Manuel Puig, Kiss of the Spider Woman
This is a response paper for “Kiss of the Spider Woman” by Manuel Puig (ISBN 978-0679724490). Take these issues into consideration when writing the response paper: 1) The representation of crime in this novel and if the boundaries between the criminal, the authority, and the victim are clear or they are frequently blurred. 2) The point of view of the narrative: think on who is telling the story and if this point of view has any influence on how the criminal, the authority or the victim are represented. 3) The role of the institutions (the State) in these dynamics. 4) If the discourses on Gender shape these representations. MUST BE: the last line of the response paper must include one question for discussion. It should be a question that problematizes the vision of crime presented in the assignment.
