Either 0 1 The Nun’s Priest’s Tale – Geoffrey Chaucer Explore the significance of settings to the comedy of The Nun’s Priest’s Tale . In your answer you need to analyse closely Chaucer’s authorial methods and include comments on the extract below. [25 marks] From The Nun’s Priest’s Tale A povre widwe, somdel stape in age, Was whilom dwellinge in a narwe cotage, Biside a grove, stonding in a dale. This widwe of which I telle yow my tale, Sin thilke day that she was last a wif, In pacience ladde a ful simple lif, For litel was hire catel and hire rente. By housbondrye, of swich as God hire sente, She foond hireself, and eek hire doghtren two. Thre large sowes hadde she and namo, Thre kyn, and eek a sheep that highte Malle. Ful sooty was hire bour and eek hire halle, In which she eet ful many a sklendre meel. Of poinaunt sauce hir neded never a deel; No deintee morsel passed thurgh hir throte. Hir diete was acordant to hir cote. IB/G/Jun23/7716/2B 3 or 0 2 Poetry Anthology: Comedy Explore the significance of settings to the comedy of Poetry Anthology: Comedy .

[25 marks] From My Rival’s House My Rival’s House is peopled with many surfaces. Ormolu and gilt, slipper satin, lush velvet couches, cushions so stiff you can’t sink in. Tables polished clear enough to see distortions in. We take our shoes off at her door, shuffle stocking -soled, tiptoe – the parquet floor is beautiful and its surface must be protected. Dust cover, drawn shade, won’t let the surface colour fade. Silver sugar -tongs and silver salver, my rival serves us tea. She glosses over him and me. I am all edges, a surface, a shell and yet my rival thinks she means me well. But what squirms beneath her surface I can tell. Soon, my rival capped tooth, polished nail will fight, fight foul for her survival. Deferential, daughterly, I sip and thank her nicely for each bitter cup. Turn over for the next question Turn over ► IB/G/Jun23/7716/2B 4 or 0 3 Betjeman selection – John Betjeman Explore the significance of settings to the comedy of Betjeman’s poems. You must refer to In Westminster Abbey and at least one other poem. In your answer you need to analyse closely Betjeman’s authorial methods and include comments on the extract below. [25 marks] From In Westminster Abbey Let me take this other glove off As the vox humana swells, And the beauteous fields of Eden Bask beneath the Abbey bells. Here, where England’s statesmen lie, Listen to a lady’s cry. Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans. Spare their women for Thy Sake, And if that is not too easy We will pardon Thy Mistake. But, gracious Lord, whate’er shall be, Don’t let anyone bomb me. Keep our Empire undismembered Guide our Forces by Thy Hand, Gallant blacks from far Jamaica, Honduras and Togoland; Protect them Lord in all their fights, And, even more, protect the whites. Think of what our Nation stands for, Books from Boots’ and country lanes, Free speech, free passes, class distinction, Democracy and proper drains. Lord, put beneath Thy special care One-eighty -nine Cadogan Square. IB/G/Jun23/7716/2B
