Why the Conceit Is Examined So Often
Captions available
The idea
A conceit is sustained, so it can be asked about in several ways: what the vehicle is, which properties transfer, where the image shifts, and what it finally claims. One passage supports four question types, which is why the metaphysical poets appear heavily in this exam's Renaissance band.
In practice
One image, four possible questions.
Where people slip
Sustained images are examiner favourites.
