Psychoanalytic Lit Theory Short-Essay

This is a short essay about 2 pages and must require no plagiarism.

Directions:

Using Long Day’s Journey into Night and another text we read this semester, answer
the question below. To do so, you will need to quote and/or paraphrase from the LDJN
and the other text you choose ( “A Rose for Emily”). You may use your completed grids,
as well. Do be sure to put any play titles in italics and to enclose short story titles in
quotation marks. Please do not use “you,” contractions; do use your best grammar and
formal-writing conventions.

This is a short-essay question, so you do NOT need an introduction paragraph and a
concluding paragraph. Instead, respond in one or two well developed paragraphs. You
will need to make sure you have a topic sentence and will need to use at least two
quotations/paraphrases from LDJN and another two from( A rose for Emily)the other
work (minimum of four all together). Do introduce quotations and do cite. No works
cited page is needed.

You are fully capable of responding to these questions on your own!

Thus, do NOT use other outside resources, whether friends, family,databases, books,
articles, SparkNotes, LitCharts, Schmoop, etc. Doing so will result in an F on the
assignment, and students will be reported to the Dean of Students for further
disciplinary action.

Psychoanalytic Critical Approach:

William Faulkner said that “the past is not dead; it is not even past.” Show how the early

family life of one character in LDJN and the character in another text demonstrate

patterns created from the characters’ childhoods/family dynamics. Be sure to give

specific examples from the two texts in the form of exact quotations from the two texts

[minimum of four, total].
