Apply two literary theories to a text. Consider how the position adopted in a critical perspective reflects a particular interpretation of a text. The perspectives can either be from an identified lens or reflect your awareness of your own critical reading of a text and the way in which that is informed by the perspectives of other readers, viewers or critics. From a historical perspective Hannah Kent employs a postmodernist structure to her novel Burial Rites. She signifies the rich culture and social context of life in a 19th century Iceland, with her grand portrayal of third-dimensional characters and inclusion of official historical texts.…
