Private English Tutor/Tuition Manchester, Bolton, Bury: Shena Mackay’s The Orchard on Fire: Descriptive Writing at its best!

Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Hour’ An Analysis Revisited
I am revisiting this analysis as I have just been reading through the AQA English Anthology and this Carol Ann Duffy poem is included in the ‘relationships’ section.

Jane Eyre’s first encounter with Rochester:Chapter 12- A short Analysis on the irony of retrospect!
Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books, with one of the most feisty and resourceful heroines in English literature. Virginia Woolf found the emotional lives of the characters in the Bronte sisters’ novels too extreme. too full of feeling that set her worlds outside of the reader’s more ordinary experience. Whilst I can understand [...]

Human intimacy can be fraught with misunderstanding and misgiving. We all feel D-R-E-A-D at times!

An Analysis of Carol Ann Duffy’s Disgrace revisited.
Yesterday I explored AQA’s Anthology poem Quickdraw from Carol Ann Duffy’s Rapture collection. I did express my disappointment with that poem and perhaps its rather self conscious contrivance.The row didn’t convince as it is usurped by the manipulations of cowboy mythology. This poem however is direct and bleak. You can feel the emotional chill, the [...]

AQA English Anthology: Analysis of Carol Ann Duffy’s Quickdraw.
This poem is taken from Carol Ann Duffy’s collection Rapture, for which she won the T S Eliot poetry prize. The collection explores the rise and fall of a love affair, a relationship I find that is expressed rather idealistically, if impractically, as it strives to identify this love as the love of all loves [...]

Dickens’ David Copperfield: A brief analysis of rooms.
Rooms are places of deep psycholgical unrest in Dickens. People feel trapped in spaces where age old drama are played out again and again. Repetition signifies deadly stasis and sterility. Think of Great Expectations and Little Dorrit! Would you feel alarmed by such companions in your bedroom? The very idea of a portrait gazing down [...]
