ASSESS . . .

— Select one example of ‘that Violet’ and read the context in which it is used (look at the paragraph in which it occurs). What is the phrase being used to imply here? How does it distance the reader from the action being narrated?

— How does the use of italics here affect your attitude to Violet – does it alter your perception of her? If so, give detailed answers showing how it influences your understanding of Violet.

COMBINE . . .

— Use your analysis of a particular paragraph and compare it with other people’s responses. You may have chosen the same instance – if so, how do your readings differ? If you have chosen different examples, are there parallels in your analysis? What ideas link or separate your readings?

— Look both backwards and forwards in the novel for other examples of italicisation. Do these instances work in the same way as the decision to highlight ‘that Violet’?
