How does Edna Pontellier defy the “Angel of the House” model of womanhood in The Awakening? Write an essay analyzing Edna’s rebellion against nineteenth-century gender roles.Question 3. Dystopian fiction engages in probing political questions by projecting the culmination of social problems of the present onto an alternate social world. To comment on the pressing political realities of their day, authors of dystopian fiction envision apocalyptic social scenarios that warn us against immanent threats to our freedoms in the here and now. Dystopian fiction tends to identify social practices and norms that result in the repression of the citizenry, as seen in themes like totalitarian government, censorship, social conformity, economic exploitation, social discrimination, and technological surveillance. Using Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s “Harrison Bergeron,” write an essay that analyzes the novel’s apocalyptic framework used to produce the writer’s social critique.
