HSC English Advanced Merchant of Venice - paragraphs and plans for every theme

Very detailed plans and some paragraphs addressing every possible question from the syllabus and some extra themes within the play. This guide helped me achieve a band 6 in English advanced and will certainly help you in your studies for the common module!

Some themes discussed are (not exhaustive):

• opposing religious beliefs (collective experience of prejudice/inconsistencies)
• self-interest and love
• human experience of familial and filial love (powerful emotions)
• Mercy and justice as contradicting notions
• human experience of discrimination (role of women in society - Portia paragraph) etc
