A-level English Literature?

Question

I am thinking of taking English Literature for A-level this year. I love books and i read lots of them, and i enjoyed doing it at GCSE. However i was told that you have to study drama pieces, and do acting?

That is something i don't want to do. I'm a really shy person and i hate acting etc

I was wondering if anyone who had taken the subject had to do this?

Answer 1

The drama pieces you have to study, have nothing to do with acting. They are drama such as Shakespeare's.

You do not have to do acting, that is a totally different aspect of studying.

If you love reading, and did well at GCSE, then you will surely do well and like A level Literature
