    Ok I have my Xmas test tomorrow. I know about 25 quotes for Act I and Act II Scene I.. I'm just wondering what question can really come up seeing as we've only done one and a half acts.. Thanks for any replies! Also is that amount of quotes enough to do well? Thanks

    Compare and contrast the 5 parent-child relationships.

    ghost - hamlet
    claudius - hamlet
    gertrude - hamlet
    polonius - laertes
    polonius - ophelia

    25 quotes is loads as long as they are relevant

    Its about 24 more quotes than I had in the LC and I still got a C1 ;). However I knew that I wouldn't be counting point from English so I didn't really care.

    25 quotes seems waaay over the top, no way that you could be asked a long question on that little work. Its only Xmas tests too, nobody will remember what you got (you included) come Feb. anyway

    I never understood this learning off reams of quotes that people do for the English exam. You should know your texts and poets well enough that the quotes come to you just like that, naturally, in line with the point you're trying to make.
