OCR A Level Classical Civilisation Paper 2 (H408/21-24) - 20th May 2024 [Exam Chat]

What did you think about the exam,,?

What did you include for the 30 marker for theatre. I found it difficult

Meant 20 marker

I swear the question was that comedy is more enjoyable for a modern audience

Pretty decent I’d say , I mean the pot was the main thing that threw me off a bit but managed to say enough id say

right like.. it was so vague by what they meant by reclining??

can anyone else who did greek theatre remember what the short answer questions were for the Oedipus extract I know one was Jocasta's first husband but I've literally blanked the other one out lol

name 2 people on the kylix, what’s the maenad holding on the inside, who is the woman in the extract, who was her first husband

know it was a while ago but does anyone remember the frogs 30 marker?!

Greek theatre kiddos!
PAPER WAS AMAZING OMG!!! Redemption arc for paper 1 frfr.
Pentheus vase CHEFS KISS! 10 mark i said quite useful for plot eg pentheus death at hands of maenad, costumes etc but limited for staging - messenger reported his death, no sense of theatron or orchestra where chorus performed, bacchants were more wild with loose hair in play etc
. Messenger speeches 20 mark i had revised so gorgeousss i said bacchae> oedipus for themes (madness + religion) and characterising pentheus as a tragic hero then oedipus for plot eg tells oedipus his father is dead, who his father rlly is, shepherd and swollen foot name meaning etc
30 markers SEXY - did tragedy>comedy 30 marker enjoyable for audience - said tragedy as main due to being enjoyable for all audiences (modern and ancient) eg tragic heroism vs tyrant, religion theme, chorus emotional impact etc then disagreed with comedy for humour for ancient audience + moral messages in parabasis but overall comedy more contextual whereas tragedy enjoyable for all time periods.
10mark passage beautiful simile ‘like a maddened beast’, pathos, tragic irony, situation of incest, miasma with oedipus polluting polis and oikos ahhh LOVED THE PAPER
Lets go paper 3 !!! (Politics)

Do you happen to remember frogs 30 marker? I've asked like 3 times sorry everyone- I'm currently revising for mocks and would like to know past papers 😭
