I have headr many people saying that they think a themes question will come up for macbeth and they think either
Ambition
Kingship
Supernatural
Predictions i have heard for characters
Witches
Macbeth

This is what i have seen others saying and what my teacher thinks, but of course it could be on anything 😭

For poetry anthology, it helps that they cant put on the same poem twice as the given poem, so we can predict a bit better, i have heard these
Death of a Naturalist/Prelude
Hawk Roosting(given)/ Ozymandias
Valentine/Cosy

My teacher seems to be leaning towards Valentine/Cosy and Death of a Naturalist/Prelude but it could also be war poetry, unlikely as it has come up three times before but possible, To Autumn/As Imperceptibly as Grief, She Walks in Beauty or anything else that has not come up before as the given poem. Good Luck!!:smile:

Do u think they can repeat themes in Macbeth? I think for WJEC eduqas they've already done supernatural in 2021, so Im thinking its going to be ambition, power, kingship or femininity/masculinity. hoping for ambition though!!

I think they definitely could, look how many times scrooge has come up in ACC in a row, and Macbeth has been on multiple times in the past, i know these are characters but it is a similar idea, also they could reuse a theme but ask it in a different way if you know what i mean
