A* A-Level Comparison essay ‘Hidden truths will always be revealed in the end’ A Merchant’s Tale’ by Chaucer and ‘An Ideal Husband’ by Wilde
1,600 words, 2 and a half pages typed, 5 huge paragraphs
Some of the key points:
Solid introduction
Both Chaucer and Wilde portray women as manipulative, and especially focus on how they use their sexuality to successfully deceive men, through May and Ms Cheveley
Ms Cheveley embodies the societal outsider, as she extracts joy and empowerment from stealing & manipulating
For Robert Chiltern, political corruption through hidden truths was his most accessible way to climb the socio-political ladder
Ultimately, the key difference between each text lies in who has admitted each hidden truth.
Examples of the many critic quotes and my analysis/arguments against or for their perspectives: Bruner and Ebert
