Hello Everyone,
In anticipation of our final discussion on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I'd like to post a few questions that I have been thinking about:
1) Is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a feminist text?
2) Is the representation of violence in this novel gratuitous, or does it create an awareness of violence against women that may lead to social engagement?
3) Lisbeth Salandar has no qualms about using violence herself to "teach lessons." Is this acceptable? Understandable? Or, just a reinforcement of the biblical "eye for an eye" message?
