The hardest part of Hughes and Plaths’ poetry is finding connections as often their subject matters differ and it is a struggle, out of the vast number in Faber and Faber collection for Plath and Simon Armitage’s selection for Hughes, to find comparisons of language successfully, and to the standard of an A* response. I have composed a document of “directly linking poems” i.e. poems that pair up the best and have offered some sophisticated and perceptive starting points to aid with in depth and detailed textual analysis of language, form and structure.

Suitable for A Level and GCSE, these are sophisticated and perceptive reflections on the novel, including in-depth, detailed, concise and full mark responses to questions such as: Track Bronte’s imagery of nature, the seasons and the weather. How and why is this so significant to our understanding of the novel? Consider the similarities between Jane and Bertha (consider their natures, their close proximities in the house, Rochester’s description of them both). Why does Bronte do this? Consider the similarities and/or differences between Jane and other women in the novel. Why does Bronte include these women? What does it add to our understanding of Jane’s character? Consider the significance of setting in the novel: Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, Moor House, Ferndean. What does this add to our understanding of Jane’s journey: physical, emotional, psychological? Consider the presentation of men in the novel. How do they compare with Rochester? What does this add to our understanding of his character/Jane’s perspective of his character and the nature of their eventual marriage. Consider Bronte’s final view on marriage? What does she want the reader to consider? What does this reveal about shifting attitudes in society at the time? In what ways is Jane Eyre a reflection of Bronte herself? What does this add to her narrative for the reader? Including relevant contextual references where apt.
