Dear All,
Please respond to ONE of these two questions with a clear, analytic essay of 300-450 words:
1. Use Freud, Hobbes, or Bergson to discuss the creation (and perhaps the disintegration) of the humorous mood in the text of Emma. Is the reader encouraged to laugh, and at what?
2. Jane Austen is a celebrated classic humorist, known for her "gentle satire" of society. What view of laughter and joking do you see her taking in the creation of this scenario? Feel free to alighn or distinguish her from Freud, Hobbes, or Bergson.
Take care,
Jennifer
