Beginnings exam: general, comparisons, themes
Nature and science: landscapes, what's non-human
Frankenstein and RotL: Pope wrote an epitaph for Newton. 'God said "let Newton be" and there was light".
Do scientific endeavours make nature less sublime to us, more just something to analyse and understand? Sublimity is all about admiring but not understanding.
Human nature
In Paradise Lost, Satan's hatred is again and again shown to be unnatural when he observes heavenly things.
-
Alienation
Could argue that Satan's evil is the cause of his alienation, even though it is fully his fault ? Bit sparse cause he's not at all alienated from the other fallen angels, but jealousy deeefinitely affects him.
Pandemonium is like a government, more so than seems to be represented in Heaven, and Milton was a propagandist for parliament.
On the module website, there's a list of what examiners are looking for.

Monstrosity/beauty
In Paradise Lost, humanness often means corruption, eg the fall and fallen angels becoming more material. But in other texts, animosity is corruption.

-
Romance
In the Lais, love relationships are all homogenous
Gender, masculinity vs femininity, constructs, power

Narrative structure, endings, tradition of storytelling
There's immense detail in Rape of the Lock, with diversions etc, eg the amount of time/number of lines between the lock being cut and Belinda's screams.
-
Time, repetition
Marie explicitly places her stories in their history within the narrative, Breton lays.
