    What do you mean by any, "Wuthering Heights" predictions?

    I presume that you are doing that as part of your comparative.

    And I agree, I think Eliot will come up. :)

    His poetry is so confusing :( hope Eavan Boland and Patrick Kavanagh come up too because they are the only others i've done. My english class is really behind we've only done one of our comparatives aswel. I've taken to doing things myself.
    But nope no predictions..

    If she's looking for predictions, it must be the single text. It's not going to be easy to predict. Go back over the papers and find similar single text novels e.g. Pride & Prejudice and look at the questions. There is usually a character question and a theme question.

    I have a feeling Kavanagh is going to come up. He hasn't come up in the past few years, I think the last time may have been 2004, and my exam papers go up to 2001 and I think he's only there once. I think Boland will come up too, seeing as Rich came up in 2008.

    Yea we've been told Kavanagh, Yeats, Boland and Eliot will come up, but not to rule out Longley cos he's 70 this year so they might put him in to throw us off...

    Can't imagine Edgar Linton coming up on his own. Maybe a comparison between him and Heathcliff? Make sure you know your notes on each of the main characters so you are prepared for any eventuality!

    In regards to the lovely-oh-so-obsessive-confusing-everyone-dies-in-this Wuthering Heights :D I mean, Ive barely any notes as such just ones dedicated to specific questions. But , what can I be doing, other than learning off character sketches etc to get me the A in Wuthering Heights single text? Obviously learn off quotes and all but, what could I be doing early on to catch the curveball in June? Like, no matter what question comes up, Ill still be able to answer it.. :rolleyes:

    The role of the supernatural? Theme of obsessive love? Importance of the setting? If your notes are on specific questions, learn off the structure of those questions.
