    Do you think I'll be covered with this or is this too big a risk? Mahon, Bishop and Plath with Cultural Context and Theme: Identity. Think I might do Shakespeare in the morning but only if I have to.

    Grand for the comparative, not too bad for Macbeth. For poetry I've half covered Hopkins, Shakespeare and Plath.

    Looking forward to tomorrow a bit more now after paper 1. Just realised how much of a waffle fest it was, at least paper 2 has some structure to it and can feel prepared from studying.

    I'd be laughing if literary genre came up with 'how a good story is told' as a follow on from paper 1 but I know they're not linked :(

    Dunno how people are so confident Mahon will come up.. I am covering Kinsella and Hopkins just in case

    I'm hoping Shakespeare/Hopkins will come up. Have Bishop and Mahon prepared also however, but just not as well.

    Super confident with Macbeth. Comparative needs a bit of work.
    Hoping for Mahon, Plath or Wordsworth

    Lads, have no fear, I was reading through Derek Mahon just there with the iPod on shuffle to keep me company and this came on:

    "It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up..."

    Has to be divine intervention, right?

    Theme/issue, Bishop/Shakespeare, character question on Macbeth himself - bliss :D

    Realistically it would be a question on the minor characters in Macbeth, so you would be doing Banquo and Macduff, not just Banquo by himself.

    Someone posted an essay they wrote on Banquo about a week ago, I de-constructed it and built it back up for the A1 :cool:

    It does seem pretty tough though, you should try planning one now because I definitely wouldn't have been able to think it up on the day.

    Realistically it won't. Macduff is a one-dimensional character, Banquo isn't at all.

    Did Kingship not come up in an indirect manner in 2009?

    I have all the past questions typed in the Macbeth thread, Banquo has come up before.

    (I understand that there is nothing for certain, but I'm running out of time).

    I know Plath and Wordsworth entirely, I've read Plath's book and know 7 poems by heart, learned Tintern Abby by Wordsworth.

    I'm starting on Bishop. I'm thinking of avoiding Rich and Kinsella? Wise?
