English Coursework Afterthoughts.

'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow / Creeps in this petty pace from day to day / To the last syllable of recorded time; / And all our yesterdays have lighted fools /  The way to dusty death.' (5.v.18)

I think that passage of Macbeth's soliloquy roughly sums up the mindset on the final stretch of perfecting a 1,500 word essay comparing 'Macbeth' and 'Pulp Fiction'. Between 3 hour 'Wuthering Heights' rehearsals and all day Sunday 'The Hero That Panto Deserves' rehearsals and assignments for my other subjects, staying up til midnight checking whether this word is an adverb or in this instance (and this instance alone, apparently) perhaps a pronoun, if this clause could be counted as an interrogative even though its in the middle of a complex sentence, checking this line reference actually corresponds to the quote and painstakingly checking the 70:30 'Macbeth':'Pulp Fiction' ratio.
