Students will probably find the discussion and subsequent analysis of the outcast more relevant if they are presented with themes and issues which allow them to personalize the struggles of those rejected by society. Are the students certain that the community within the literary work is a fair society? Is it unfairly biased? Is the outcast a true threat to the well being of the community or is the outcast a target of hatred, ignorance and prejudice? This curriculum unit is relevant to the senior year of British literature because it serves to supplement the continuum of genre with issues surrounding the antagonist and not the ever-so-predictable hero. More to the point, this unit provides a forum for grasping the concepts of good and evil as well as the person throughout history deemed the outcast by society.
