Analyzing Inferences and Implications in "The Killing Joke"

This activity explores the inferences and implications drawn from the graphic novel "The Killing Joke." Readers will analyze information that is suggested by the author but not explicitly stated. Through guided sentence frames, participants will contemplate what they can infer about the characters, particularly the Joker, and the author's intent. Discussion questions will encourage deeper understanding of narrative techniques, such as point of view and the balance between showing and telling in storytelling. Engaging with the text critically develops analytical skills in literary interpretation.

Is it fair in “The Killing Joke”? Is it fair in “Hills Like White Elephants”? • What is the Point-of-View in “The Killing Joke”? Is it possible to tell a story in the graphic novel format from any of the other points-of-view(1st-person, 3rd-person limited, or 3rd-person omniscient)? How might the author have done this?
