2025 OCR A Level Classical Civilisation Paper 32 and Mark Scheme Combined (H408/32 Love and Relationships)

H408/32 is one of the optional “Beliefs and Ideas” components of the A‑Level Classical Civilisation course.
The paper explores how love, desire, relationships — especially in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds — are represented in literature, philosophy, and sometimes visual/material culture (depending on the sources).
Through H408/32, students study classical texts and ideas related to love: including erotic love, friendship, gender roles, sexual desire, marriage, societal norms, emotional expression, and how those vary across authors and contexts.
Typical authors/sources include lyric poets (e.g., Sappho), philosophers (e.g., Plato), and Roman thinkers/poets (e.g., Seneca, Ovid), among others — depending on what the syllabus and exam‑iners choose for a given year.
The broader aim: to understand not just what these texts and authors said about love and relationships — but why: how their views reflect their cultural context, and how different audiences might interpret them differently.
