The Mummy:

Do you see any racism in this movie? How are Arab/Egyptian characters treated?

Examine each characters' nationalities. How is each one treated?

 

Magi: "I am a stranger from the East seeking that which was lost."

O'Connell: "I am a stranger from the West. I am that which you seek."

What do you make of this exchange?

 

Who really saves the day? Why do those people triumph?


Livingstone and Stanley:

Are there any discrepancies between their accounts?

What about differences between the tones of each account? What accounts for the differences in tone? How would you describe the tones of each one?

Can you see a difference between each person's religious beliefs?

Where is racism evident in either account?

Why has the story of Stanley finding Livingstone become such a popular one in our culture?
