Unit 1: The Mask of Humanity

This unit delves into the concept of masks in human behavior and identity, drawing on essential literary works and insights from thinkers like Blaise Pascal and Oscar Wilde. Through readings such as "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, students will examine the dualities of self-perception and societal roles. By engaging in assessments like creating a mask that symbolizes public and hidden identities, participants will explore how these masks influence everyday life and relationships.
