Subtext:
The prefix "sub-" means under, below, or secondary.
Working definition:
Subtext is the "deeper" message, or that which something is "saying" without actually "saying" it.
Subtext = "So what are you trying to say?"
Subtext is ALWAYS a statement (For example: The subtext of this is women are smart).
Subtext is NEVER one word (For example: The subtext of this is race).
Purpose:
We will be using subtext to analyze the deeper messages found in art, advertisements, and the world around us.
