[edit] Short Answer

Be prepared to do close reading of brief passages.

Example:

1) Briefly discuss the following passage:

Amongst them all she placed him most low,
And in his hand a distaffe to him gaue,
That he thereon should spin both flax and tow;
A sordid office for a mind so braue.
So hard it is to be a womans slaue,
Yet he it tooke in his owne selfes despight,
And thereto did himselfe right well behaue,
Her to obay, sith he his faith had plight,
Her vassal to become, if she him wonne in fight.
