Speeches would be a good guess I think as nothing to do with spoken language has come up in a while I don't think

I can see desire coming up, I don't think it'll be something to do with Gender cause they have done variations of that loads but my teacher made a question about isolation because they haven't used an extract from scene 1 yet and it was quite a good question, but really not sure, but the extract i think could be from scene 1
