Modernism and the Maltese Falcon

Description Modernism and The Maltese Falcon What is the epiphany to which The Maltese Falcon brings the reader? You may approach this from a theoretical perspective, or you can just identify an epiphany without using theory. The epiphany should, however, demonstrate a new way of questioning or thinking about some aspect of American ideology within the context of modernity (the historical time period) and the methodology of modernism (the artistic movement) as we defined them in class. Your initial post should be structured in the same form as your responses. It should begin with a short intro paragraph in which you state your specific argument (the epiphany), followed by several body paragraphs in which you prove your point with analysis of quoted language from the novel. End with a short conclusion. This initial post should be 500 words.
