Still having trouble with your essay plan?

Consider the following things:

What do we mean by ‘settings’? Some suggestions from our lessons were:
  • The era (Elizabethan and Victorian e.g. who has power)
  • The houses (Capulet’s mansion; Satis House)
  • The rooms (the street; Capulet’s room; Juliet’s room; Juliet’s tomb)
How do these different settings influence Capulet and Miss Havisham in how they treat others? You could think about:
  • Why both characters treat their daughters as possessions
  • What each of them think about relationships and love
  • Whether either of them ‘learn’ anything from what they have done
Remember that EVERY paragraph must have a quotation as EVIDENCE and you must analyse the language in the EXPLANATION (say how the words or language technique suggests something about the characters.

PEEC PARAGRAPHS:

  • POINT
  • EVIDENCE
  • EXPLANATION
  • CONTEXT
