8 (1720U40-1) Henry IV Part 1 Either, 12. “Falstaff may entertain an audience but his character is portrayed as fundamentally irrelevant to the development of a future king.” How far would you agree with this view of the play Henry IV Part 1? [75] Or, 13. Examine the view that “in Henry IV Part 1 Shakespeare presents rebels in a more sympathetic light than the systems they oppose.” [75] The Tempest Either, 14. “Although the island is apparently far removed from the world of Milan, there is no escaping the influence of the past.” Discuss this view of The Tempest. [75] Or, 15. How far would you agree that “in The Tempest, magic is presented as a distraction from the main concerns of the play”? [75] END OF PAPER © WJEC CBAC Ltd.
