Prompt
Write a Literary Analysis of “A Temporary Matter” by Jhumpa Lahiri. Follow the examples and structures discussed in chapter 11 in the textbook and as discussed in class. Choose an approach and topic from the list in the Resource Folder in this section/module. Remember that an important part of the essay is the analysis of the ambiguity and symbolism in the writing. Do not just write about the literal events in the story as that becomes a summary and nothing more. The key elements of the available topics to choose from are:
Light/Dark Symbolism
Flipped Gender Roles
Symbolism of “Temporary”
Another example of symbolism
or combinations of these
Do not write about the failing marriage/relationship as the focus of the essay giving many examples that describe or depict their failing relationship. The story has much more to say.
