How did you find it?

Did the question allow you to discuss your readings/productions adequately?

I was so worried about King Lear... but the question turned out great! I'm so glad they didn't ask us to write a whole essay on one theme like Filial ingrattude or something like that.

Yeah i was crying last night when i heard that the 2001 exam specified a theme. I was up so late learning all the themes in specific detail lol. I didnt think the question allowed for us to discuss readings, we could add them in as part of the Productions but i think in general the readings weren't the focus, - so now im regretting my answer looking at the last two reponses to this question lol.

It would have been ok if I had had enough time to actually give a decent response. Mine was all over the place

yeh it was a great questions allowed you to talk about many things

but my teacher said it was probably the hardest because of the part of the question that mentioned language and form.....

did everyone talk about all of the question?

Definitely my best response out of the three...I think I did well. Loved the question, was sooo happy with it that I wrote this response first...I was so worried that Lear would stump me but the question was along the lines I was hoping for. Excellent.

Yeah I made sure I spoke about language and form, because it was specified in the question and if you don't theres no way you can even be considered for the higher marks. I left this one till last (as I usually do with King Lear), disagreed with the statement and then talked about context and shit. Then discussed 4 interpretations (ran out of time on the last one, jumped when he said pens down!) only got to start a conlclusion....

Yeah I really liked it too. I'm worried I didn't talk about 'ideas' and 'form' enough, but hopefully the rest of my answer was ok :)
