Text A, B and C all share the same theme of family/parents. Text A is a spoken transcript, which appears to be a speech or presentation, used to inform the audience listening in the text. However, text B is a written novel used to entertain a female audience interested in romance. Text C, on the other hand, is an autobiographical novel used to inform or entertain fans of Laurie Lee.

Text B uses a lexical field surrounding different cultures, such as “my mother was from the mainland. That makes me only half an islander”. This explains Madeline’s cultured roots and adds an ambiguous element to her family, which reinforces the purpose to entertain the audience. This is similarly seen in text A as “ma mum’s family were originally from Lancashire” and “my dad is originally from Jamaica”. The use of proper nouns, such as “Lancashire” and “Jamaica”, establish the characters cultured family roots, which also adds ambiguity and interest into the informative purpose towards the audience.

Additionally, text B uses a lexical field surrounding romance as she was “a romantic who fell out of love with Le Devlin almost as quickly as she did with my father‘s bleak good looks”. This ironic statement masculinises Madeline’s Mother and feminises the male character in the text, which is seen as “my father favoured romantic names”.

Describe the ways in which Heaney and Swift explore the theme of The Role of Women

The significant theme of female roles is portrayed through Heaney’s work, specifically focusing on poems such as ‘Undine’ and ‘Bog Queen’. This is also an evident theme in Graham Swifts ‘Waterland’. Swifts approach to the role of women portrays them to be the underclass of society and puts them in a particularly nuclear role, whereas Heaney voices the women in his poems, giving them a sense of power.

Each of the texts propose the idea of empowerment through the sexuality of women, which is seen in Heaney’s ‘Undine’. Undine refers to the idea of water nymphs, which in Greek mythology is used to describe Goddess’ of nature. Mythological nymphs are commonly seen to be outside of male control due to their sexual nature. This power through sexuality is portrayed in Undine as Heaney uses a semantic field referring to sexuality in the water, which is seen through the lexis “I swallowed his trench”. This innuendo associates itself with the sexuality of women, giving them a powerful voice and control over men. Personification is used whilst Heaney is letting the water explain the narrative, which is seen as “he explored me so completely”. Use of the word “explore” personifies the water spirit, giving it a sense of something to discover. This reinforces the idea of female empowerment as the water spirit holds a mystery over the male character which he has to find. However, Undine could be interpreted differently as Heaney describes the nymph as losing “its cold freedom”. The use of the lexis “freedom” suggests something that has been trapped previously. Additionally, binary opposites are used as she describes her freedom as “cold”, suggesting that it may be an unwanted or negative freedom from something she did not want to be released from. Therefore, this subverts the idea of female authority. Furthermore, the use of personal pronouns in the text suggest an obsession with the male character, giving him power. Commands such as “he dug a spade deep in my flank” suggest that the water spirit is being used or taken control over by the man. This is also an issue in Swifts “Holes and Things”, where Mary is described by male view point, giving him full control over how she is portrayed.
