I’m so worried because I don’t think I included any productions of the Duchess of Malfi within the comparisons however I did mention the actors that played the duchess does that count?? It’s stressing me out

You don't need performance history for this question...

Someone must have been feeling very cruel when they wrote that because why was it not even a debate.

I'm done, Hamlet part b was the worst question I've ever done
None of the practice questions are like that
I'd be happy to even get 7 on that question

i did Wilde and Milton's Paradise Lost for this, but I'm scared I wrote about non-conformity to gender roles rather than the actual presentation of gender

the question was about conformity to gender roles not gender itself so you’re fine

honestly i saw deception and thought it would be ok, I was even defending Angelo at one point I have no idea where I was going with that. I did paradise lost and an ideal husband and messed up gender so badly cause I do women in lit for paper 2 and thought I could do it but didn't talk about men once or the actual presentation of gender, just the women not conforming to gender roles...i think I'm cooked

the quote was gender roles but the question underneath was to explore the presentation of gender...so idk

Let's just say I'm not meeting my offer because of this paper. Awful hamlet part B question. I didn't finish a single question. My argument to part b was repetitive and lacked clarity and depth. could have improved overall expression. i regret ever picking english literature AHHH

Have they ever phrased part b to a specific part of the play? I’ve never see that before until today

Hopefully it just gave u a range of arguments and they are all good characters to talk about. Praying my gender was ok
