Question: The appendix of your book discusses a wide variety of literary critical theories and gives examples of each approach. The approaches discussed are Formalism, New Criticism, Reader-Response, Feminist, Marxist, Psychoanalytical, Structuralism, Deconstruction, Cultural Studies, New Historicism, Queer Theory, Postcolonial, and American Multiculturalism. Two theories that your book does not discuss but are also important are Biographical and Historical.

We haven't read any literature in the course yet, but most people have seen popular movies within the past 15 years. Choose a film you think other people in the class would have either seen or heard about and apply three of the theories from above and explain how watching the film through the different theories would change the way the audience would understand the film.
