Jhumpa Lahiri's 'The Third and Final Continent'

1 Abril 2025, 12:30 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today, TP9 identified some of the themes present in Jhumpa Lahiri's short title story 'The Third and Final Continent'. We didn't brainstorm thesis statements today as we then brainstormed themes in the collection as a whole.

Note: anyone who missed today's class can consult the PowerPoint available on the shared Google drive entitled 'Interpreter of Maladies Themes'. Here you can see the themes that we have come up for each story and for the collection as a whole.

Next class: we'll be looking at research papers on Interpreter of Maladies.
