We study Aspects of Comedy, Elements of Crime Writing, as well as theory and independence. In Aspects of Comedy, All texts contain a love interest for the protagonist and marriage is a focal point. In all cases society itself (as represented in the texts), and the behaviour of men and women in it, are ridiculed. We examine a variety of elements such as; the significance of human folly, trickery and gullibility. In Elements of Crime Writing, all set texts focus on transgressions against established order and the specific breaking of either national, social, religious or moral laws. We examine a variety of elements such as; the type of the crime text itself, whether it is detective fiction, a postmodern novel, a revenge tragedy, an account of a life lost to crime. Theory and independence is designed to allow students to read widely, to choose their own texts (if appropriate) and to apply to different theoretical and critical methods can be applied to the subject. We examine theories such as; narrative, feminist, Marxist, eco-critical, post-colonial, as well as the canon.
