Students were once more encouraged to consider Ao2 across three gothic texts and notes were gathered in response to the question: HOW SIGNIFICANT ARE THE SYMBOLS OF LIGHT AND FIRE IN THE GOTHIC TEXTS THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS YEAR?
This question was considered in relation to Frankenstein, Macbeth and Faustus. In the next lesson I will be providing students with an exemplar response to this question.
The second session explored the AQA essay title: CONSIDER THE VIEW THAT LITERATURE WITHIN THE GOTHIC GENRE IS ALWAYS SHOCKING.
HOMEWORK: Students should attempt a timed written response to the 'SHOCKING' essay title. Students might like to consider the purpose of the comedy in Faustus. This feature of Faustus is so important as it is a unique dramatic feature within the four texts you have covered this year. The Porter in Macbeth is the only other comedic moment across the texts. Is the use of comedy shocking? There are many ways to answer this question. I look forward to receiving your considered responses.
