I thought it would be rude, having just given you Antony & Cleopatra a few days ago, to turn around and demand an essay on it.
That being the case, we have another one to round out our expression on The House of Mirth. Take these seriously; you need to know how to respond to the novel text, as it is our only one!
- Pay particular attention to the sections of our course book that deal with answering passage-based questions.
- Remember to construct an argument: make an overall judgement of what is being expressed, relate it to how this is a commentary on social groups, and on society as a whole.
- Be a lawyer; have multiple sources of evidence, and do not leave stones unturned in the provided passage.
- Use the advice from the Examiner Report.
And away we go. :)
Read the following passage, starting near the bottom of page 140:
From the line "He paused, flushed by his diatribe..."
To the end line at the bottom of page 141, "...and the angry streaks on Trenor's face might have been raised by an actual lash."
Comment closely on the presentation of the confrontation in the passage.
See me if you have any questions!
