through the ages: Exemplar student response (AS Paper 1, Section B)   \nThis resource is an exemplar student response to a Section B question in the specimen assessment materials for AS Paper 1.  \nPaper 1 , Section B, Band 4  \nSample question  \nExamine the view that Richard Lovelace presents the speaker in this poem as having a selfish attitude to love.  \nSample response  \nThe poem ‘The Scrutiny’ by Richard Lovelace presents the idea that some men believe that they should have the chance to ‘explore’ with many other women before settling down. The poem takes on a sarcastic and ironic tone, as it is a cavalier poem and is supposed to be easier to relate to. This tone suggests that Lovelace believes those who have this attitude are selfish and that this is the incorrect attitude to have to love.  \nIn the first line of the poem,“Why should you swear I am forsworn”, it is clear that Lovelace is trying to portray the speaker as feeling as though they are superior to their love. The word ‘forsworn’ suggests that the speaker believes that they should be allowed to act as they please and therefore their actions are not sins or unacceptable. This rhetorical tone, which is carried on to the lines“since thine I vowed to be? Lady, it is already morn”, suggests a lack of respect for the woman, as the speaker is clearly being sarcastic and is therefore mocking in response to her. The tone is present in the entire stanza, which last lines consist of “and ‘twas last night I swore to thee that fond impossibility” where Lovelace has exaggerated a small amount of time to represent the speaker’s selfish ideas as they believe they should not have to prove their love, if they’ve already “swore to thee”. The sarcastic tone implies a lack of respect or care for the listener, whom has clearly declared their love and also worry for the speaker and his selfish attitudes.  \nThe second stanza continues this sarcastic tone as the speaker talks of loving the listener “much and long”, as if the act is tiresome and a chore. The selfishness of the speaker is presented here as they are only thinking of themselves, and the effort it is to show someone you care, instead of thinking about how his partner feels. The reference to a “tedious twelve hours space” represents the listener’s  \nimpatience with the speaker, as the speaker believes that he should not have to continually declare his feelings.  \nLovelace uses the aspect of arrogance in selfishness to reinforce the theme of the poem. The speaker talks of how he would be doing “all other beauties wrong” if he were to stay with the same person. This shows how the speaker only thinks of himself and the way that he would be perceived to other women. It also shows the high opinion of himself that he upholds, as he thinks it would be worse to deprive other women of him instead of caring for one woman only.  \nThroughout the poem, the speaker objectifies women and refers to them in ways that would suggest sexist ideas. Lovelace presents the speaker as only caring about the outside appearance of his lovers, “I must search for the black and fair”, proving that he does not actually care for them or care about their personality. Lovelace then goes on to describe the women as “treasure” and“spoils” as if the women are there to be discovered by him and that they play no other role in life. These nouns also imply that the speaker, again, only cares about the outward appearance of the women that he is involved with, as the word “treasure” has connotations of beauty and high worth when it comes to its appearance. The word “spoils” suggests that love is just a game for the speaker, and that the women he is involved with are merely objects to show his success in his conquests, and it doesn’t matter who they are as long as they prove his point.  \nThe idea that Lovelace is portraying the speaker as seeing love as a game is reinforced by the first line of the last stanza, which reads “When I have loved my round”, where the abstr","cbCaiisw5jqMtROy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiisw5jqMtROy","pdf",100605,"English","# Sample question\n## Sample response","[{\"question\":\"What is the sample question about Richard Lovelace’s poem?\",\"answer\":\"The response is based on the question examining the view that Richard Lovelace presents the speaker as having a selfish attitude to love.\"},{\"question\":\"What tone does the response identify in “The Scrutiny”?\",\"answer\":\"The response highlights a sarcastic and ironic tone, describing the poem as cavalier and implying the speaker lacks respect and care for the listener.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the response support the idea that the speaker objectifies women?\",\"answer\":\"It points to language describing women as “treasure” and “spoils,” and to references like “I must search for the black and fair,” arguing the speaker focuses on outward appearance and treats women as objects in a game.\"}]","Love through the ages - Exemplar student response - AS Paper 1, Section B | PDF",1792467791]
