Wjec A Level Eng Lit Students!!

Right, is it just me or with the Faustus paper, the first choice of histroical context questions are pretty straightforward, as long as you know your stuff, but the second part comparing with other Literature, a NIGHTMARE? We did past paper, Mayor of Casterbridge one- geez! I have read a few books, eg Oscar Wilde- the picture of Dorian Gray in prep. but it is totally random, last year was a poem . I have always been good and English but I am finding this difficult.

The Chaucer paper's gonna be a bitch! How does everyone revise for english? Cos I can never actually sit down and revise!

we're doing duchess of malfi for ELit6.

wow .. ppl doing WJEC englit lit ... finally!
well we're doing milton for poetry
the wasp factory and saved (we were meant to do 1984 and the handmaid's tale as well but our teacher got morning sickness and was off for months :|) for comparative (exam not coursework)
and the Duchess of Malfi .. for synoptic .. eek!
if anyone has any past paper qs for this lot .. plz share ... xXx ~ Sabz

For synoptic Duchess of Malfi, last year I think one of the questions was a bout the subordination of women cant remember for sure though. Just basically how the Cardinal uses women for his own gains (cant remember the name of his mistress omg my memory!), and how the Duchess is under the control of her brothers. Then obviously relate it to the contetx in which it was written, so it might be useful to do some research online about the Jacobean era.

some of my A-level notes for that are on here http://revision.miss-brightside.com

Also got notes on Room with a View, Nuns Priests Tale up there.
