Agenda• Background info for “The Demon
Lover” (p. 1157) • Examine the photographs—What was
the effect of WWII on London? On the psyches of London’s citizens?
• Read the story for understanding. • Focus on literary terms:
foreshadowing, flashback, tone. • Historical criticism: How does the
time in which the story is written affect the reader’s understanding?
On Sept.7, 1940, the German Luftwaffe began its “blitz” of England—a series of nightly air raids that were intended to create fear and panic for British citizens.
For 57 straight nights, Londoners were forced underground. In the worst incident, 450 people were
killed when a bomb destroyed their shelter.
