Literature-In-English Paper 3 WASSCE (PC 2ND), 2022

Question 6                   JOHN OSBORNE: Look Back in Anger
What impression do you form of the middle class in the play?

Observation

 

This was a popular question. However, candidates that attempted this question failed to mention the reason behind the strained relationship between Walter and Ruth and the consequent result or effect on the entire family.

  • Identifying/Establishing the relationship between Ruth and Walter.
  • The effect of their living condition on their relationship.
  • The strains and joys in their relationship.
  • Their attempt to love, as Ruth tries to do her duty towards her family while Walter plays the blame game.
  • Both eventually realising the need to improve their marital relationship.

 

Candidates’ performance was fair.
