  • This is the fifth video in my '"An Inspector Calls" GCSE English Literature Revision' series!
    In this video, I focus on the character of Gerald Croft, and discuss the ten quotations that I best feel sum him up, and are most useful to analyse in relation to his character. I complete A LOT of verbal analysis in this video, so much sure that you're listening and that you have a pen and paper to hand!
    I also discuss what J. B. Priestley's possible intentions may have been when he was writing this character - why did he make Gerald the way he is?

    My teacher sucks and without these videos I'm sure I would be doing crap in English, because of it. Thanks for making them!

      I'm sure your teacher isn't anywhere as near as bad as you make them out to be, but I'm very glad you're finding these videos to be helpful all the same! 😊

    These videos are really helpful. Maybe with the 'I'm rather more - upset' quote the dashes could also suggest hesitation as he may not be telling the truth/ is faking his distress in order to get away.

    Thanks so much for this! I'm convinced that EDUQAS could be Gerald and I watched your video on Mr Birling yesterday as well. They've really helped because in school all they're focusing on is blame and obviously it may not be blame so THANKSSS

    Amazing video! Doing this on Wednesday 25th May along with Macbeth, and I was quite worried incase Gerald came up because he's the character I feel there's the least to talk about. Thank you!

    Great video - very helpful, but at 5:15 is it Gerald or Sheila that come from an "old country family" ?

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can't click on my video at the moment, but the quotation relates to Gerald's mum (and therefore Gerald by extension)!

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's hard to say, really! If major characters / themes haven't come up yet, I would be inclined to think they will come up soon. That being said, I know that some of exam boards have started to repeat / use similar questions (e.g. focusing on the same character or a closely related theme), so I wouldn't bank on it either!
