Macbeth Essays
There are loads of ways you can approach writing an essay, but the two i favour are detailed below., the key thing to remember is that an essay should focus on the three aos:, ao1: plot and character development; ao2: language and technique; ao3: context, strategy 1 : extract / rest of play, the first strategy basically splits the essay into 3 paragraphs., the first paragraph focuses on the extract, the second focuses on the rest of the play, the third focuses on context. essentially, it's one ao per paragraph, for a really neatly organised essay., strategy 2 : a structured essay with an argument, this strategy allows you to get a much higher marks as it's structured to form an argument about the whole text. although you might think that's harder - and it's probably going to score more highly - i'd argue that it's actually easier to master. mainly because you do most of the work before the day of the exam., to see some examples of these, click on the links below:, lady macbeth as a powerful woman, macbeth as a heroic character, the key to this style is remembering this: you're going to get a question about a theme, and the extract will definitely relate to the theme., the strategy here is planning out your essays before the exam, knowing that the extract will fit into them somehow., below are some structured essays i've put together., macbeth and gender.

Part of English About the course
Section Two - Critical Essay
The second half of the Critical Reading exam requires you to write a critical essay on a text you have studied in class .
You will not have a copy of the text in front of you in the exam, nor will you have access to any notes or essay plans.
This component is worth 20% of your overall grade.
The Critical Essay
In the exam you will turn to the section appropriate to the text you have studied ( prose, poetry, drama, film and television or language ).
Before they get started, some candidates like to:
- sketch out a brief essay plan
- write down quotations that they plan to use
Some candidates just prefer to launch into writing the essay.
You only have 45 minutes – so be realistic about what can be achieved in this time.
How to structure a Critical Essay
- introduction - refer to author, title, task, techniques
- summary of text - concise, focusing on the bits of the poem/story/play/film relevant to your question
- main paragraphs - 4/5 paragraphs where you analyse and evaluate the writer’s use of literary techniques, whilst linking to the question
How to prepare
You should try to avoid guessing which essay questions might come up in the exam. This approach might leave you exposed if a question that you haven’t planned for comes up on the day. However, during the course of the year you will have comprehensively studied your essay text – you should know this piece very well.
For example, if you have studied a play or a novel/short story you should be familiar with aspects of:
- characterisation close characterisation The way a writer creates a fictional character through aspects such as personality and motivation.
- setting close setting The surroundings in which a text occurs such as time and place.
- theme close theme Central, unifying idea(s) that run through a text.
You might also have examined:
- effective openings and endings
- a key incident
- a turning point close turning point A decisive moment at which a change occurs.
Realistically, the exam questions should be open enough for you to manipulate to suit your text and what you know about it.
To prepare for the exam, you might want to try timed paragraphs (7-8 mins) before piecing everything together in a timed/no notes essay.
