Choose one of:
Orozco’s\u00a0Prometheus\u00a0(1930)
Supernatural, “Remember the Titans.”
In the box below, discuss how Orozco or the\u00a0Supernatural\u00a0writing team uses the myth of Prometheus, how that’s similar or different to Mary Shelley’s use, and what you understand about the idea of a Prometheus figure as a result of the comparison.
Although I’m not looking for a formal essay, your reaction should do the following:
summarize the myth of Prometheus in 2-3 sentences (include only the aspects that are important to the rest of your response)
describe your choice of text (the mural or the tv episode) in 2-3 sentences (a description doesn’t get into deep details; it just allows someone to identify the thing you’re talking about)
explain how Prometheus is used in that text (here, this is more than saying “the main figure\/monster of the week is Prometheus”; instead, you should provide details about the use)
explain how\u00a0Supernatural\u00a0or Orozco’s idea of\/usage of Prometheus is different from Mary Shelley’s (that’s going to require you to first state who the Prometheus figure in\u00a0Frankenstein\u00a0is, at the very least)
answer what you take away from this week’s content about Promethean figures — this is where your own ideas and outside connections come into play. <\/p>\n
