Decoding Ambiguity

Worksheet Description

In this Grade 11 Reading Literature Comprehension worksheet, students delve into the concept of ambiguity in E.M. Forster’s novel, “A Room With A View.” They are introduced to the idea that authors often intentionally employ ambiguity to enhance the depth of a literary work.

The worksheet challenges students to identify several passages within the novel that contain elements of uncertainty or ambiguity. For each selected passage, students are required to explain why it is considered ambiguous and what purpose this ambiguity serves in the narrative. This exercise encourages critical thinking and literary analysis skills while fostering an understanding of the deliberate use of uncertainty in literature.
