A Level English Literature Edexcel Exam Predictions 2019

Hi! (sorry if this is a bit late)
I've been trying to guess the questions by looking at past paper questions for different texts. So for Streetcar I was thinking it could be one of these:

Romantic relationships
Women
Masculinity
Madness
Symbolism
Dialogue/conversation
Sense of futility
Conflicted loyalties
Identity
Social status/reputation
Survival
Loneliness
Rising tension
Two worlds colliding
Suffering
Morality


And here are some I found for The Handmaid's Tale and Frankenstein:

Dialogue
Anxiety
Violence
Good and evil
Social divisions
Love
Power
Injustice
Societies undergoing change
Dark side of humanity
Forms of oppression
Effects of isolation

I guess that quite a lot...but they definitely reuse questions so its worth having a look. I'm also doing Othello and Christina Rossetti poems btw.

Good luck with revision!

oh wow that's really useful, thanks so much
Im trying to make essay plans for important themes so I can just memorise those when I write essays

I do Hamlet and Victorian Verse for poetry

Also, I found a really useful critical essay for Frankenstein:

It's kind of long but it links to Handmaid's Tale quite well...

awww, that's really sweet of you, thanks so much for the help!

What do you think is the hardest literature exam?

gender and motif for streetcar. Any suggestions for Hamlet?

I do Streetcar, Antony and Cleopatra, Frankenstein & The Handmaid's Tale, Rossetti and Poem's of the decade.

I reckon for Prose it will be something to do with gender, as they haven't brought up gender as far as I am aware. So, it could be something like 'the connection between gender and knowledge' or 'the role of gender in good and evil'. That would be my prediction.

There was a question about 'gender in the misuse of science' recently, but I can't remember which year

Any suggestions for the Othello question?

Seriously hoping something about comedy/tragic hero for Othello.
And the character of Mitch for Streetcar.

omg the character literally better be Mitch, my teacher thought that too
for Othello we were thinking Emilia or Racial Prejudice

does anyone know what the streetcar named desire questions were for the AS edexcel paper ? because they tend to ask similar questions in AS and A2 papers
