Question 3 • ELA 10B - 2023

Which statement best describes the similarities between the feminist and historical approaches to literary analysis?

Answer
A
Both limit analysis to the words on the page rather than considering factors that influenced the author.
B
Neither considers how social forces affect the literary work.
C
Neither considers where and when the author lived or how those factors affected the literary work.
D
Both consider how cultural and political forces affect the literary work.

Explanation

Both feminist and historical approaches look beyond the words on the page to consider context. Feminist analysis examines how gender and power relations shape a work, while historical analysis considers the social and political conditions of its time. Therefore, both consider how cultural and political forces affect the literary work.
