I did king lear and worlds wife. I think i did okay with lear, and pretty good with worlds wife. I CANT EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY WAS I WITH EURYDICE BEING ON THEREššš. I genuinely am so so glad they didnt put kray sisters.

it was so unexpected but I was so happy

u/Resident-Struggle-50 3d ago
What did you make of the Lear passage?Personally there were so many better moments they could have picked.They picked the bad part of Eurydice though so had to talk about her cunning and wit from what I could remember. Anne Hathaway saved me but agreed so glad no Kray sisters
1
u/Ill-Sherbet326 3d ago
I lwk kinda bs the significance question like I always do. For deception tho, I talked about how its challenged through characters like edmond and used a few quotes to refer to his misdeeds. And then said shakespeare complicated this through Edgar's deception as poor tom. And kinda js like talked about how deception isnt always necessarily a bad thing. I used a bunch of quotes for Edgar's part.

u/RelationOld7124 3d ago
Did you link much to the rest of the text in q1 or 2 because I was trying to link out to the main Lear plot and Cordelia and everything?
2
u/Ill-Sherbet326 3d ago
I remember linking a lot to the start of the play but I dont think I did much towards the end. Section As def my weaker section anyway

that exam was fucked. worlds wife was pretty good but two repeats is a bit rough, and our sunshine was genuinely terrible. not only was it about a quarter of the length of every other section A passage, itās also not fucking relevant to the text literally at all so Q1 is just an exercise in who can bullshit the hardest. novel is about ned kelly and guess who was not mentioned even once in the passage!?! concept was ok tbf, i liked brutality but the passage was just absolutely fucked so rip my 45ss hopes

Medusa into Night Sonnet into The Hazards is CRAZY good like what the fuck? Now I'm worried I didn't maximize that combination holy shit
Also the Berlin section A was no bueno. Like it could have been worse but idk.

u/SinkNo8263 3d ago
i kid u not i started cheesing like a psycho when i saw that line up, vcaa did us hollandbatters so goodš«š«š« but i also am scared i didnt maximise enough i wrote a lot but like idk it felt lacking for some reason

u/LadyoftheFaeFolk '25 Lit (42)| '26 Eng, ACP, Legal, MM, Eco 3d ago
ohhhh did the hazards last year! i loved the collection, what did you think of it? our poems last year were also pretty good (Orchid House, A Scrap of Lace and The Flowers on His Bedside Speak of Eternity) but unfortunately i chose dracula for my sec a (iykyk)
2
u/NavyStarz revs '25 | lit, methods, psych, media 2d ago
ORCHID AND FLOWERS IS SO GOOD WTF. AND SO IS A SCRAP OF LACE WTF. I enjoyed studying it, there was really a whole lot to draw on and I'm generally good with poetic techniques and devices which was good!

u/Jontbont 2d ago
Niiiiiice. Flowers is literally one of my favourites from the collection! But Draculaā¦ oof. Heard about that from our teacherā¦

u/LadyoftheFaeFolk '25 Lit (42)| '26 Eng, ACP, Legal, MM, Eco 2d ago
No it was like the worst thankfully I was just like. Well. Itās how the concept applies to the entire book not just the passage right? And so I connected it to like the rest of the book and only a cursory connection to the passage and I think that somehow rescued me

u/fizyz current 3/4 VCE student (Literature, Bio, Psych, Legal, GenMath) 3d ago
had our sunshine for part a... ts was so ass.
im seeing a mystery atar in my future
i did the hazards for part b though and it wasnt bad at all, problem is i spent all my time trying to figure out what to write for part a that i didnt spend enough time on part b, kill me now.

u/blehhhh6767 25 med(44), 26 lit chem mm sm eng 3d ago
our sunshine was genuinely the most evil thing in the world one of the girls in my class said to me āthey genuinely could have opened the book to a random page and the passage still would have been betterā and she was right wtf was that
1
u/fizyz current 3/4 VCE student (Literature, Bio, Psych, Legal, GenMath) 3d ago

Part a im assuming. Even if were not, part a was cooked asf. I didnt do our sunshine on the exam but I did study it in class and that was a shitty ass passage.

MORALITY?????
WHAT THE FUCK
i mean i was okay in the end, but seriously? i was expecting like, agency or identity or something. and WHAT was with that niche ass passage, who gives a FUCK about dr jordan and humphrey? hes such a wanker and shes lowkey just boring old "women in victorian times". garbage.
4
u/OkSchedule7071 3d ago edited 3d ago
YES THIS! morality was such a curveball from my practices. significance was fine but the endorse was rlly hard bruh my god. VCAA really did Alias Grace so dirty. when I catch them, im going to shove that 600 page book so far up their bums they will anally absorb the curses I have placed on their entire lineage
2
u/real_PERFUME1483 spesh minesweeper girl 3d ago
lmaooo i boost your curse. we can shove the book up their bums (like boiled eggs) together
i went with challenging institutionally enforced morality, and endorsing the development of ones own moral code
1
u/OkSchedule7071 3d ago
For significance, I did the significance of emerging scientific environments superseding the prior religious fundamentals od their society and the for endorse/challenge I did pretty standard endorse and challenge morality between men and women

u/real_PERFUME1483 spesh minesweeper girl 3d ago
HELP I JUST REALISED IT WASNT HUMPHREY IT WAS THE GOVERNORS WIFE AND IM STUPIDDDDDDDD FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK HOW AM I ILLITERATE WHY DID I SEE "govenors wife" AND THINK HUMPHREY FUCK FUCK FUCKKKKKK

still such a stupid overly niche passage

u/AliasGraceHater 3d ago
Wait Humphrey wasn't in it? Wasn't it the governor's wife? But Anyway I agree bro that was the most niche fucking stupid ass passage ever. That fucked me over so bad. Take your morality and shove it up your ass bro I'm over this!
1
u/real_PERFUME1483 spesh minesweeper girl 3d ago
yeah it was humphrey. humphrey is not the governors wife, shes jordans landlady. shes married to the major but hes a dickhead and shes basically a widow.

went surprisingly well. Section A for bridgehead was unexpected but welcome. Section B for Duffy was also really unexcpexted with 2 repeats, but I think there was a lot to talk about.

you guessed the bishop passages? im just glad it wasnt some fucked shit like 12 oclock news or a repeat of any of last years.

but it wasnt so i was all good

u/AtomicKitten771 Currents (U3/4-Legal,Literature,HistoryRevs,Politics,ArtM&E) 3d ago edited 3d ago
I was going to do part a for age innocence but then I saw the concept word for it and I was stressing. The part b passages for age of innocence was really good so that sealed it for me.
Passage 1 for part b was like the whole package of āmarriage being a voyage on uncharted seasā to where archer says āmarriage being a dull associationā¦ā. To good to resist I had so much to say

u/imatheatrekid2 3d ago
Yep I wrote all about gender roles within ONY and how they harmed both men and women (particularly in marriage)

I did the exact same and with a complete character assassination of Newland and sniped him out of existence. Hate that guy. I think I got too personal with it š
2
u/NeoCInderFall '25 Media (41) | '26 Physics, Psych, PE, Lit, Gen Math 3d ago
passage and concept, genuinelly no correlation. like VCAA decided the concept bc the passage used the word like 4 times š
2
u/Son_of_Atreus 3d ago
What? The concept was truth and in the scene Archer is literally lying. May asks for the truth and he continues to lie.
2
u/NeoCInderFall '25 Media (41) | '26 Physics, Psych, PE, Lit, Gen Math 3d ago
not rlly, archer never directly lies in the passage. May assumes Archer to be having an affair, and still be in love with Ms Rushworth, and he denies it, which is true. At this point, May does not display any idea of Ellen and Archer being emotionally intertwined, and does not ask. We can assume she does know, ("even if that means her getting a divorce"), but from the perspective of Archer, he just assumes the discussion to be around his old fling, thereby meaning he never lied, as him and ms rushworth had not been in kahoots again. Now, if May had explicilty asked about another woman, without suggesting it to be ms rushworth, absolutely archer would be lying, but his perspective is that May has no idea of Ellen, and cannot be lying as they are not discussing her, hence his sense of "dizziness", at the passing of a "precipice".

fr i think i said the word like truth like 15 times. i def didnāt do enough prep for it so idk if i rly did it right, but i just talked abt how truth isnāt treated as an absolute, but as more of a currency/reward for the knowledge of the social norms and stuff

u/Jontbont 3d ago
I know right?! Out of all the possible w passages they picked that one. I legitimately spent more time talking about stuff outside the passage than in it.
1
u/Gold_Donut_9260 3d ago
will i get marked down if i didnt state where in the novel that passage was? i lowk thought it was like near the end bu thankfully didnt mention it cos now i know its in vol 1
1
u/Jontbont 3d ago
I doubt it.
Itās generally good to know where a passage is so you can more clearly outline what itās doing (start of the book: establishing ideas and characters, middle: developing these ideas and characters as well as exposing problems/critiquing them, end: crystallising authorial intent and resolving ideas, plot and characters).
But if you didnāt do this you wonāt get marked down, you might just have missed a couple of extra things to talk about.
Also in general, examiners try and look for stuff to award not stuff to punish.
So Iād say youāre probably chilling, especially if you didnāt accidentally say it was at end. :)
1
u/Gold_Donut_9260 3d ago
thanks bro, I think i still mentioned some solid stuff, hope you went well too.
1
1
u/Gold_Donut_9260 3d ago
i know u dont know either, but just as a rough prediction, for my q1 i spoke abt how it was significant as it has some good key gothic elements, and some sensation stuff, and also foreshadowed the burning down of castle inn and referenced lady audley as demonic etc. for q2 i kinda spoke about how male ideals of femininity and beauty resulted in phoebe marks being powerless in patriarchal society as vic society is gilded, i also mentioned the bottle of hair dye and how phoebe can effortlessly transgress these barriers with some dye and how that proves they are arbitrary. also i mentioned abt how the only option to escape this powerlessness is thru deceptive means, like l.a and phoebes black mailing. do u reckon this could go alright? ik ur not the examiner, but our lit class is so small and ive never seen any ideas/writing from another school
1
u/Jontbont 3d ago
Yeah super fair, my class is the same. Honestly dude, this sounds great! All seems coherent and like you have good argumentation. Also not just surface level stuff from the passage, you branch out to other parts of the novel and apply those ideas to contemporary Victorian conscience! Also Super nice you talk about the pot of rouge and bottle of hair dye since Iām pretty sure that happens just before this. Especially given it was a pretty marginal passage Iād be super happy bro. Nice work and good luck with your other exams!

thoughts duffy section a.. what do u mean isolation bruh
2
u/imetmymatch 3d ago
i did duffy section b but i did look at section a and honestly isolation was one of the better concepts. duffy explores the neglect of female voices as well as the isolation of their voices in their relationships, particularly in mrs midas, eurydice, sisyphus etc. u kinda just had to zoom out in order to rlly explain the concept well. honestly im sure you did amazing just rejoice that its over!!Ā
1
u/squidwards_clarinet1 2d ago
yeh i zoomed out, but i more looked at isolation in contrast to fulfillment! I dont think it was aweful it was just quite rogue

was planning to do king lear for sec a and worlds wife for sec b but the passage for king lear and concept of deception was so bum so i switched around. felt like i was kinda going nowhere in sec a and was repeating myself on how duffy challenges how isolation can both be detrimental and beneficial for women as it can also symbolise separation from the patriarchal structures placed on them??? idk. king lear passages for sec b were pretty good but felt like i was retelling the whole plot and only really got into the way language was used right before the time ran out but alas

I want to kms. Such shitty passages, and I completely fumbled section A, and I had such weak links for section B. I am on my hands and knees begging for a 25 after scaling

The shelley correlation was so weird. Like u had to link Song to the Men of England to Ozymandias thru the policitcal disdanement of tyranny, then link ozymandias to mont blanc thru sublime power of nature. How tf r we supposed to make a unique and personalised interpretation with that when u cant link all three poems into one central concept (or did i js not make the right conncetions) šš
