English Literature - Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel

Learn 10–15 short quotations from each text — you'll need them for the 'wider text' sections.

For Shakespeare, comment on dramatic techniques: soliloquy, dramatic irony, stage directions.

Consider the historical context — what would a Victorian/Elizabethan audience think?

Timing is critical — you have multiple sections to complete. Plan your time before you start writing.

Use short, embedded quotations rather than copying out long passages. This shows precision.
