Why learn quotations and what quotations to learn
There is only one good reason to memorise quotations for your English Literature GCSE: because those quotations contain methods that you can analyse for AO2. That’s it. You need to analyse other parts of the texts in your essays, of course, but you don’t need quotations for this; you just need references, which is slightly different. We explain this difference in the first guide in this section of the website, which you should read now. The remaining guides are just lists of key quotations, with suggestions for how you can analyse the methods contained within them.
