@daniella_seels I read it as an explosion of anger and disbelief, especially with the repetition of "who the hell set things up like this." #hc220

How does Jordan use structure to influence how we read the poem? #hc220

Lorde examines the necessity of interdependence and inclusion as part of solidarity, whereas unity is defined as feminism as a whole. #hc220 https://t.co/CgF15JqeDY

How does the difference between solidarity and unity line the entire work by Audre Lorde? #HC220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

After watching the TEDx talk on the subjunctive, I appreciated how Lorde compared the passive "be" to the active "being" for women. #hc220

@lrbmhc I think her "I"s are plural, referring to the (sometimes untold) experiences of people or women that she aligns herself with. #hc220

@GCHC220 I think Oscar's Dominican-ness connects w/ his intimacy with girls. Oscar dies, but love and sex were more important to him. #hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

What does Oscar want more of (when he dreams of the mongoose)? Fukú? Love? The fantasy of dying for love? To be alive? #hc220

(cont) they were viewed in society. https://t.co/HTH1F28kWi

Oscar and Abelard seem to have the same internal conflicts and intelligence level. However, the family's wealth back then could change how https://t.co/npN4W3jPRU

Does Yunior's narrative contradict the first-person narratives of the individual characters? #HC220

I think it's also interesting how Beli's dark skin and straight hair is antagonized by both Dominicans and people of other races! https://t.co/JyUSLQqqnL

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

I think it's both in Beli's case because her transition into a desirable woman gives her power yet leads to her eventual downfall. https://t.co/adtWrcepH0

[cute ugly @chris_kim98]

Is Beli's "concreteness of her desirability" an empowering privilege or an inevitable circumstance to cope with? Is it both? #HC220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

Does the inclusion of politics enhance or distract the reader from the central plot?#hc220

How do Lola and Beli both exercise control over each others' lives? #hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

How trustworthy is the narrator? Can we assume that his narration is unbiased? How does the narrator know Oscar's inner thoughts? #hc220

Although the Cardinal and Ferdinand succeed in silencing the Duchess in the public eye, they fail to deconstruct her private self. #hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

Are Delio's last remarks supposed to be a symbol of hope? Can we still feel hopeful for the future after everyone's deaths? #hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

Why did Webster choose to briefly bring the Duchess back to life? Is it more torturous for her to know that Antonio died?#hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

What is the difference between reputation which once "part[ed] from any man...am never found again" and virtue? #hc220

[Yu Qing Xu @_yuqingxu]

The Cardinal and Ferdinand are presented as "twins in quality" in Act I. How does that change in Act II?#HC220
