1. What is the Purpose of Module B?
Module B, Critical Study of Literature, isn’t about memorising quotes or listing techniques. It’s about developing your independent, critical interpretation of a text.
That means:
- You need to evaluate how and why Eliot crafts meaning.
- You should engage with authorial purpose, not just description.
- Your writing should sound like a conversation between you and Eliot.
