The exam explores aspects of comedy in poetry and prose. Section A examines The Nun’s Priest’s Tale by Chaucer, focusing on the humor in marriage, and works like Sunny Prestatyn by Larkin and Betjeman’s Hunter Trials, analyzing the interplay of serious and humorous elements, or the depiction of frivolity in female characters. Section B addresses comedy in prose, including Austen’s Emma, Levy’s Small Island, and Carter’s Wise Children, exploring themes like the absurdity of sex, optimism amidst distressing events, and the portrayal of light-hearted characters. Tasks emphasize critical evaluation of language, structure, and thematic connections within the comedic genre.
