Revise Power and Conflict poems by pairing 40 sets of quotations to make discriminating comparisons

On the worksheet I made 40 pairs of quotations from the Power and Conflict poems. There is an even spread of key quotes from across the 18 poems.

To revise making discriminating links, students need to explain how the 2 quotations present ideas about power and conflict in a similar and different way.

Example of how to turn the pairs of quotations into a comparison:
Both Ozymandias and My Last Duchess portray characters with the power to issue commands to explore the corrosive nature of power. In Ozymandias the ‘sneer of cold command’ suggests the statue has a cruel condescending attitude to his subjects. However, in ‘My Last Duchess’ the speaker ‘gave commands’ to arrange for the execution of his wife to reflect his controlling nature.
