    Ocr english literature a2 june 2012
    Does anyone know what the questions were that came up in January 2012 or have a copy of the paper?
    Mainly for Othello and Doctor Faustus/Pardoner's Tale?

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Othello: a) By considering the dramatic effects of the play, evaluate the view that 'Iago does not destroy Othello, he provokes Othello to destroy himself'

    b) The contrast between public and private settings is central to the dramatic effects of the play

    Section B: 5) 'Words can entice us, can compel us, can ensnare us' - discuss persuasive or seductive uses of language.

    6) 'We admire defiance and disobedience - especially in the face of the inevitable' - discuss defiance and disobedience.

    7) 'There is a fine line between heroism and foolishness' - discuss heroism.

    8) 'Because we know we must die, we live all the more intensely' - discuss living life to the full.

    9) 'Laughter is always dangerous' - discuss humour.

    10) 'Love is the most selfish of emotions' - discuss love.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!
