Without the aid of books and notes, you will:

Cave and Hanging Rock: Two Mysteries, Two Muddles."
2. Discuss The Titicut Follies in a manner
that touches on at least four of the following eight topics:

(6) Keepers & Kept |
| (3) vocal music |
(7) novelization |
| (4) women |
(8) Patient Privacy and Artistic Free Speech |
3. Citing aspects of both the novel and the film,
discuss the significance of the following passage from Death in Venice:
| Nothing is more unusual and strained than the relation
between people who know each other only with their eyes, who meet daily,
even hourly, and yet are compelled, by force of custom or their own caprices
tosay no word or make no move of acknowledgement, but to maintain the appearance
of aloof unconcern. There is a restlessness and a surcharged curiosity
existing between them, the hysteria of an unsatisfied, unnaturally repressed
desire for acquaintanceship and intercourse; and especially there is a
kind of tense respect. (78-80) |
