Comment

AO1: Detailed examination of Gothic and Romantic features employing critical terminology and moving between an overview and detail, with a clear understanding of how the different genres interlink.

AO2: Tightly focused on the title – a fully developed consideration of how language and structure have both been influenced by genre, with a conclusion that shows understanding that there are other factors that have influenced the novel’s construction.

AO3: Provides compelling evidence of the influences of other texts on 'Jane Eyre'. References to Frye and modern feminist readings are judicious and apposite and provide alternative/further critical readings.

AO4: Understanding of contextualised language and structure, and examines novel in social context.
