Mini-Muriel Spark's novel was first published exactly 50 years ago and still remains one of the most read books of this writer. Me, her popularity is not surprising, interesting, and you too;) I think that the discussion will tell whether "The Prime of Miss Brodie" is just a reading light, fast and easy, or something more.
Questions for today:
first What are your general impression on reading? Can you liked the style of the book?
second The main character is known for his unconventional teaching methods. What do you think of them?
third Miss Brodie says in the novel twice :
Again I was given to understand that I should apply for a job in one of those progressive schools where my methods would be much more appropriate than in Blaine. But I do not intend to seek a job in any of these crazy schools. Remain in this factory of education. Healthy ferment is needed. Give me any girl in the peak absorption, and this is mine for life. [p.10]
Why in your opinion did not want to go to the "progressive" school?
4th How to explain the fascination with fascism, the main character?
5th Miss Brodie was actually hoping that Rose will initiate an affair with an art teacher. Why?
6th Miss Brodie is a positive or negative character?
7th Why Sandy betrayed Miss Brodie?
8th How much (in the light novel) different life / social situation of Miss Brodie from life today singielek?
do not have to answer all the questions, but you can ask your own.
The discussion may join at any time - today, tomorrow, in a few days ...
invite;)
