Guys, what do we think our predictions will be for the literature papers this year? I do macbeth, an inspector calls, a christmas carol and love & relationships of the poems

Macbeth: ambition/power, guilt, supernatural/fate, masculinity, kingship/tyranny
An Inspector Calls: responsibility, class, capitalism vs socialism, gender, generational conflict
A Christmas Carol: redemption, poverty/inequality, greed, family/Christmas spirit, change over time
Love & Relationships poems: power in relationships, jealousy/possessiveness, conflict, memory/longing, control vs freedom
Best shout: revise themes + key quotes + how to compare (poems + 2-3 flexible quotes per text) rather than betting on a single question.
