Woolf "To the Lighthouse" and Glaspell "Trifles"?

Examine the ways in which authours are concerned with the concept of identity, especially in regards to definitions of familial/gender roles. What ecactry is identity and according to the writers, how is it established? To what degree is the creation of and individual%26#039;s identity within his/her contro? How much of an individual%26#039;s identity is dictated by society and what do the writers say about that situation? What changes in identity do the main characters of each work undergo, and how are those changes relevant to the overall point each writer is rtying to make? Do the writers imply that individuals should struggle to establish their own identities, or shoul they, rather, acccept existing identity structure?|||whoa


that%26#039;s a doozy of a question...





here%26#039;s shmoop%26#039;s page of To The Lighthouse:

that should help you with that book - even if you%26#039;ve read it (which you should), it can be really rough to understand, or see what Woolf is up to. Shmoop helps break it down and explain that.





so if you can find some help with Glaspell, you%26#039;ll be good to go. good luck!
