An occasional blog concerned with the world of English Language and Literature. Featuring insights from examiners and past students as well as encouraging and inspiring everyone to pick up a book and get lost in a new world.
There’s something about a Renaissance man with a God complex that just won’t die. Whether he’s summoning devils (Doctor Faustus), murdering kings (Macbeth), or designing a theocracy under the guise of morality (The Handmaid’s Tale’s Commander), you can practically hear the self-belief whirring. The centuries change, the tights become trousers, but the hubris? Eternal.
In a world where the news reads like a rejected Black Mirror script, it’s no wonder dystopian fiction is having a moment.Â
