This is a “model answer” to a question set on the AQA English Literature B (Paper 2A Texts and Genres: Elements of Crime Writing) in June 2023.
It is not intended to be a “perfect” answer. Nevertheless it would score very highly in the examination and it can be used as a basis for discussion and/or testing your own answer to the question against this one.
The question which this Handout addresses is:
“‘Of all the crimes in the play, it is Claudius’ killing of the king which is the most shocking.’” To what extent do you agree with this view? Remember to include in your answer relevant detailed exploration of Shakespeare’s dramatic methods.
This is an 1100 word answer which would be useful for any students of the play looking at how to structure their answers.
