Now then folks. Here are a few tips for your reading and revision over this half-term:
- Students should be linking the theme of SIN AND PUNISHMENT across three texts. Students should be able to use textual reference to illustrate the nature of the sin and the nature of the punishment across three gothic texts.
- Students should be able to identify the nature of the suffering endured by characters that have transgressed the boundaries between Man and God.
- Students should be able to discuss how LOCATION is used as a SYMBOL in three texts.
- Students need to be able to discuss how symbolism is used to shape meaning across three texts.
- Students should be able to link themes across three texts. For example how does each author explore the theme of isolation?
- Students should be considering five or six critical comments relating to the nature of the gothic tradition. For example, we have used Angela Carter's 'a gothic text is a cruel text' as a starting point when considering the gothic tradition.
- Students must be linking texts to the gothic tradition. This is an area of our work that we need to improve.
- Students need to be able to explain how the characters of Victor, the creature, Justine, The Old Man, Faustus, Mephistophilis, Helen of Troy, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth..are used as symbols to shape meaning.
