Writing Assignment for "O Brother Where Art
Thou"
Choose any one theme or scene or character in the film to analyze in
depth (script is on-line here:
http://www.allmoviescripts.com/scripts/131139753f4e8411a605b.html). Your
goal is to show how the film plays off Homer's Odyssey. Observations of
other classical moments in the film are welcome in an additional list (not
essay form). Your essay should be 300-500 words (typed, double-spaced). Feel
free to cite both the film and the Odyssey directly to prove the connection
you are drawing between book and film (but limit your direct quotes to only
the necessary length). Your list can be as long as you like (extra credit
for really good observations we didn't mention in class discussion).
