      EXERCISES AND QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

      (1) Make a list of times in your life when you have encountered subtext in conversations with others. What did the person say? What did the person mean? How did you respond to the feeling that you weren’t hearing the total truth? How long did it take you to figure out the subtext?

      (2) Have you encountered subtext in other cultures, whether through cultures of a different ethnic, national, or social background, or a different class or economic background? How did you figure out the subtext? Did someone ever discuss it with you?

      (3) Has your intuition ever told you that something going on was “bad” or “evil,” but your logic wanted to deny this feeling? Did you feel there was subtext in the situation? Did you later find out you were correct?

      (4) Look at a film that deals with hidden psychological problems, such as The Soloist (2009), The Three Faces of Eve (1957), or Sybil (1976). How does the film convey the problems that are beneath the surface?

      (5) Do you have favorite examples of subtext from films that either amuse you, or that you find especially powerful?

      expressing subtext through words: character information and backstory

      Words imply. Words suggest. Words point to meaning. Some words work better than others. To reveal the subtext, words aren’t arbitrary, but are often written and rewritten and rewritten some more to make sure the subtext comes through in spite of the text. Great writers know their job – to find the right word, the best word, and to let the subtext shine beneath the words.
