Any predictions for Othello and Atonement?

I don't do Atonement so idk if you're comparing the two, I just do Othello by itself. But from past questions I think it could be presentation of women or loyalty (presentation of women has never came up and loyalty was 2021 where no one really sat it and they reused the 2020 question last year)

I think it'd be women too, praying for desdemona and emilia, but I keep thinking they could ask about bianca or cassio too and I'd ball my eyes out if that's true. I'm pretty sure loyalty was 2023 aswell, about othello and iagos bond being stronger than othello and desdemonas

anyone who's doing gatsby and pre 1900s anthology, are you revising the whole anthology or only a few poems?

I always no matter what the question is use whoso list to hount because I just think its the easiest one and beyond that I know maybe 3 or 4 more of the poems in depth but loads of them are so similar (like the cavalier and metaphysical ones) and some of them I've never ever used like the Cynara one and at an inn

any ideas for streetcar and any more for othello? also any advice on remebering critical quotes for othello?

Anyone know what came up on the 24 paper? i feel like it has to be about women if they haven't done it ever

I think with Othello, the two most likely options would be the Willow Scene (Act 4 Scene 3) with female presentation/attitudes and Emilia/Desdemona, or they could an outlandish one with Cassio/Bianca with their first interaction at end of Act 3 Scene 4 (where she goes "I must be circumstanced"). Definitely wouldn't predict anything to do with Iago, and tbh idk if they'd do a male driven question since anything regarding the presentation of women in love with Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca is long overdue.
