No idea how to revise for english :frown:

wife of bath and tis pity quotes are hard to remember!!! do i just gather up quotes and put them under each theme, along with characters and critical quotes that i can talk about? And context of course help :frown:

Reply 504

Yeah I'd just learn different quotes for each theme so you use them for anything! I only use 1 or 2 critic views. And with context I like watching YouTube videos online about them :smile:

also bbc radio 4 have two good discussions called "Lear" and then "Machiavelli: devil or democrat?" Definitely recommend!

I'm doing Wife of Bath as well :smile:

but I'm comparing it with Sheridan's The Rivals. I think your technique sounds quite good. I actually need to start making notes I don't know where to start :O

Same, there's too much! But i might start this saturday and just go over everything that I need to know about the texts throughout easter, then just practice writing essays as timing is a issue for me! :frown:
