This 20-slide PowerPoint explores Philip Larkin’s ‘Coming’.
Students are given numerous questions to help them analyse the poem line by line, along with interrogations of the poem’s form, structure, rhythm and rhyme.
Ideas about Larkin’s Romantic influence are also considered, as are his uses of symbolism in the poem. We also consider complexities of the poem’s tone and the significance of its title. Key vocabulary is provided to help students be precise in their analysis of the poem.
Critical thinking questions are included at the end to facilitate high-level analysis, thinking about important tensions in the poem.
This resource is ideal for those studying Larkin as part of the Pearson/Edexcel A level, or for more general analysis of the poem.
Two files are included here: a PDF copy and editable PowerPoint.
