i rekon that was a fairly reasonable paper, much like paper 1, it gave us the opportunity to show what we know.. the only thing i didnt like was in king lear how we were sposed to refer to 2 key extracts, they cud hav just sed with substantial textual evidence or something. oh well its over hooray!
