As a short cut, I’ve selected various quotations from The Crucible to get you started. One way of overcoming this, is to be aware of key quotations linked to the main ideas in each text. You will be given a copy of the text in the exam, but you do not want to waste lots of time fumbling for quotations. You can make it easier by ensuring that you know the texts VERY well. Having to write extensively and analytically about two texts is no mean feat. Tuesday’s literature exam probably seems quite a daunting prospect.
