| Abstract [eng] |
The line between writer and teacher is often blurred, raising questions about the roles and overlaps between these professions. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between writer and teachers, specifically the role of the writer-teacher, by examining the works of Thornton Wilder, Theophilus North and Heaven's My Destination. By analyzing Wilder's personal connection to teaching and the presence of educational themes in his works, this study seeks to establish a framework for understanding the distinction between a writer-teacher and a teacher-writer. Through the comparison of Wilder's novels, biographical readings, and scholarly articles on the subject, this research aims to shed light on the extent to which Wilder's identity as a writer-teacher is reflected in his writing and what value that presents to the future discussion of educational theory and the contemporary American education system as a whole. |
