Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explore how Hardy uses imagery to present a foreboding interaction during the breakdown of the relationship.

Show transcript
Hardy uses colour imagery to create a bleak and barren emotional landscape. Hardy uses an oxymoron to convey the hostile and hopeless nature of the relationship. Hardy uses personification to suggest how he feels misled by love. Hardy uses ominous imagery to show how the relationship was ill-fated. Analytical paragraphs should consider a writer’s meaning, use of language and purpose.
