AQA A-Level: Specification
love and history
in summaries we see this issue is highlighted under the title Love, Historical Context and Historicism
love is always linked to history
when it comes to considering this text, should always be concerned with locating the text within history and how love is depicted during that particular phase
historicist approach
focus of specification is very much upon the Historical Context of the literary text, and how the text connects to the social, economic, political and religious moments of its production
type of literary text
tragedy
tragedy usually results in the death of one or more characters in the text
we not only see the tragedy of individual characters, but also the wider society imagined in the play
the play exhibits many characteristics of a typical tragedy
applying ideas
note the significance and implications off tragedy and tragic moments within the text
reading the text
think about dramatic structure and how it unfolds as the drama is performed
audience responses
structure
this is because writers spend a great deal of time considering structure as this has a major impact on the reader/audience (both in the play and individual scenes)
also prioritise the issue of structure over smaller issue of form and language
thus focus on writing on this area rather than the minituia of language and form
will gain many more marks by doing this
