Literature is the most complex form of art as it can reflect upon all other forms of expression. This course aims to enhance students' sensibility in verbal expression by guiding them through the close reading of a number of literary pieces selected from world literature. The course will introduce various methods in the very act of reading and important concepts in literary theories. The training of close reading will encourage the students to explore all different possibilities in interpreting the same text. The objective of this training is to help students in forming the habit of digging deeper meaning in a text and of relating their own work to various possible contexts.
