Three texts to deal with in the essay section. Equiano, mansfield park and rime of ancient mariner, and one is equiano and. Within those, there will be a third text. Each question deals with a larger theme or critical concern. Bertrum kids and their lack of morality contrasted with fanny. Gender- roles (extension of which each character models/exemplifies moral/immoral behaviour). Disease and dying (yellow fever conflated with moral retribution). Talk about it in relation to british identity- be argumentative, relate it back to the whole question. (morality in relation to british identity). Mansfield park: the play/theatricals, bertrum kids" education taught them to perform their identities, not to reason. The rover: space of restoration theater- backed up with discussion of the text as well. Performance of sexuality and the gendered performance and libertenian behaviour, masks. School for scandal: between surface identity and reality- newspapers, performance, and behaviour. Mask of anarchy: relation and performance aesthetic and power.
