    I feel exactly the same way. Othello not so bad tho... Poetry... if it's Donne, I'm okay. Anyone else, screwed.

    Paper 2 is a bit risky for me. Othello should be grand but if theme,boland and mahon don't come up I'm royally screwed.

    I think I'm just going to write out a practice Theme Or Issue question, and cultural context question and then leave it at that for the comparative.

    I really need to study Othello. I haven't looked at it since before the mocks, and even then I didn't do much.

    Poety....meh. I haven't learned many quotes, but Boland was hammered into us by our teacher since 5th year so i know her well. Larkin will be a backup, and then I'll know the basics of Mahon.

    I'd love Cultural Context to come up...if not I'll just try Theme/Issue!
    Hopefully Donne or Mahon will be there tomorrow...if it's Rich I'm not doing it, can't stand her!
    Hopefully the Othello question is something to do with jealousy/revenge or Iagos motives :)

    "Iago is basically a prick" Discuss this statement with reference to the play Othello.

    What a class question!

    I'm digging my own grave here and learning:

    *theme- to compare

    Othello:
    Othello- how he's all insane
    Iago- can manipulate people

    :(

    I bought the 'English Key Notes' book b Tony Lake and I'm learning off the sample answers in that...not fully word for word but more or less the same.
    Could examiners class this as plagiarism (as I along with half of my class will be doing the same? and don't papers from your school all get corrected by the same person?)

    As long as it's not word for word and you personalise a bit you should be ok Mr L_8 ;)

    Come on Iago, Mahon and literary Genre. And the key Notes book is the best book ever. Has the answer for all things English.

    Would you say these will be ok/enough paragraph topics for Iago

    Opening scene evident that Iago delgihts in causing mayhem and misery

    Imagery+symbolis reinforce the idea of iago's evilness


    .....most impressive talents ability to asses people characters/weakness

    ability to hide through self

    and evil genius is most evident in temp scence

    would 4 out of those 5 be enough with a paragraph on each???..not including my op paragraph and conclusion???

    Othello = Iago + Jealousy

    Comparative = T+I and Literary genre

    Poetry = Rich Larkin Mahon Boland
