All Module A texts online! (1 Viewer)

[derrida]

hey everyone, i know how much this helped me when i was doing my hsc, having a copy of the text to search when getting quotes for essays etc.... so i have gotten all of the text for this module and uploaded them! Just note that these texts don't always comply exactly with some of the versions used in the HSC and some of the scripts are hand written by fans. but i hope its a big help anyway!

maybe if this is useful it can be made a sticky?

so here's an upload of every text in this module (except the films, i have included the scripts there though) at Uploads.sc which is a free online drive.

I did my HSC in 2004 but found it more useful to search texts on my computer when looking for quotes etc when writing an essay...

cheers

i used the usyd versions of the texts (not just for module a, most other english modules and extensions too)

for e.g. the hamlet one is http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~matty/Shakespeare/texts/tragedies/hamlet.html

i'm pretty sure they're the BOS certified versions, because the quotes i took from them were marked without fuss by my teachers. just google usyd and "text"

btw great idea derrida. ahahaha he was a pretty great guy <3 pomo

hmm and because this is module a i thought i'd just add as an old hand, this was the hardest module for me lolz. cause you had to expand on lets see (i did hamlet/ragad):

i) historical, social, religious contexts

ii) characterisation

iii) existentialism, puritanism, elizabethan era, postmodernism, ww2, capitalism, democracy, monarchy

iv) and values and attitudes (identity, social hierarchy and death for me)

v) revenge tragedy vs. absurdist theatre

so my advice is to use the language techniques of characterisation to highlight and reinforce the shift in societal contexts AS A RESULT of the change in form leading to changes in values and attitudes.

and the thesis only needs to elaborate on how transformations lead to the values of the old being updated to resonate with the new.

plus use as many buzz words.

the end
