Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men-How Do we read the ending? A Short Analysis and Tusi Note!
Steinbeck’s final moments of his short novel, Of Mice and Men are both tragic and yet hopeful.

This glimpse of hope prevents the close of the novel being utterly bleak and [...]

GCSE English Literature: A reader’s dilemma?
Studying English Literature for GCSE can sometimes signal the death knell for reading for pleasure. For whilst reading may be regarded as fun, perhaps the detailed analysis of texts may corrode enthusiasm, particularly when the discipline of analysis seems a chore. Analysis can be regarded as a slow poisoning of the original pleasure!! Many students I have tutored [...]

Browning’s ‘My last Duchess’ : An analysis of this AQA poem-revisited.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of exploring this poem in the AQA Anthology, where it is enjoying the attention of today’s students once again. It has a very particular, if slightly unnerving appeal and like Browning’s other murderous monologues, this poem has a theatricality about it that allows the poem to be ‘seen’ and acted [...]

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. The poem encourages students to re-evaluate their relationship with time, especially where intimacy is concerned. The intensity of the poem stems from the secrecy of the relationship [...]

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 [...]
