WORDS

couple of ten years’” “not having to make love everytime they meet” “If they
could make me stop loving you, that would be real betrayal”
Freedom to sex and intimacy with other individuals
“But the temptation of having a hiding place that was truly their own,
indoors and near at hand” “In this room, I’m going to be a woman”
Do you feel you have more freedom now than you had in thise days?
Control
Argument: By constructing stories and limiting an individual’s capability
to identify emotions through oligarchial control can cause those in power
to control their behaviours.

Personal Impact Statements
Hal
Hal’s calculated transformation from wayward prince to heroic leader retains its contemporary impact in the way it invites scrutiny
of authenticity, power, and identity. It provokes readers to question how public image is constructed and how transformation,
whether genuine or staged, can be a powerful form of persuasion.
Falstaff
Falstaff ’s humorous irreverence continues to charm, but it also unsettles. His moral slipperiness and refusal to conform provoke
ongoing reflection about the place of laughter, vice, and resistance in a world increasingly preoccupied with rules and image
Hotspur
Hotspur’s tragic arc continues to speak to modern audiences through its portrayal of emotional excess and the destructive pursuit
of an idealised honour. His refusal to compromise offers a powerful, if troubling, vision of integrity taken to an unsustainable
extreme.

IDEAS + EXAMPLES
ideas:
Explore new horizons/cultural contexts
Exploring Satan’s downfall in a more Islamic lens from Paradise Lost
Using quotes from Paradise Lost to mock how he ultimately controls other people into
making texts about him
Entering the world of the human by reading these ultimately human texts ⟶ thinking he
was the best and ultimately understanding how the human understands things
Private, public and imaginary worlds + Points of View
An individual going onto a train and this train makes him reminsice about a lot of
thoughts
Islamic point of view and comparing their life to the stimulus, both private, public and
imaginary worlds, someone reading this and annotating it for the public but realising
their own private world influences their reading
Using theological terminology
How language features and form are made
Self reflexivity of how this is written and delving into different literary movements to
understand what to write about and how to construct her piece. She wants to make a
piece about a character that has lived during war-stricken times and how trying to make
this character acted as a form of escapism
