How many quotes? Eng Lit GCSE

Hello, i was just wondering how many quotes i should learn for each character. i am in the process of making mind maps for the characters and themes, but im not sure on the amount of quotes i should learn. How many are you/ did you learn for the exam?

Hi

I did my GCSEs last year (my brother is doing them this year) and it's not necessarily about the number you remember, as you will undoubtedly forget a few before the exam starts. I'd say try to pick quotes that can be used in more than one scenario (i.e. that aren't linked to specific events but can be interpreted in different ways), that way, you don't have to remember as many but you have enough to cover yourself regardless of the question.

I suppose if you want a guide to work off, maybe 4 per character is enough, provided they can fit in easily to your writing

Hope this helps and good luck with your GCSEs - plus, you can PM me if you need any help

ill try and find quotes which match a theme and character. thank you for your help.

I try to learn around 5 per character depending on if they are a main character or a minor one which has worked well for my mock exams so far. Try to pick quotes which are good for themes as well as characters so you can learn less quotes but have good quality ones

Which quotes did you memorise for each novel/play?

What novels and plays are you studying?

Macbeth, Lord of the Flies and Frankenstein

Here are the main quotes I learned for Macbeth and Lord of the Flies - I don't think I learnt many more than these ones as I had to learn loads of other ones for poetry so didn't want to overload myself. I hope these can help you a bit in your revision

The website called 'Memrise' is excellent. Fast, reliable, efficient. I learned all my quotes through it, way better than repeatedly writing them out.
