hey guys,
Can you please check over this intro for the question below, and tell me any points of improvement.
To what extent do the texts you have studied reveal both the emotional and intellectual responses provoked by the experience of discovering?
It is to a significant extent the texts that I have studied reveal both the emotional responses provoked through the experience of discovering. However, it is to no extent that an intellectual response is provoked. This is evident within Shakespeare’s 17th century play The Tempest and William Ernest Henley’s 19th century poem Invictus. It is through the characterisation of Prospero and his epiphany of virtue rather than vengeance an emotional response is provoked. Similarly, with the discovery of Ferdinand, Miranda reveals an emotional response. Finally, it is through the discovery of ‘tuberculosis’ the speaker, in ‘Invictus’, an emotional response is revealed. Ultimately, it is through the experience of discovery, these characters reveal an emotional response.
