Reaction paper
Reaction paper : Some questions to guide the reaction paper might include-whose story is being told? How are we positioned by the camera? How are we positioned within frame of the story? What is the ‘primal scene?’ What does Mulvey mean by ‘the return of the repressed?’ How is the father figure a ‘trope of Gothic fiction?’ What is the ‘uncanny?’ What version of the Oedipal drama is being played out here? Has your interpretation of the film changed since reading Mulvey? If so, how? If not, share the ways in which your initial interpretation parallels Mulvey’s. How does this film mean? How are ‘women’ re-presented?
