1. Steppenwolf–Read the preface! (up to page 22) Annotate as you read (using post its) or after in your notebook!
2. Class Forum–To Come
3. Steppenwolf–(Due Monday, April 4th) Read and annotate up to p. 40 (stop at The Treatise). Tonight’s reading gives us the first glimpse into the mind of Harry Haller/Steppenwolf. Please be prepared to discuss the preface and tonight’s reading on the morrow. Till then…enjoy the steppes…
4. Steppenwolf–(Due Tuesday, April 5th) Read and annotate “The Treatise” (pp. 40-66). The treatise is critical to understanding Harry and to getting a literary grip on the rest of the novel. Each part of the Treatise presents an argument on the Steppenwolf. Keep that in mind as you read across the three sections and note how they represent a progression for the Steppenwolf.
Part I (40-50)
Part II (50-56)
Part III (56-66)
5. (You should have your Jung notes in class each day during the Steppenwolf experience.) Carl Jung–Hermann Hesse’s Steppenwolf is the manifestation of Jungian influence (among other things), so it is imperative that you be familiar with Carl Jung. Research Carl Jung focusing on (but not limiting yourself to) the following: collective unconscious, anima/animus, mother archetype, shadow, complex, ego, self, persona. Additionally, research Carl Jung’s influence on Hermann Hesse. You must take notes in your binder (2 pages). As we read Steppenwolf, you will be expected to make connections to Carl Jung. Here is a good starting point. Let me stress, developing control of Jung is not optional; you are expected to develop control and demonstrate that control when discussing and writing about Steppenwolf.
