This final session of the term looked at Shelley's Frankenstein and considered two examination questions:
- Some readers have seen the novel as an illustration of the fear of the power of Science. To what extent do you agree with this view of the novel?
- In the introduction to the novel, Mary Shelley states that she wishes to 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' To what extent do you think she achieves her aims?
This session involved lots of class discussion and modelling.
HOMEWORK: Students need to offer their final draft of the Anthology coursework when we return to school. If you want to send me drafts to check that your final draft is precise...feel free.
STUDENTS MUST READ THEIR EXAMINATION TEXTS. THIS MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE BEFORE THE EXAM FOR STUDENTS TO INDULGE IN A DETAILED AND PROLONGED READING OF THE SET TEXTS. READ.READ.READ.
