Thinking of using 1984 (George Orwell) for the Leaving Certificate English Comparative Study? This free one-page guide tells you everything you need to decide.
At a glance: form, setting, narration, length, prescribed-list status and the novel’s strongest comparative modes, plus a clear synopsis, the themes it carries, and an honest “before you teach” note on sensitive content (extended psychological and physical torture, state violence and executions, a sexual relationship and frank references to repressed desire, a threatened atrocity involving a child, and a bleak, despairing ending).
It closes with partner-agnostic notes on how the novel pairs in each comparative mode (Cultural Context, Literary Genre, Theme or Issue and General Vision & Viewpoint) so you can see at a glance whether it fits your course.
The companion Student Textbook and Teacher Guide (full exam-ready analysis and complete teaching support) are available separately from The Prescribed Shelf (upon request, if not in this store - contact us via Facebook).
