The exam explores aspects of comedy in poetry and prose. Section A analyzes texts like Chaucer’s The Nun’s Priest’s Tale, Swift’s A Satirical Elegy, and Betjeman’s The Licorice Fields at Pontefract, examining themes of folly, satire, and the weakness of characters driven by desires. Section B evaluates comedic elements in prose, including misunderstandings in Austen’s Emma, optimism in the resolution of Levy’s Small Island, and the depiction of men as ridiculous figures in Carter’s Wise Children. Tasks emphasize critical evaluation of language, structure, and thematic connections, requiring nuanced interpretation within the comedic genre.
