2018 gcse poetry macbeth inspector calls prediction

Just for discussion I wanted to know others predictions on this years exams.
-- Inspector calls i think the theme will be gender inequality
-- Macbeth i have a feeling it is going to one of lady Macbeth soliloquies or when she goes crazy or something
-- Poetry i think its gonna be something like London or tissue (power of man)

idk these are just my guesses

Inspector calls - difference with class inequality

Macbeth - lady Macbeth soliloquy

Poetry - maybe exposure (power of nature)

I took in consideration that next year is the 100th anniversary on females rights or something like that. so i really do this inequality of gender or how lady Macbeth dominates Macbeth is going to be one of the Qs. Given that it was bayonet charge last year i think its unlikely to be exposure, although it presents power of nature it has the theme of war in it. But i can see why you would think that.

Don't think it will be Lady Macbeth as there was a specimen question on her if I recall correctly. I think it will be guilt or the supernatural. As for AIC I think the theme will be responsibility and the character Eric or Gerald. I think the poem will be Storm on The Island, Ozymandias or London as I don't think they're gonna put one of the really challenging ones like Tissue on the exam yet since it's only the second year of new spec, but I don't think they'll do a war poem two years in a row.
Yh i think it will be a theme for Inspector calls and macbeth i think Banquo or Macduff.
Poetry I think it will be tissue

Hi there :wavey:
I've moved your thread to the English exams and study help forum where hopefully you'll get more answers :smile: In future, it's best to select the subject from the list here and create a thread in there instead :yep: If you want to see where threads belong, check out this thread :smile:
I think for An inspector calls its either Eva Smith or Gerald (for the character) and for theme maybe gender.
I prefer the theme question than character.
i hope you prepared!

well!

Yeah I did a supernatural essay and I had one paragraph on Banquo so that helped a bit. Did you do the exam too? If you did, how did you find it?

I don't do inspector calls although it seems so good. I do DNA and that was okay. How was your poetry question? Did you do power and conflict?
