I thought it was a relatively easy paper, considering all questions were essays. Section 3 was interesting as it said "at least one" related text, compared to section 3 in paper 1.

+1. Didn't have enough time to finish section 3, so I left out 1 point and done my conclusion... I felt I answered question 1 and 3 very well, and 2 was alright, but not great.

Does anyone remember the question they asked for Hamlet? All I remember is that it was about loyalty.

 

[possessionless]

not too bad. better than what i thought.section 3 was the worst for me but i always knew it would be so that wasnt a suprise.loved section 2 and section 1 was alright.probably my hardest exam so far but thats only because my other 2 have been easy..

hahahahahaha oh mythat was terrible. Section 1/ Gatsby and sonnets was ok at best, Hamlet/section 2 was also ok, but because i went so far over time with them, i only had 12 minutes for section 3/conflicting perspectives-justice game. 12 minutes.

They were all essays. I think I did alright. I did 8 6 7 pages for each module.

Through its portrayal of human experience, Shakespeare's Hamlet reinforces the significance of loyalty. To what extent does your interpretation of Hamlet support this view?
