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 [...]

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 [...]

Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Text’ from Rapture: An Analysis
Human intimacy can be fraught with misunderstanding and misgiving. We all feel D-R-E-A-D at times! This media age, with its obsession with texting, has escalated the dread of rejection, and of disappointed love intensely. There are so many ways nowadays to communicate and to be found, that our communication is up for assessment and reassessment [...]

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 [...]
