"unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable"
An Inspector Calls · Mr Birling on the Titanic
Dramatic irony: the audience knows the Titanic sank, which undermines Birling's confidence and foreshadows his other false predictions.

Quotes that need exact wording.

Literature exams reward precise quotation, not paraphrase. Seeing each quote with its speaker and context, repeatedly, helps the exact wording come back under pressure.

Your texts, your list.

Add quotes and terms from whichever texts you are studying (a poetry anthology, a Shakespeare play, a 19th-century novel, or a modern text), so the widget matches your set texts.
