Lesson outcome

I can emulate Atwood’s use of dehumanisation, disconcerting labels and conflicting emotions to craft my own untrustworthy character voice.

Show transcript
Arguably, Atwood crafts an untrustworthy voice for the narrator of ‘Alias Grace’. To emulate Atwood’s use of an untrustworthy voice, we might attach a disconcerting label to the character. We might then demonstrate how the character has conflicting feelings towards this label. We may then compare the label to something fashionable that may enhance the character’s appearance. The character might also be dehumanised in someway to imply that they don’t have the same human emotions.
