Helpful revision material for Othello


Two sections of the AQA exam will be based on the play Othello. 

Section A: an extract from Othello. You will be asked to explore the significance of the extract in relation to the tragedy as a whole. You will be asked to link to the dramatic methods in your answer. You should also remember to use the elements of classical tragedy in your response. You will be assessed on all of the AOs in this section. Spend approx 50 minutes on this section.

Section B: you will be given a choice of two questions about the play Othello. You pick one question, and answer it. This question will have a statement about the play, and you will be asked to what extent you agree with that view. You will be assessed on all of the AOs. Spend 50 minutes on this section.

[Section C: you will answer a question using two texts to support your response. You will use Death of a Salesman and Keats' poetry in your response. Spend 50 minutes on this section. You have been preparing for this question on the other side of the course.]
