What should you do? Write a literary analysis essay that utilizes the frameworks of multiple schools of literary criticism to compare and contrast the quests of the heroes in the following works of art: 1. Albert in Richard Hills’ Albert and his Women and Albert and more women. 2. Helene Cixous in her feminist essay “The Laugh of Medusa” 3. Katherine Johnson in the movie Hidden Figures Your paper should start with an introduction that briefly describes the three artifacts you will examine. It should also end with a clear thesis statement about the quests of the heroes and how it is represented in different contexts and which of these representations appeals to you the most. Your body paragraphs should compare the heroes’ quests in terms of different schools of literary criticism. • You should rely on psychoanalytic criticism and Christopher Campbell’s steps of a hero’s journey to explain Albert’s quest. • To understand Cixous’ quest you should apply the framework of feminist criticism. • In analyzing the movie, you should apply the principles of culture centered criticism enhanced with some of the ideas of visual rhetoric criticism to zoom in on Katherine Johnson’s quest.

Omi and Winant state that “For most of its existence…the U.S. was a racial dictatorship…It is important to recognize that in many respects, racial dictatorship is the norm against which all U.S. politics must be measured” (179). Cammarota argues that white saviors represented in popular media overshadow the fact that people of color are a part of and, most importantly, make history. In contrast, white allies can help promote leadership among people of color by challenging the privileges that provide them with superior social status and legitimacy. Discussing two films (BlackKklansman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and/or The Perfect Family) how are the concepts of race represented? In what ways is the U.S. still a racial dictatorship? Or is it not? What Racial Formation Projects are shown in the films? Are white allies or saviors present? Do the white characters work for the benefit of themselves or others? Use evidence for or against their statement from the films. I will attach all of the sources needed! No need for outside sources! The three sources sources I attached should be cited as well as the two films chosen.
