Humanities Toolbox Discussion Topic

After reviewing the material in this class, choose two vocabulary, concepts, methods, or  theories used to interpret and analyze the Humanities that you understand well and that you have not previously posted about for your discussions.

For each, provide a brief definition and pair it with a work from the humanities that it could be used to interpret. Make sure to specifically name the work and provide a very brief example from it. Make sure to use your own words and avoid cutting and pasting from the sources. Be sure to cite the learning resources you use in your answer in MLA format.
