I’ll first like to mention, how thankful I am to go to a liberal art college and to be able to take a gender course. I went in the course thinking that I would have to change my opinions on certain topics just to earn a good grade but it wasn’t like that.

Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 2 is a haunting moment in the film Autumn Sonata. Its disjointedness and somber melody matches Eva and Charlotte's complex relationship. Charlotte's interpretation further provides insight into her narcissistic anxiety and fear of being powerless through her explanation of Chopin's manliness and how he conceals its pain, and by how the pianist must take control of this pain in order to emerge triumphant in the song. By admitting to the “almost ugly” sound of the piece…
