Key words and their meanings (glossary)

Use the handout I’ve created for section 1 (pages 1-10) to help you. I also have various print offs of study guides and resources available for you to use, but these must be adapted, not copied!

3. Key Themes The past as a different world to the present
The significance and meaning of the ending
Tragedy and despair vs hope (especially at the end of the novel)
‘Goodness’ and evil: the ethical nature of the individual (what is good in this landscape?)
The setting of the novel and its importance (setting = time and place)
