A detailed revision table of FIFTY key Hamlet quotations for OCR A Level English Literature H472/01 Drama and Poetry Pre-1900, Section 1. Each quotation includes speaker and context, act reference, a Part A close analysis column (identifying and explaining language techniques such as imagery, dramatic irony, and metaphor), and a Part B interpretations column drawing on critical perspectives including psychoanalytic, feminist, Marxist, and new historicist readings. A blank final column is provided for students to add their own ideas.

This ten-page colour-coded A4 handout gives A-Level English Literature students everything they need to integrate named critical perspectives into Part B (AO1 + AO5) essay responses — one lens per page, built around OCR H472/01 but applicable to any A-Level specification that assesses literary interpretation. Each page covers a distinct critical school — psychoanalytic, feminist, political/new historicist, character criticism, and performance/production — and follows the same clear structure: • A concise introduction to the school of thought and what it claims about Hamlet • Named critics with their specific arguments and key texts (Bradley, Jones, Showalter, Kott, Greenblatt, Adelman, Eliot and more) • 3–4 key moments from the play read through that lens, with quotations • A modelled integration section showing a live argument in motion, written in response to a specific essay question • A prompt for them to continue the answer using their own knowledge The integration section is where this resource earns its place. Rather than offering isolated example sentences, each page models a complete critical paragraph — introducing the lens, naming a critic, using a quotation interpretively, and holding competing readings in tension — all in direct response to a clearly signposted question. Students can see not just what to say, but how to make it do work in an argument. Questions used for the modelled paragraphs: • Psychoanalytic: ‘Shakespeare presents delay not as weakness but as the most honest response to an impossible situation.’ • Feminist: ‘Shakespeare presents women as defined entirely by the men who control them.’ • Political: ‘Shakespeare presents power as something that can only be maintained through surveillance and control.’ • Character: ‘Shakespeare presents grief as something that isolates, distorts and ultimately consumes those who refuse to suppress it.’ • Performance: ‘Shakespeare presents madness — whether real or performed — as the only rational response to an irrational world.’ Production references include Olivier (1948), Branagh (1996), Doran/Tennant RSC (2008), Icke/Scott Almeida (2017), and the National Theatre (2025). Suitable for mixed-ability Year 13. Works as a revision resource, a pre-essay briefing, or an ongoing reference throughout the course.
