english lit or philosophy a level?

i’m currently in year 11 and have to choose a levels in a few months. i want to study law at uni so im conscious of having to pick essay subjects, but i know that law doesn’t require specific subjects so theres more freedom. my school makes us choose 4 and my three that i want to do are physics politics and economics. physics is just because its my favourite subject and i really want to continue doing it. i dont have a traditional essay subject so i was considering a level english, but i struggle with remembering quotes and don’t know if id be able to handle a level when i find i have to work quite hard to get high marks at gcse. i dont do anything like philosophy at gcse bc i picked badly but im quite interested in it especially the debate side, and i think in terms of interest i would prefer to do philosophy. but because i dont want to do a subject like history maybe i should do english just to be safe? someone help😭
