Bride & Prejudice

tHeOriEs/tHeoRiSts...

The theories/theorists that I have chosen to elaborate on regarding my study on 'Bride & Prejudice' are the following:

Postmodernism theory: meaning that a text may not be completely realistic – which in this case is inclusive as this film is a musical. This makes it seem more fantasy/unrealistic or fairy tale styled.

Narrative theories: using the ideas of Prop and Todorov

Feminist theory: this could relate to the many different women in this film and their differentiating roles and opinions in comparison to each other.

Psychoanalytical theory: this is the identification and representation/portrayal of characters

Ras,

Clear understanding of what your going to do, so you have collected research that is relevant! Your writing style and the way you get your piont across also cleary, you have also already provided us with texts you wil be comparing it with and pictures to. To improve your study even further actually research into these texts and find out SPECIFICALLY how u will include it in ur study, maybe picking out individuals.
