 Essay Sentence Starter Examples:
1. Question: ‘A tragic hero is a great or virtuous character’. To what extent do you agree with this view in relation to two
texts?
 In ‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles’, Hardy presents Tess with immense greatness and virtue when she demonstrates the
lengths she would go to, in order to provide from her family and please her parents.
× However, critics may view Tess as a naive character symbolising a lack of understanding which ultimately outweighs
any greatness or virtue she is presented with.
 In ‘Death of a Salesman’, Willy Loman can be viewed as a great character when taking into consideration his main
motivation in life; to improve the quality of life for his family and help both his sons become successful.
× Contrastingly through, other critics may argue Miller creates Willy to be a character exerting great hubris which
contradicts him being viewed as a vitreous character.

2. Question: ‘Tragedies cause suffering and evokes pity and fear in the audience/readers’. To what extent do you agree with
this view in relation to two texts?
Introduction:
Throughout TOTD, Hardy evidently exaggerates the suffering Tess endures to evoke pity and fear in the reader. Hardy
accomplishes this through emphasising her vulnerability and subservience towards Alec, her antagonist but also through
showing that her fate is predestined by her noble ancestry and how this leads to her tragic end. Miller also attempts to
evoke pathos in the audience in DOAS, although less prominently. Willy Loman is perhaps responsible for his own downfall
