Extra Credit | “The Feather Pillow”

A student 1 found this awesome stop motion film of Horacio Quiroga’s “The Feather Pillow” on YouTube and recommended that I check it out. It’s absolutely worth a watch. 2 Hearing the story in Spanish, however, definitely changes my interpretation of the story’s plot. Sometimes, when you translate a text from its original language, it is difficult to find the same precise word choice and things can become lost in translation. 

CHALLENGE | What do you think? Does watching this short film  change the way you interpreted “The Feather Pillow” and viewed the main characters? Was something lost in translation when “The Feather Pillow” was translated to English? Explain in detail with examples to support your ideas.
