    HI, does anyone have any quotes relating to the theme of love, in either Chaucer's A Miller's Tale, Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby or Miller's View from the Bridge. There the ones i have studied in most depth, but can't seem to find any significant quotations.

    These texts are the ones i will almost certainly use in my wider reading references. The poetry I will use will probably be Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, an easy and short poem which you can talk about loads. I feel that whatever the unseen texts are on, I will still be able to use these texts to refer, as the exam is partly based on comparison.

    How are you all structuring your exam essays? (especially regarding section 2)
    Also, does anyone know a good website/book to get information from on context of different periods?

    Cheers

    Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to whether Q1 will be poetry/prose/drama. I'm thinking prose!

    Was just wondering if anyone had some tips on how to fulfil the context criteria effectively? I'm generally okay on ao1, ao2 and ao3 but I always seem to fall down on the context. Do the examiners just want you to connect attitudes at the time etc to the text, and discuss how they influence the overall effect of the literature?
