Paper details:
Analytical response to the play “Dutchman”.
Choose one (1) of the following questions and write a well organized and developed analytical response (about 550-750 words). Support your response with documented quotes from the play.
Make sure that your response is well organized, developed, edited, and supported by documented references to the text of
Dutchman:
a. Is there a protagonist (a central character who is dynamic, who undergoes significant change) in Dutchman? Is there an antagonist (a static person, idea, or concept that stands in opposition to protagonist) in the play?
If yes, identify both the protagonist and the antagonist in the play, explain your selections as well as how the antagonist acts as a change agent for the protagonist. If no, explain in detail why not.
b. Write a detailed character analysis of Lula. Who is she? What are her intentions as she watches Clay from the train’s platform? As she boards the train? As she sits down next to Clay? As she taunts him? How do Lula’s actions drive the plot of Dutchman?
