Lesson outcome
I can present a convincing argument about how to interpret Katherine Mansfield’s short story, ‘The Fly’ (1922).
Show transcript
You could argue that Mansfield is critical of the older generation in ‘The Fly’.
At points, Mansfield seems to present the older generation as complacent, infantile and vacuous.
These criticisms could stem from the idea that the older generation were not impacted by war as deeply as the younger.
However, there is no one correct interpretation of ‘The Fly’.
