In this lesson from POV, students will watch documentary video clips that provide a case study of a woman who reads modern-day romance novels and tries to recreate a fantasy from a novel in her real life. Students will break down and analyze her behavior, and then use a psychological theory of motivation to explain it. The video clips in this lesson are from the film Guilty Pleasures, a documentary that offers a perceptive look at the world of the romance novel by profiling five people involved in it. The roles of these five vary widely, and through them the film reveals the deeper personal and social meaning of the genre's allure.
