Exam Tips: English Literature

English Literature is generally a subject which is really vast and can cause students to get slightly overwhelmed. We are providing you with a few tips to help you for your English Literature exams and hope it improves your scores: 

1) Read the Material: This one should go without saying, but we must mention it. Literature is all about reading and there is no substitute to reading the original work, although there are guides and translations, you must read the actual stories. 

2) Use your own notes: Literature can have different meanings to different people. So, its better to go along with what you have learnt with the help of your teacher. This helps you to understand perfectly from one point of view rather than half understand many points of views and differences. It is always better to learn one way perfectly rather than know a little of everything. 

3) Mind Mapping: Try using the concept of mind mapping for remembering plots, characters and traits. This can really help you to keep things planted in your mind for the exams. 





















4) Know the antagonists and protagonists: The main character of a story is called the protagonist. This 
character may be a hero, a person coming of age, a character involved in a journey of some sort, or a person seeking love or fame. Typically, the protagonist will face a challenge in the form of an antagonist. The antagonist will be the person or thing that acts as a force against the protagonist. The antagonist exists to prevent the main character from achieving his goal or dream. Some stories can have more than one antagonist, and some people disagree on the character who fills the role of antagonist. For example, in Moby Dick, some people view the whale as the non-human antagonist for Ahab, the main character. Others believe that Starbuck is the main antagonist in the story.

5) Connect authors with stories. One of the big mistakes that students make when studying for a literature exam is forgetting which author goes with each piece of work. It’s an easy mistake to make. Use a mind map and be sure to include the author as a major element of your map.
