Question

which questions may be applied to literary analysis from a feminist approach? select three options.
□ how is the relationship between men and women portrayed?
□ does the literature depict patriarchy uncritically or challenge it?
□ how could men be excluded from this literary work?
□ do characterizations reflect a traditional social hierarchy?
□ does the literature help prove that women are better than men?
□ does the literature explain why the status quo is appropriate?

Explanation:

• A feminist literary analysis focuses on gender roles, patriarchy, and power dynamics between men and women.
• "How is the relationship between men and women portrayed?" examines gender dynamics, relevant to feminism.
• "Does the literature depict patriarchy uncritically or challenge it?" assesses the work’s stance on patriarchal systems, central to feminist analysis.
• "Do characterizations reflect a traditional social hierarchy?" looks at hierarchical structures (often gender - based) in character portrayal, relevant to feminist study.
• "How could men be excluded from this literary work?" is not a typical feminist question as feminism focuses on gender equality and women’s experiences, not excluding men.
• "Does the literature help prove that women are better than men?" misrepresents feminism (which is about equality, not female superiority).

Answer:

• How is the relationship between men and women portrayed?
• Does the literature depict patriarchy uncritically or challenge it?
• Do characterizations reflect a traditional social hierarchy?
