Year of Wonders, Michael Mompellion

Hey everyone,

Lots of people are predicting a Michael Mompellion question this year. I've racked the internet and only found these essay questions:
1.   Michael Mompellion tells Anna that he was “most shockingly wrong, in what I asked of this village”. Do you agree?
2.   ‘In what I asked of Elinor. In what I asked of myself. In what I asked of this village.’ Is Mompellion to blame for the tragic events that take place in Eyam during the plague year?
3.   ‘In Michael Mompellion, we see how a life ‘based upon a lie’ can destroy a man.’ Discuss.
4.   ‘Michael Mompellion’s powerful need for control is behind many of his actions.’ Do you agree?
5.   ‘The person Michael Mompellion hurts most is himself.’ Discuss.

Does anyone have any others I can practice?

Hi there,

This is the only one I have on my list that you haven't already got.

"The decision made by Mompellion to isolate the village in year of Wonders is motivated by his own selfish reasons". Discuss!

If i find any others I will let you know ASAP.

Good luck with it!

They won't set an exclusively Michael Mompellion prompt. He's an accessory character.

They might ask a prompt that asks you to elucidate certain aspects of misogyny in YoW which I think would be far more interesting and applicable, because not all students would discuss Mompellion on such terms.
