Read the text The Garden Party. Then answer the follwing questions (Choose a few questions, not all question have to be answered) :
In what ways does Laura deceive herself about class and class distinctions? What do you think about her reactions to meeting the workmen putting up the marquee? In Jennifer Rich’s article, what argument is made about class in the story? Do you agree with the discussion?
What does liminality mean, and what kinds of ‘liminality’ are Laura exposed to in the story, according to Atkinson?
What does the intrusion of the fatal accident mean in the story? Which contrast is created, beyond that of class? What does seeing the dead body make Laura realize? Why, do you think, does death have such a different meaning here compared to in Lawrence’s story, what is it that the two respective authors want to achieve?
What are the main arguments put forward in the three articles? How are they different? What is Atkinson’s main argument? In what way is it possible to see that Kleine’s article is written in the 1960s, while Rich’s is new? How has the language use changed?
