A 40-page document with detailed analysis of the most important themes, characters and symbols of the play. Critics (A05) and quotations are included throughout the document to ensure thorough understanding and analysis.
*Example Content for Jealousy:
*Jealousy should not be confused with envy. In the very first scene of Othello, Iago clearly shows his envy of Cassio because he believes that Cassio has been promoted to lieutenant in his place. Iago had more experience of soldiering and was angry that the younger Cassio, whose only virtues seemed to be those of coming from a higher social class and of being better educated, should have been preferred above himself.
‘I am worth no worse a place,’ Iago says to Roderigo, and there is some justification for his envy of Cassio. However, that does not make this attitude acceptable - Shakespeare’s audience would be familiar with the last of the Ten Commandments which prohibited the discontent which springs from the fierce desire for another’s good fortune. *

Othello Critics and Critical Approaches A-Level English Literature
This is a massive bundle of resources to aid your study of Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’ for A-Level English Literature with a specific focus on critics and critical approaches.
In order to achieve a top grade in English Literature, it is absolutely essential to include critics and/or critical approaches in your answer to act as supporting evidence. You may either corroborate or challenge this critic - it is often quite fun to counter the critic and open up a literary debate.
Included in this resource:
16-Page Highly Detailed Critical Analysis document (PDF/Word included) exploring every single character, theme and ‘critical interpretations over the years’ in the play. A long list of critics for each character / theme, so that you can easily decide which critic and critical approach suits you best for your revision without having to do the EXTENSIVE research involved in categorising the critics. Please see the preview for an example of this document.
Variety of Critics for Characters: Othello, Iago, Desdemona, Cassio, Emilia, Roderigo and Bianca.
Variety of Critics for Themes: Identity/Othersider/Other, Jealousy, Race, Justice, Gender, Othello as a tragedy, Deception, Appearance versus Reality, Manipulation, Love, Identity, Language, Honour and Reputation, Power, Setting.
Key Critical Interpretations over the Years: 19th and 20th Century Views, Feminist Contemporary readings of Desdemona, Marxist Readings, Historicist Readings, Christian Elements of the Play, Post-Colonial Readings, Context on the Source for Othello - Hecatommithi and Literary Context / Intertextuality (tragedy, patriarchy, abuse of women, independent women, the destructive nature of love, race and machiavellian villains in Renaissance drama).
Othello ‘Critical Approaches’ summary sheet. In a similar way to the latter section of the 16-page document, this sheet looks at the variety of approaches, the critics quotes to back up the approach, the key concepts of this approach and then finally how we can apply this approach to ‘Othello’. This is highly easy to understand due to the easy table layout. Approaches include: feminist, marxist, new-historicist, post-colonial, psychoanalytical and formalist.
Othello Critics ‘Cheat Sheet’. A reduced summary of the 16-page document of the REALLY important critics / critical approaches.
Othello’s Final Speech in the play with a highly detailed critical analysis with links to critics / their research included.
A breakdown analysis of F.R. Leavis and this view on Othello / Honour. This is a good example of what the examiner will be looking for in the exam - do not just say the critic, but rather examine what it is that they are saying (challenge/corroborate).

The Crusades and Crusader States FULL Revision Notes (OCR and the majority of the AQA A-Level History courses).
These revision notes (PDF and Word versions included) are incredibly detailed and extensive to ensure thorough knowledge of the the First, Second and Third Crusade as well as the Crusader States. This resource contains two revision packs - one with detailed notes for the First Crusade and Crusader States, the other is for the Second and Third Crusade.
Revision Notes have been laid out in a clear way (topics and sub-topics) and have been written in accordance with the A Level specification requirements.
*Example: *
Why did the situation in Western Europe encourage Crusading?
Theoretical issues: Just War / The Truce of God and the Peace of God movements
Practical motives: Desire of the Popes to bolster their power, the wish to defeat the Muslims threatening Europe and the need to preserve the position of the eastern Roman Empire.
The Issue of Religion: Religion and the Church had a great hold over peoples’ lives which were often short and brutal. Hell was a very real fear and the offer from the Church to shorten your time there or avoid it altogether by undertaking pilgrimage of a crusade appealed to many.
Subtopic: The Just War
One of the reasons why crusading became an acceptable, and even desirable, duty for a Christian knight was that it was seen as morally justified. This belief in a Just War or holy war was derived from a number of sources.
• The Bible, especially the Old Testament, was full of examples of fighting heroes, such as Joshua and King David. The victories of the Israelites over their enemies were viewed as triumphs for God over heathen people.
• The Greek Philosopher Aristotle had used the phrase ‘Just War’ to describe war, which was, as he put it, ‘for the sake of peace.’
