Rarely do we see our EXACT selves in the art we consume. It can be as simple as a character (or a particular aspect of a character), a conflict, a decision, or any other singular moment that resonated with you. Again, it doesn’t have to be an EXACT connection. It can be adjacent to you. Don’t be shy to share your honest thoughts & feelings. If it reminded you of anything, share that as well. In academic circles we tend to undervalue the personal experiences we have with a text in favor of a more “scientific” approach to analysis.
