Our tenth episode on Romeo and Juliet means that we are starting to explore some of the more niche questions that could come up. But remember, just because this question is an unlikely one, there is a whole lot of stuff in here that could be used in other essays as well. So come with us as we explore how the passage of time - and particularly the speed of its passing - has such a huge effect on our eponymous star-crossed lovers.

A dear friend in your time of need, or a traitor and a coward? No, not a question about Mr Forster - although, you'd have a point - but instead an exploration of a seemingly minor but actually very important character within the play: the Friar.

Fate... the idea that everything is predestined, that the very fact that you are here listening to this podcast was somehow preordained and written into the cosmos.
Hopefully you will find the next twenty-five minutes less painful than the fated journey of our eponymous star-crossed lovers, and emerge confident in how to write an essay about this tricky but not too tricky theme.

You can't really write about A Christmas Carol without getting into Dickens' social message; so why not turn it into an entire essay, we thought. Enjoy!

The best essays will move around a text and show a detailed understanding of the work as a whole. And you will need to be able to do this to ace this question. Can a man who murders his king be called a hero? In order to be a true villain, do you perhaps need something of the hero about you? Complex questions lead to great essays.

A change is as good as the rest, they say. But is that true for our star-cross'd lovers? Mr Forster and Mr Gallie explore how you would construct and execute a top level essay on what Shakespeare's tragedy teaches us about the power of change.

An unlikey character question? Perhaps, but one that may unlock interesting ideas for other questions as well. We explore the significance of the Nurse and how you could use her to explore the deeper themes in the play.

Happiness, the key to a long and... happy life. In this episode we look at the many forms happiness takes in the novella and ask what does it really mean to be happy (hint: it's not about money!).

9 episodes! 9 whole episodes--you lucky, lucky revisers! This week we look at Eric, his terrible deeds and Priestley's perhaps uncomfortable presentation of him at the play's end. Can a modern audience still relate to this message in the same way? We explore all this and more.

This episode we look at the role of pride in the older Birling's failure to learn Priestley's message. To what extent does their belief that they are simply better than Eva Smith play into their eventual downfall?

We look at how through the depiction of Eva Smith and, to a lesser extent, Sheila, Priestley's play argues that the treatment of women is one of the many things that much change if we want to make a better world.
