Icl macbeth aint that deep but Jekyll and Hyde especially Lanyon
Fr

Here are some interesting quotes!!
Macbeth:
"Fair is foul and foul is fair" - Inversion, saying we shouldnt trust appearances, a common theme in the play, Macbeth is also told to "Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent underneath it". Its almost as if he's been corrupted by the supernatural (link to context and writers intentions)
'Stars, hide your fired, let not light see my black and deep desires'- Macbeth aims to hide his intentions from god (the stars). He knows what he's intending to do is wrong, and hes worried that even thinking about doing it will not please God. Prehaps it creates the idea that Macbeth is doing this out of free will? His ambition here leads to his suffering, but it wasn't forced. He knows this is wrong yet he still does it. (Link to context/writers intentions)
"Yet i do fear thy nature"- Lady macbeth does not think Macbeth is "man enough" to commit regicide (lol), it links to the idea that Lady macbeth is occasionally seen as masculine while sometimes Macbeth is shown as more feminine, for example when he is panicking after killing duncan ("Macbeth does murder sleep") while Lady macbeth is calmer ("A little water clears us of this deed"). Prehaps its shakespears way of telling us not to overstep our roles, as Macbeth and lady macbeth do not fit into the norms of the jacobean society.
"Unsex me here"- Similar to the last one. LMB is asking dark spirits (link to supernatural and the witches) to strip her of her femininity, so she can help macbeth kill duncan and become king.
"Is this a dagger i see before me"- Macbeth hesitates, this is one of the turning points in the play, IT IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR HIM TO TURN BACK, yet he thinks it is a calling (fate? As predicted by the witches?)
"Macbeth does murder sleep"- Reflects macbeths Guilt, sleep is a symbol of peace, which macbeth purposefully disrupts after breaking the great chain of being. It reflects his mental state and marks the start of his downfall.
"Tis' unnatural, even like the deed that's done"- Proves that the great chain of being has been disrupted, the actions of macbeth have seemingly broken nature and the order of things. Shakespeare does this to warn the audience not to commit any kind of treason or overstep their place/consumed by ambition as it will only lead to chaos.
"A little water clears us of this deed"- Irony, opposes LMB later "Out damned spot! Out i say". She pushes away her guilt but is eventually consumed by it.
Those are some key quotes for Macbeth.
A Christmas Carol key quotes:
"Scrooge was his [...] sole freind and soul mourner"- Establishes the nature of his business partner it shows how he lived his life, mostly alone, consumed by money and it is the same path scrooge walks. Links to later "Chains i forged in life". This is not the right path scrooge should walk, we see how marley ends up.
"He carried his own low temperature [...] and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas" - Establishes Scrooges cold and cynical nature, even at a very happy, joyous time he remains isolated and pushes others away from him.
"As Solitary as an oyster"-A very interesting quote, as it shows how scrooge is isolated and introverted, but also shows how deep down he HAS something worth saving, this is the pearl you find in oysters.
"Christmas has done me good and will do me good"- Fred is saying how Christmas has affected him, he is trying to show scrooge the light, only for him to ignore him, prehaps it DOES however awaken something in scrooge, as later we see that he finally notices marley, despite him apparently having visted many times before, but he is never seen.
"If they would rather die, they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population"- Links to the Malthus theory, the idea thay we dont have enough supplies to supply a growing population. Scrooge (a microcosm of the upper classes) shows his belief of the poor of them being prehaps lazy and unproductive, despite them being the people who uphold society. This is a belief hold by many at the time. At the same time this quote is criticising the theory, as we do not trust scrooge, due to his negative and pessimistic nature, and is further disproved later (see later quote)
"Fezziwig has spent but a few pounds"- Fezziwig is the boss Scrooge could've been, he doesnt spend much, only a few pounds, yet he brings joy to so many people. Fezziwig is shown here by the GOCP in order to show scrooge that he can be a boss that brings despair, or one that brings joy, he will loose little bit will gain much more..
"Another idol has displaced me [...] a golden one"- Scrooge is so afraid of poverty that he has become obsessed over wealth and is now consumed with greed. He has forgotten what really matters, his relationships with others, such as Bell in this situation.
"Heaped up on the floor, to form a king of throne, were turkeys [...], sausages [...], puddings."- Disproves the malthus theory, there is evidently an excess of resources.
"I see a vacant seat in a poor chimney corner"- Scrooge now understands something- the lower classes are people like bob cratchit, hard workers who do everything they can to stay alive, yet they are unable to afford basic healthcare for an innocent, kind tiny tim. The ghost of Christmas present also mocks him for this, referencing his earlier quote of the surplus population, scrooge now understands the value of life and the reality of the poor.
"Am i the man who lay upon the bed"- Scrooge is horrified, he just watched many people mock, steal and disregard this dead individual, some people are even happy because of it, he realises then that if he doesnt change he will truly die alone, just like marley, none will remember him, none will care about him, and his life will have been for nothing, only resulting in the same suffering marley has.
"He knew how to keep Christmas well"- He's changed, now he realised the error of his ways and he has now become a better person.

my school told me that they'll teach us everything we need to know, as a set 1 student, and i have never been taught chremamorphism, i will be using this in my exams, ty
Tbf i dont think many people have despite how easy it is to grasp. So mentioning it definitely gets you top marks or if your like me and fail to flop any high grade idea 0 marks
As a fellow set 1 student, I was flabbergasted at first but it's an amazing concept and easy to grasp.
Frrr
its cuz teachers are a scam (school ones, anyway)
I was nervous at first however I feel much more confident after watching your videos!!
the guy literally solved half of our life problems. thanks sir this is absolute so helpful and amazing I never had seen anyone do this you are different from everyone keep up the good work I will use them in my exam on Monday thanks a lot.

More analysis on the 4th quote:
Verb 'unseamed' makes us to think of the tearing of clothing, the tailor seams clothes. They are very precise, one mistake abd the clothes are ruined. Macbeth is reversing this, hes unseaming a human body, making, makes his enemy suffer.
Hoped this helped, inshAllah we all pass on monday
Can we talk about how Macbeth is so skilled and experienced in battle, that he can carve and slay his enemies
@@ALY-09 Less of skill, more of power and overwhelming ease at which he does does it. also mention feminine connotations for context, Jacobean audience left seam-stressing and sewing to the women, making the action seem so easy, a woman could do it.

Icl this video is actually perfect. U provided 4 perfect quotes that u can relate to any character within the play and for any theme. Im gonna make sure to remember these 4 and thats macbeth sorted.
Thank you sir, on monday i'm going to "unseam the paper from the front to the back"

Good for u
I dislike that joke
You are better than my actual English teacher 😂
You are the goat ❤
Thank you so much sir, i used the heat oppressed brain anlysis as my first quote in the exam today and applied it to lady macbeth as u said and linked it to patriarchy, the question was amazing this year tbh so that also helped
in order
*act 1* : “unseamed from nave to chops”
*act 1* : “instruments of darkness…”
*act 2* : “heat oppressed brain”
*act 4* : “something wicked this way comes”
I’ve let myself fall off… natural 9s with no revision now struggling worrying about passing, I’m going to try to revise now as biology foundation was a wake up call and was so embarrassing walking out the hall and evryone saying the paper was so easy, when I know the paper is easy and yet I also know I haven’t done as well. Better late than never I suppose. Thank you for the video
good luck

Thankyou So Much This is So Helpful and will be used on Monday
I can work really well with the Macbeth question now, luckily I’ve been given extra time for my real exams so I have less worries and also I can focus on my literacy techniques so I can get high marks.
i didn't know schools allowed extra time/postponed exams for some... how?
@@ethereal41 for people with reading difficulties and that
@@ethereal41 a lot of people have extra time or use laptops for typing instead due to dyslexia and things like that, so could be something to do with that
@@stagsophs9572 makes sense... I was told back in year 6 that if my handwriting did not improve I would have to use a laptop to do the exam. My handwriting, in fact, deteriorated, I can't even read it now. I'm scared. My exam is tomorrow.
@@ethereal41 i recommend trying to slow down so that you take the time to make it a little clearer. because it doesn't matter about the quantity of your writing in english lit, it's the quality that's important!
very helpful, thank you Mr everything English
You’re welcome
The Macbeth question was beautiful but wth was A Christmas Carol 😭 caught me so off guard I didn’t realise it’s basically transformations
This amazing person made me move from 2s and 5s in my mocks to 6s

You have literally saved me here. What a legend!
Can you post one like this for jekkyl and Hyde?
Thank you so much bro 😭😭
that test was lovely
2..5 hours before the exam this is coming in clutch
Frr
Walking to school
how did it go ?
@@UnwrittenDetective reckon i got an 8
@@Lovebreakfastt what was the question about
Hi sir, is there anyway you could possibly do one of these for English literature paper 2 for lord of the flies? I’m really stuck on what to say as there aren’t many resources online and your videos are so good
yeahh please do lord of the flies
Wallahi your hoenstly such a legend may Allah reward you
Ameen, thank you
You actually saved me the. Quotes was all relevant tysm ❤
Could you talk about how the witches calling Macbeth wicked is ironic because they are evil themselves
Yepp 1000%
this might just help me clutch up lit, thank you bro
A sinister block of bulding thrust forward its gable. best quote ever.
Setting:
Conotations of sinister (say what this effect does)
Plosives used 'D' (created harsh tone ect)
coupled with Sibilance creating omnious undertones ect
the violent verb thrust shows (explain what it shows)
Prepostion forward (showing how it affects people...)
Impact on reader ect
Link with context and the writers intention
(ofc there is some more things u can add but this overall is a VERY nice little answer!)
could you please explain what the freud:id is I
don't quiet understand the context
i want to know too its making me go insane
Look at his context video
Very helpful thank you sir 😊
what about if they ask to show how Banquo and Macbeth's friendship changes as the play progresses?
for the third quote can i say that the fact that the witches are called "instruments" and lady macbeth tells macbeth to be a 'serpent' links to the idea of a snake charmer and how the witches manipulative nature is shown as similar to how a snake charmer controls a snake as well as foreshadowing his deceitful nature?
bro ur such a legend thank you so much
What fo you mean by freud and id ? 2:19
You know in cartoons where a character is deciding to make a choice i.e whether to steal something or not and they have the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other? The devil is your psychological 'id' and the angel is referred to as your 'super-ego'. I hope this explanation makes sense.

So basically I need to take 2 quotes from this 4 and find two quotes from the extract in exam and write 4 paras????? Please someone reply me quick
Yes
That is exactly what you need to do
But it's fine if you do 3 in depth analysis paras
This is actually so good. Thank you so much it’s is so helpful
Dear Mr Everything English, please let me know if this suffices as a grade 9 AO1 point, before I then go on to analyse the quotes you have explained in the video. Keep up your hard work bossman.
If I get a 8 or 9 in English Lit I will give you £100 through paypal or smth (not joking cos i got 6 in mocks) P.S this point can be adapted to any question (guilt, kingship, supernatural etc.)
The witches' malevolence and duplicitousness catalyse Mabeth into committing regicide, and he is psychologically consumed by guilt as he recognises that his 'unvaulting ambition' (his hamartia), was inextricably linked with his desire to obtain the utmost power and control , causing him to lose any sense of moral conscience as he disregards the eternal, damning consequences of violating the divine right of kings, because Macbeth succumbs to the irresistible allure of supernatural powers.
Got aired
But good writing
isn't it vaulting ambition instead of unvaulting ambition
@@nameinprogress1319 oh yh my bad
@@BillySawAMan cheers billy
can we use these quotes if the question is on other characters in the play.

guys whats fruid in the first paragraph he talks about. can anyone give me a brief explanation

1:21 what does Freud : Id mean??
theres avideo on it
which one goes well with the theme of guilt?
Hi sir I've got a question. When you comparing Macbeths change throughout the play do you do that In one paragraph or do them in two.
you've helped me so much. thank you
sir thank you sm i managed to sneak in heat oppressed brain for my lady macbeth question because of you 💪
can someone tell me how you would incorporate "freud:id" into a sentence for context
Perhaps, Shakespeare was trying to portray Macbeth as the 'id' - from Freud's theory - as he was a slave to his evil desires to satisfy himself and Lady Macbeth to feel like a man in the patriarchal society that existed during the Jacobean era. Additionally, the imagery of him being a slave is further emphasised as he knows committing treason is putting him under pressure but he's willing to do it.
i'm not the best at english but i tried 😭
this is so helpful, thank you so much!! could we get a grade 9 with this?
this makes me so happy 😍
@@capical7585 ???
How do you link these to kingship? The third paragraph and forth.
sir which one of the four quotes link to macbeth's fears
I found macbeth easy because of this video thank you very much
🙏
One for jekyll and Mr hyde please thank you
Are you allowed to add elipsis in the quote in your exam to show that you are ignoring part of the quote?
what does freud id mean at the start for context cos im a bit lost
I was just abt to ask this I’m so cooked😭
@@mahfuzrahman778 idk what it means, but I'd js way instead of using it as context, my English teacher says that we should focus on the big ideas, and the big idea, for thay quote would be that, by letting yourself give in to desires temporarily will lead to suffering, or for something else, the writer teaches that letting yourself be manipulated by evil forces (could be lady macbeth or the supernatural) you will lead yourself to suffering, still didn't find that Freud Id is but hope this helps 👍
You know in cartoons where a character is deciding to make a choice i.e whether to steal something or not and they have the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other? The devil is your psychological 'id' and the angel is referred to as your 'super-ego'. I hope this explanation makes sense.
It’s the morning sir and I’m worried, but let’s see how it goes
Bit late but can you help me understand how to write about the technique of a soliloquy. Im struggling to understand how to write about it as the technique. Thanks
Just say how it shows his inner thoughts and desires not the pretend face he shows to others
Thank you so much
How do these quotes apply to guilt?
Hi I used this in my exam today and it was about Lady Macbeth but now I’m stressing out thinking I’ve lost marks because none of the quotes I used Lady Macbeth saiddd.Can anyone tell me if that matterss tyy
it doesn’t have to be said by lady macbeth. as long as you linked it to how she’s a strong female character, you’re fine
You didn't use one from the extract? And 2 of mine were not from LM I think it's better as we saw the result of her being powerful, i.e., macbeths heat oppressed brain
@Crystallised-jo5td yeah I linked it to how she is strong because she changed macbeth from 'brave noble macbeth' to 'wicked'
@@user-nv7ig3fh2y pretty nice, I talked about the look like the innocent flower but be serpent under it and the heat oppressed brain to show how she is commanding and has control over macbeth
sir can you explain how freud links to the first question i dont know what the worship or survival is
When doing an essay for macbeth, do my quotes in each paragraph have to be in order? After the extract, can i do a paragraph using a quote from act4 and then in the next paragraph jumping to act1, or does it have to be from the start to the end.
No, it doesn't have to be, although you can structure it better if you do.
The first paragraph where you talk on a quote should always be from the extract you are given. The next paragraph just needs to be about a quote from another part of the play that isn't in the extract. Any paragraph after that, just talk about any parts of the play but talking chronologically is a better way especially as there is marks for structure and form.
Do you know Of Mice and Men? If you do please do an essay play like this for OMAM. I need it desperately for my exam on Monday!!!
How can you relate these quotes to guilt anyone??
Is this also for edexcel?
I have already memorised your top 10 quotes from last year so will those quotes be enough or should i memorise your new ones as well?
how could you link these paragraphs to themes like guilt,ambition and supernatural?
how do i show how the witches are presented thats the only thing i cant figure out
Such a lifesaver ❤ thx 🙏
what would be the effect on the first paragraph?
can you please do it for power and conflict poems
Sir, if all questions about Macbeth start with "from this point onwards" why should we memorize quotes from early act 1 if it's unlikely they'll be able to be used
it doesnt say that, it says "starting with the extract" which just means you need to start your first paragraph based on the extract
@@compilationg5423 THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS??? OMG TYYYYY I DIDN'T INTERPRET IT LIKE THAT AT ALL LOL
