Paper Overview and Instructions
Time management is absolutely crucial for this paper - you've got 105 minutes to earn 70 marks across three questions. That works out to roughly 50 minutes for your Shakespeare essay and 55 minutes for both poetry questions.
You'll need to answer one question from Section A (Shakespeare) and both questions in Section B (unseen poetry). Remember, you can't use a dictionary, so trust your instincts with vocabulary and context clues.
The AO4 marks are extra points for your spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary - basically, write clearly and accurately. Section A gives you 4 bonus AO4 marks, and so does poetry question 07.1, so neat handwriting and proper sentences really do pay off.
Pro tip: Choose your Shakespeare question quickly and stick with it - don't waste precious minutes reading through all the extracts!

Section A: Shakespeare Text Options
You've got six Shakespeare plays to choose from, each with a meaty 30-mark question plus 4 AO4 marks. The plays are Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, and Julius Caesar.
Every question follows the same format: you'll get an extract to analyse, then explore how Shakespeare presents a particular theme or character both in that extract and throughout the entire play. This two-part structure is your roadmap to success.
Section B covers unseen poetry - question 07.1 is worth 28 marks total , whilst question 07.2 is worth 8 marks. The poetry section tests your ability to analyse texts you've never seen before, so your close reading skills are absolutely vital.
Remember: Pick the Shakespeare text you know best, not necessarily the extract that looks easiest at first glance!

Macbeth Extract: Act 3 Scene 1
Macbeth's paranoia takes centre stage in this soliloquy where he obsesses over Banquo as a threat. He's just become king, but instead of celebrating, he's consumed by fear that Banquo will expose him or that Banquo's descendants will steal his throne.
The language reveals Macbeth's psychological torment - phrases like "Our fears in Banquo stick deep" and "under him my genius is rebuked" show how Banquo's nobility makes Macbeth feel inferior. Shakespeare uses the metaphor of a "fruitless crown" to emphasise Macbeth's realisation that he's sacrificed everything for a throne he can't pass to his own children.
This extract perfectly sets up the question about Macbeth's fears throughout the play. You could discuss his fear of discovery, fear of losing power, fear of the supernatural, and how these fears ultimately destroy him. The key is linking this moment to his earlier hesitations about murdering Duncan and his later descent into tyrannical madness.
Analysis focus: Look at how Shakespeare uses imagery of barrenness and futility to show Macbeth's growing desperation.
4
of 10
Romeo and Juliet Extract: Act 2 Scene 2
This is the famous balcony scene where Romeo delivers some of literature's most beautiful love poetry. Shakespeare presents Romeo as completely infatuated through extended metaphors comparing Juliet to the sun, stars, and celestial bodies.
The imagery of light dominates this speech - "what light through yonder window breaks?" immediately establishes the contrast between the literal darkness and the metaphorical brightness Juliet brings to Romeo's world. His wish to be "a glove upon that hand" shows the intensity of his desire for physical closeness.
For the broader play analysis, you'd want to explore how Romeo's feelings evolve from his shallow crush on Rosaline to this profound love for Juliet, then through to his desperate grief and suicide. Shakespeare shows both the beauty and destructiveness of young, passionate love.
Key technique: Notice how Shakespeare uses dramatic irony - Romeo doesn't know Juliet can't hear him, making his honest emotions even more powerful.
5
of 10
The Tempest Extract: Act 5 Scene 1
Prospero's moment of mercy comes as he prepares to forgive his enemies and abandon his magical powers. Shakespeare presents him as complex - he shows genuine emotion for "Holy Gonzalo" but still lectures the others about their past crimes.
The metaphor of the tide ("the approaching tide will shortly fill the reasonable shore") suggests that reason and sanity are returning to his victims as his magic wears off. Prospero's decision to "discase" himself and appear "as I was sometime Milan" symbolises his return to humanity.
Whether Prospero is "fair" is debatable - he's spent years planning revenge, enslaved Ariel and Caliban, and manipulated everyone around him. Yet he chooses forgiveness over revenge, which could be seen as true justice. You'd need to weigh his harsh treatment of enemies against his ultimate mercy.
Consider this: Is Prospero's forgiveness genuine compassion or just another form of showing his power over others?
6
of 10
The Merchant of Venice Extract: Act 3 Scene 3
Shylock's determination to claim his bond reveals the toxic relationship between him and Antonio. The repetition of "I'll have my bond" shows his absolute refusal to show mercy, while his comparison of himself to a dog ("since I am a dog, beware my fangs") throws Antonio's past insults back at him.
Shakespeare presents their relationship as built on mutual hatred and prejudice. Antonio admits he's previously helped people escape Shylock's contracts, explaining "therefore he hates me." This suggests their conflict goes far beyond the current loan agreement.
Throughout the play, you could explore how their relationship reflects the broader Christian-Jewish tensions of Shakespeare's time, Antonio's casual antisemitism, Shylock's desire for revenge versus justice, and how both characters suffer from the cycle of hatred and discrimination.
Important context: Remember that Elizabethan audiences would have had very different attitudes toward Shylock than modern readers do.
7
of 10
Much Ado About Nothing Extract: Act 1 Scene 1
Claudio's instant infatuation with Hero contrasts sharply with Benedick's cynical attitude toward love. When Claudio calls Hero "the sweetest lady that ever I looked on," Shakespeare shows us love at first sight in its most idealised form.
Benedick's mocking responses ("Would you buy her, that you enquire after her?") highlight how shallow Claudio's attraction might be - he's focusing entirely on Hero's appearance rather than her personality or character. The commercial language suggests Claudio sees marriage as a transaction.
For the whole play, you'd want to examine how Claudio's feelings shift dramatically - from instant love to cruel rejection when he believes Hero has been unfaithful, then back to remorse and love. Shakespeare uses Claudio to explore how easily young men can be manipulated and how quickly love can turn to hate.
Character insight: Notice how Claudio seeks Benedick's approval for his feelings, suggesting he's not entirely confident in his own emotions.
8
of 10
Julius Caesar Extract: Act 3 Scene 1
Antony's political cunning shines through his seemingly respectful address to Caesar's assassins. By shaking each conspirator's "bloody hand," he appears to make peace while actually gathering intelligence and asserting his own importance.
His speech to Caesar's corpse reveals genuine grief mixed with calculated drama. The hunting metaphors ("Here wast thou bayed, brave hart") present Caesar as noble prey and the conspirators as savage hunters, cleverly shifting sympathy toward the dead leader.
Throughout the play, you could argue that Antony proves his loyalty through action - he risks his life to give Caesar's funeral speech, pursues the conspirators relentlessly, and ultimately destroys them. However, his manipulation of the Roman crowd and his later treatment of Lepidus suggest his loyalty might be more about personal ambition than true friendship.
Political strategy: Watch how Antony uses emotion and rhetoric to achieve his goals while appearing to be simply a grieving friend.
