IB - EASTER HOMEWORK 1 PAPER 2 EXAM

Here are the three questions we discussed in class on Wednesday 23 March. You should choose one of these titles to write up an essay using two of the three plays studied for this unit.


The deadline for this work is Wednesday 13 April.


The difference in a play between what is being said and what is being done can provide one focus of interest for the audience. In plays you have studied, by what means and to what effect have dramatists made good use of such differences?

What part does fantasy play in the lives of the characters in plays you have studied; how is this fantasy presented and to what effect on the audience?

Using plays you have studied, write an essay on the presentation of the relationships between male and female characters [or between characters of the same sex], giving some idea of the dramatic effects achieved by these means.
