I have chosen to analyse the prejudicial treatment and discrimination of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, class and most definitely gender. These themes are prominent in my chosen texts, the short story The Doll’s House by Katherine Mansfield, the documentary Born into Brothels by Zana Briski, the novel Sold by Patricia Mccormick and the film Gran Torino by Clint Eastwood.
