Description: For this essay, you will compare and contrast two characters from either Get Out or The VVitch. Below are a few ideas:
-Using Get Out, compare and contrast Chris and Rod to determine who in fact takes the title of “Hero.”
-Using The VVitch, compare and contrast Thomasin and one other character to determine who is the greatest sinner within the film.
A few things to keep in mind:
-This essay type utilizes one of two distinct essay structures, either Point Method or Block Method.
-Consider the nature of this essay, you should view it as an opportunity to strike for an A.
-Use secondary sources (Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey for Get Out and Dante’s Rings of Hell for The VVitch) to bolster your argument.
-Simply telling you reader “Chris is passive while Rod is active means that Rod is the hero of the film” constitutes 50% of the work. You MUST SHOW SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the film to back up your claims.
