This is a model essay written in response to the question “How is Godfrey presented in the opening”. This could easily be adapted into an extract question, however, for now it focuses on the prologue.

This is one of few Crumbs resources currently available, and I will begin to share more as the year goes on. Please do get in touch and if you are also teaching Crumbs and would like to collaborate.

Please note this is a purposefully overly critical response to Godfrey’s portrayal designed to get students to think about whether they agree or disagree, but should function as a good model for how to write about the play.

Now added is a Youtube video on how to write an analysis of Crumbs. It’s a little rough around the edges.
