Preparation for Monday's Lesson
You need to complete this work for Monday's lesson. I'm aware that some students have exam on during this period, but you need to ensure you manage you time effectively so you can fit in this work. It should take you no longer than 1 hour (leaving 2 hours for the essay task further below):
1. How does Act 5 work structurally? Track the elements and draw a diagram.
2. If Act 5 is particularly important in the understanding of Bosola's psyche, how does Webster explore this?
3. Why does Bosola take such pleasure (is it the same pleasure we see in Act 4 with the D?) in (planning - does it go to plan?) and enacting the brothers' death?
4. Who takes centre stage in Act 5
Essay take in review of Act 4:
'Psychological disintergration is often the central horro of Renaissance tragedy'. With particular reference to Act 4, how far do you think this statement is true in relation to the Duchess of Malfi as a play. (not just her, Ferdinand and Bosola).
Mr. D
- if you have any troubles please see me in person and in advance of the deadlines - don't send me an email telling me that you haven't done the work, come and work out/negotiate a strategy to get it done.

Royal Wedding long weekend
Whilst you're enjoying the pleasure of another (mini) holiday, can i remind you of a few details:
1. Tuesday morning's lessons start at 8:00am - we'll be doing two hours on The D of M.
2. On Tuesday, your essay comparing the two Aubades, The Sun Rising and The Good Morrow is due in full. This is the essay that you started in time conditions in lesson, had feedback on and have had three weeks to complete.
3. You should also be working on your Sonnet (Daisy you didn't stay to collect one from me - choose one of the ones in your annotations book to work on). Your full analysis will be due in the following Monday.
4. You should also have finished reading the excerpt on Plutonic Love, the two introductions on Revenge Tragedies.
5. If you missed the lesson on the Canonisation, you need to ensure you've listened to the podcast/mp3 file and have finished your annotations.
6. All your annotations, for the poems we have covered should be finished in detail too.

WORRYINGLY, I still have coursework outstanding. If it is not submitted (appropriately, to length and with references) by Tuesday morning it will not be marked for submission for your F663 component for the exam board and you'll loose 40% of you overall A Level Grade.
