I wrote the name of each character so you would know which character I was talking about, I wrote theme so that you would know what theme you could link it to and therefore when to use the quote in the exam and then I wrote a hint for anyone that uses the resource that needed a little help reminding themselves. So if you cannot make any sense of them, please suggest how I could make them simpler for you:)
