    Yeh Edmund's the bad bollocks. I wouldn't say Edgar would justify a full question either...he changes yeh but he's too feckin naieve and straightforward. Edmund is great, and if you end up writing on him, don't say he repents his sins at the end - because he doesn't He just says "Some good I mean to do" to look good, he knows he's dying, he knows Goneril has poisoned Regan, he knows Cordelia and Lear are dead.

    If he really had changed, he would have told Albany/Edgar/Kent about the death sentence before - instead he said "What you have charg'd me with is true...And more, much more which time will reveal"

    Consummate liar.

    I wouldn't see them asking a question on just the Fool. A man more sinn'd against than sinning or Edmund ftw.

    i think they could ask a question on like edgar and edmund or parenting in general..
    that would be a lovely question to bull**** ur way through

    I dunno...if you think about it Edgar and Edmund don't interact that much apart from Edmund scheming to have Edgar banished, and Edgar eventually slaying Edmund. Their roles in the play diverge for most of it.

    But I could see a question on the differences between them or something.

    I think there'll be a question on Lear himself in some shape or form though

    Is it set in stone that there's 1 on a character and 1 on imagery?

    I'd imagine imagery could change to a theme or something

    if you have Folens exam papers look at the sample papers they made for this year, it has questions on the Fool, on the importance of the subplot in Lear.

    Also has some good poetry combinations!

    Oh its getting closer!

    So i have studied longley, plath and bishop..hardy is just a no go zone for me! Do you think i am covered? Our teacher seemed pretty sure a female poet will definately come up or there will be 'uproar'!

    As for Lear... i am lost! Any ideas where to start?!:confused: Our teacher kept blabbing on about its appeal to a modern audience so hopefully that comes up!

    welcome to boards tweety! you seem covered in poetry but you should just go over king lear for about 30 mins or so and jot down some quotations and remember the main parts to the play and know what its all about.

    I had a dream over the weekend that one of the essay titles was about how maths i taught to Irish students.

    Here's for one on the edcucation system. Doubt they'd be that specific.

    I'd absolutely love if an essay on immigration came up
