Literature Final Study Techniques
On Tuesday, I have a Lit. final. Its over Shakespeare. His life and his plays. The part about his life and the Globe Theater, thats just facts, I can just know them. But the plays, there's 11 of them that we've read (Half of which I didn't understand) that there is going to be comprehension questions on.
I've got summaries for all of the plays, but they're pretty long. Some, like Alls Well That Ends Well and Romeo and Juliet, I know like the back of my hand. But how do I study for the others that I'm not so sure on? Like...reading them over and over isn't going to do nothing and this is like, in the top two of most important midterms to get a decent grade on. Any study technique that does NOT include other people would be very helpful to know.

Besides cheat notes, find ways to link different aspects together. For example the reason why there is so much witch and wizardry in Macbeth is because it was mainly written for King James who was very intrigued by witchcraft in his time. Images such as water are big in Macbeth since it signifies cleansing, when Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo it all comes back to the fact it was written for the King. Link imagery and plot elements with ideals of the time period or a certain group.

I can know for a fact that you are not the only one in your class, seeing as the class would be shut down if you were. There are many others in your class in the same position, as lit finals are always hard. Try and find someone who understands that plays that you don't, and doesn't understand the plays that you do. This way you can get yourself a good mark, and help someone else to do the same.

Get Cliffnotes (aka cheat notes) They do come in handy for understanding and memorizing main points of stories/plays/poems/important written stuff.
