2. “I’m not a Final Girl” An intersectional character analysis of Jade in Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart Is a Chainsaw and its pedagogical implications in the EFL classroom
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)Sammanfattning : The following essay applies an intersectional lens to the character analysis of Jade, the main character in Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart Is a Chainsaw (2021), as it aims to introduce EFL students to the principles of the intersectional theory framework.
