About the Video:
Most of the footage in this video has no direct connection to the novel being discussed. The clips have been repurposed to create new meaning in relation to the literary work. Ideally, this collage of media will help to offer compelling insights, though the attempt might be clumsy at times and viewers are warned that these things should not be taken too seriously: Tis all in good fun.
