Compare the ways in which the theme of ‘Masculinity’ is presented in Pat
Barker’s novel ‘Regeneration’ and Catherine Reilly’s poetry compilation
‘Scars Upon My Heart’
...

•   Both the novel and the poetry compilation contribute factors to the
end definition in both texts and both comment on and contemplate
similar ideas;
•   The idea of the loss of masculinity
...

•   The developed acceptance and tolerance of men’s close
relationships
...

Sassoon’s description of a male soldier who loses his genitals in a

...
J
...

•   Look at the images and ideas of physical losses of man in both the
poems in detail and compare to pat Barker’s description of the
character Billy Prior
...

2nd Paragraph:
•   Link the physical interpretation to the second idea of mental image of
‘Masculinity’
...
River’s dreams in great detail and describe how they

give the overall picture of the mental influence a war has on a mans’
masculinity, also how Billy Prior makes him question his job and
existence
...
Lindsay and ‘The Nut’s Birthday’ by
Jessie Hope
...
The way the theme of ‘Masculinity’ is
also, retrospectively, presented as quite irrelevant
...
Make
references and take examples from Anderson’s breakdown,
Owens’s sexuality, Burns’ inability to eat, Yealland’s opinions
of men’s breakdowns and Graves’ weakness in not supporting
his and his friends own opinions of the war
...
Letts and ‘Prematuri’ by Margarate Postgate Cole
...

the theme of ‘Masculinity’ was in the war
