“Walter Fane’s Obituary”
Students will compile text details about Walter Fane in order to compose an obituary for his character, then compare their view of Walter with classmates’ views.
Write an obituary for the deceased Walter Fane.
Teaching Suggestion: Discuss in class the ways in which an obituary’s tone can be either flattering or realistic (incorporating a person’s faults). When the students have finished the obituaries, they might discuss as a class Maugham’s view of human character.
