How can I revise for English Literature?

The common thought is that because English is unlike Maths and Science, it is difficult to find a good way to revise for it. Since the new curriculum, English Literature requires you to memorise the quotes as well as understand how the quotes are used to illustrate a certain aspect of the character or the aim of the author/playwright. Then you must develop your analysis if you want to break into the B/A/A* Category whilst trying to remain original. I will use the play, 'An Inspector Calls' as an example. The best way to revise for this is based on themes. Your questions will be most likely themed based and even if it was character based, again, a themed based revision means you know everything about that character, the way they are in terms of each theme you have revised and memorised. For Example, In 'An Inspector Calls', the common and sensible themes would be the upper and lower class; The older and younger generation; Wealth and Power; Responsibility VS Blame amongst others. Of course some of these themes will have quotes and analysis that bleed into another theme which is always helpful because there's less to remember. Once you have these themes, you will find quotes for each of your characters based on the different themes and next to each quote, you will add a technique that the author or the Playwright or poet had used such as metaphors or similes and so forth.
You could either make this a poster or you can create revision cards that are filed based on your various themes. It depends on the type of learner you are.
Ways to chose a quote:Find the quote that gives you the best imagery not the most typical quote - Make sure you can imagine how this quote is being said, how others react to this quote or even how the quote is acted out because there is nothing stopping you from using a stage direction, if necessary, as a quote. what you shouldn't do is pick the shortest quote thinking it is easier to remember because if you are unable to explain and develop it, you would be in the same position as a person with a longer quote but cannot remember it. Remember the examiners are generous. They allow you to paraphrase the quote.
