Nov 3rd Essay

Here is the passage to annotate and turn into some clear analytical writing.

I am looking to see you deelop your writing skills and show me that you have knowledge and understanding of how to explore the meaning within language - you began the course in September doing this when we looked at the title of the play.

the sections to break your essay down into.
  • Language and literary analysis - how Wilde uses lexis, topic, syntax, grammar, rhetorical and literary devices to reveal the characters and their attitudes.
  • How Wilde exposes the hypocrisies of Victorian society through the use of inversion. In other words how by having his characters say things which appear opposite to what is expected he is able to comment on the society he lived in and observed. (roles of men and women, education, vanity etc.)
  • How and why the two sections above may lead to humour - irony, satire and sarcasm.
In total your essay should be about 1000 words.
