Class Preparation
It is vital
- now that you have completed your first reading of the novel - that you follow
this up with a second more in depth and informed reading. Here are five new
questions that you must use in preparation for each lesson.
You must
prepare for each lesson by rereading the relevant chapters to be covered in the
lesson. You must also consider some – the most relevant - of the following
questions.
·
How
does the setting contribute to your appreciation of the novel?
·
In
what way is the social, political and biographical context of the novel being
addressed?
·
How
do these chapters fit into the novel as a whole?
·
How
are the main characters of the novel constructed?
·
What
do you notice about the writing style used throughout the novel?
·
What
different strategies does Bronte use to create her narrator?
·
What
does your prepared reading tell you about these key themes; love, independence,
roles of women, roles of men, social class and religion?
·
How
is morality discussed throughout the novel? Consider human rights, slavery,
adultery?
·
What
are the conventions of the genre of romantic novel?
