Also, on the plays and literature, you have to read them and not just know who wrote them. You have to know which passage came out of what play and the meanings behind them and also know the main characters, whether it was a comedy, romance, etc. [quote]
I would recommend watching many of the Shakespeare plays. You can borrow them from the library. These came in very handy because they helped me connect the plays to the characters and plot lines. I didn't really watch the plays in their entirety, but I had them on while I was cleaning, cooking dinner, and folding laundry. The quotes that you mentioned were in my exam too. They were all Shakespeare and most of them stood out like a sore thumb (like the one from
MacBeth where his wife asks demons to come and unsex her. What ever that means??) I think that I had about 10 questions of this type. Ones that I confidently feel I got correct because I watched/listened to the videos I got from the library.
P.S. Some of them are really long (*cough-boring) but since they helped me pass, my time was well spent.
Good luck on your next time around!
