Peer Review 3

Caitlin Burke- Critically discuss how Patrick White comments on relationship dynamics and the uprising of a feminist movement in the 1960s in his short story “Miss. Slattery And Her Demon Lover”?

Fantastic blog topic Caitlin!! I also read this story as one of fantastic social and relational commentary. I similarly wrote a creative letter on the same topic and its so great to read your critical piece along the same lines. We must think alike! Your identification of his fantastic literary techniques that really make this story and its powerful message come to life are wonderful. I also love the symbolism in the piece. Your post covers two large topics, feminism and relationship imbalance, in a relatively small blog limit. I found myself left wanting a little more on both, but I think this is a refection on the word limit rather than your writing. Thank you for an enjoyable read.
