Students were asked to examine the final section of Shelley's Frankenstein and Marlowe's Faustus. The class were asked to COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE CREATURE'S FINAL SPEECH WITH THE FINAL SECTION OF MARLOWE'S FAUSTUS. The class discussion considered Shelley's use of Walton, the significance of The Chorus at the end of Marlowe's play, the significance of references to the natural world, the significance of fire imagery, the differing representations of Hell, and considered how each author explores the themes of isolation and punishment at the end of each text.
The class were asked to produce a 30 minute timed essay that explored the conclusion to the two texts through the themes of isolation and punishment. A tough task.
HOMEWORK: Read.Read.Read. Some students need to be finishing coursework.
