I thought it was a relatively easy paper, considering all questions were essays. Section 3 was interesting as it said "at least one" related text, compared to section 3 in paper 1.

fairly happy overall. section 2 was a bitch though
+1. Didn't have enough time to finish section 3, so I left out 1 point and done my conclusion... I felt I answered question 1 and 3 very well, and 2 was alright, but not great.

Does anyone remember the question they asked for Hamlet? All I remember is that it was about loyalty.

hahahahahaha oh mythat was terrible. Section 1/ Gatsby and sonnets was ok at best, Hamlet/section 2 was also ok, but because i went so far over time with them, i only had 12 minutes for section 3/conflicting perspectives-justice game. 12 minutes.

Through its portrayal of human experience, Shakespeare's Hamlet reinforces the significance of loyalty. To what extent does your interpretation of Hamlet support this view?
