Am i the only person doing Measure for measure and comparing it with Malfi? and for the poetry doing William Blake Songs of Innocence and Experience?

I need help..I can't remember anything haha! so stressed..is A03 just critics ideas??? :frown:

Nope, A03 is critics and your own personal interpretations. I'm not sure if critics are compulsory for gaining the top marks though; perhaps it is best to put a couple in (only if they are relevant that is!)

Does anyone know many quotes we are supposed to have?

I find learning Chaucer quotes particularly strenuous, more so since he wrote before standard spelling and kept changing it throughout to suit his rhyming and meter.

Makes the examiners marking our spelling of quotes pretty ironic. :biggrin:

I'm writing all the key quotes for each theme and the ao3 and ao4 on revision cards and just testing myself on them. Hopefully it works!

I couldn't be any more nervous than I currently am...
I'm studying King Lear, Oedipus Rex and Paradise Lost Book 9.
I don't know enough quotes, I don't really know how to structure my essay and overall, I am screwed for this whole exam.
I had a B at AS and need an A to get into university...not feeing particularly confident at this moment in time :frown:

I hope you all do brilliantly, though :smile:

I'm hoping that it will be something on setting/location or power...

There is still gender, perhaps filial relationships, blindness, human intelligence, and they can also ask specific questions on characters like they have done with the fool. And i`ve noticed they always give the option for one purely based on dramatic/play devices, unluckily location has already come up, but maybe devices used to build tension etc. Those are my random guesses anyway :tongue:

Anything else and I'm royally screwed.

How can we best link with the unseen poetry? Is it just mainly with the language and themes?

Big tip for anyone! read through some examiner's reports for 'advice' they literally spell out what people do wrong and what you should do instead :smile:

Ah sweet. Blindness wouldn't be too bad. How many quotes have you learnt roughly?

I'm telling you now blindness won't come up.

Regarding, unseen poetry I think if you make two perceptive comments while comparing it to Blake. I think that's enough right? To get 5 marks

What do you think, then?

The way I've approached every Blake essay is either 2/3 poems with 3 paragraphs and a link per paragraph. They say it's the quality rather than quantity.
