Analyse the Writing, Not the Man
Language, form and structure are worth more than everything else on the paper. So why do most answers spend their time on the plot? Where the marks actually are, with the DfE’s own AO weightings; form as a choice, verse and prose; context and motif; three short Macbeth quotations verified against the text, and what each is for; one AO2 paragraph built from two words; four sentences that move an answer up a band. Eight terms to define, a model answer on guilt, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
