Literature-In-English Paper 3 WASSCE (PC 2ND), 2020

Question 11

    Examine the use of tactile and visual images in “Shall I Compare thee to a Summer’s Day?”

    Most candidates were able to do these as the question was a popular one.  Some, however, only gave a summary of the poem.


Observation

 

This question demands that candidates:

  • Explicate visual and tactile images in the poem
  • Relate the theme to the extolling of the beauty of the persona's object of adoration.

 

Candidates’ performance in the question was good.
