Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2010). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

There are two things which are key to Clarence's possible thoughts.
One is hatred for the people who he thinks have put him in the Tower, to wit the Queen and her family.
The other will no doubt centre on his brother, who, of course, put into his mind the previous piece of 'information'.
Clarence will see him as his potential saviour, as a true brother.
For an answer to receive adequate reward this material must be present but perhaps the key to higher reward will be communication of Clarence's weak and gullible personality.
He really is a sheep amongst wolves and fear will no doubt be prominent in his voice.
