USF Where Are You Going Where Have You Been” by Joyce Carol Oates Reading Discussion

Description

1. Analyze “Where Are You Going” from a Feminist perspective using at least 3 examples from the text.

[Feminism definition: Feminist criticism is concerned with the ways in which literature (and other cultural productions) reinforce or undermine the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women.]

Questions that a feminist critic would ask:
How is the relationship (and power relationships) between men and women portrayed?
How are gender roles acted out? What could this indicate?
Do the characters take non-traditional gender roles?
What does it reveal about patriarchy (a system of society or government in which men hold the power)?
How would this be different if the character was a different gender?

2. The end of the story is left open ended. In two paragraphs, explain what you think happens immediately after the end of the text. Is Connie a passive victim, a noble heroine, both, or neither?
