About the The Merchant of Venice Text Guide (Ages 14-16)

Here are our top reasons to buy The Merchant of Venice Text Guide (Ages 14-16):

  • Covers The Merchant of Venice for GCSE English Literature, grades 9-1
  • Matched to the AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas specifications
  • 80 pages of notes on plot, characters, language, themes and context
  • Warm-up activities, in-depth exercises and exam-style questions with full answers

The Merchant of Venice comes up in the GCSE English Literature exams at the end of Year 11, and this guide covers the whole play.

A detailed character profile of Antonio, breaking down his personality, generosity
A character profile of Antonio from The Merchant of Venice, analysing his traits and Shakespeare's use of hyperbole.

Shakespeare is hard to revise from memory alone, so this CGP text guide takes your student through the play scene by scene. The notes suit AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas. There are harder questions too, for a student aiming at grades 8-9.

A detailed character profile of Bassanio, listing his qualities, motivations, and key quotes from the play
A character profile of Bassanio, listing his traits, key quotes, and a photo of an actor in the role.

The 80-page printed guide sets out the plot, the characters, the language, the themes and the context. Each section ends with warm-up activities, longer exercises and exam-style questions. Answers are included, so your student can mark their own work.

A detailed character profile of Portia, using a photo and text to explain her traits, themes, and Shakespeare's techniques
A character profile of Portia from The Merchant of Venice, using a photo and text to explain her traits, themes, and Shakespeare's techniques.

The character pages do a lot of the work here. Portia has her own profile, with her traits, the themes she carries and the techniques Shakespeare uses. That gives your student quotes to learn and clear points to make about them. A cartoon-strip summary recaps the plot, and the Online Edition adds activities for each board.
