Welcome to Litsy!

This semester I‘m taking a class that should probably be called “The Literary Cred of Harry Potter.” Our assignment this week: read PoA and several articles about how HP echoes gothic novels! Amazing fun. 😊

"The House of Asterion" - another, yet unique, trad story retold from the monster's POV. Steeped in defensive language (contrast w conclusion) and self-justification, A's alternate narrative is terrifying. And also human. Distorted redemption/Christian refs. #intertextuality #perceptionasreality
