• How can we explain the continued interest in a particular work in different contexts and at different times?
• What do you think of the assertion that the meaning of a text is fixed and does not change over time?

• How valid is the assertion that literature is a voice for the oppressed?
• To what extent do male and female literary characters accurately reflect the role of men and women in society?
• To what purpose do authors sometimes choose not to follow a chronological sequence of events in their literary works?
• Do works of literary merit both reflect the spirit of the time and challenge it?
• Which social groups are omitted from a text, and what might this reflect about its production?
• How does a particular concept, such as childhood, change in the way it is represented in the texts you have studied?
• How is our critical perspective on literary texts affected by cultural practices?
• To what extent is the critical approach taken to the analysis of a text itself influenced by specific cultural practices?
