All literature lovers
- To share the joys of reading fiction.
- To discuss and exchange ideas on Margaret Atwood’s Hag Seed, her narrative techniques, her recurrent themes and her fictional universe.
- To build strategies that will enable the participants to take an active role in the creation of the meaning of the novel.
In Hag Seed (2016), Margaret Atwood explores the life of theatre director Felix who, betrayed by a trusted colleague, is exiled from his position in society. Having suffered in isolation, Felix is granted the position of teaching in a prison literacy program, and begins to plot his revenge against those who betrayed him. Throughout the novel, Atwood manages to subtly draw parallelisms between Felix’s predicament and the life of Prospero, the wronged Duke of Milan, who has also suffered exile on a remote island in William Shakespeare’s masterful The Tempest. Both Atwood’s and Shakespeare’s works will enter a dialogic relationship in which the main themes of loss, revenge, imprisonment (literal and metaphorical) will be resignified.
- Presentation of an integrated approach to Margaret Atwood’s Hag Seed (2016).
