@@Hi-uj4zj Nope! These alone were incredibly valuable in the exam. You will have a greater chance if you memorize some from his previous videos but these were enough for me
Hi Mr Salles, I just got my literature mock back from march, and I got 26/30 for my macbeth essay, all because of your analysis of the "vaulting ambition" quote and how it links to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship. (The last time I did a literature mock I hadn't seen any of your videos and I just scraped a step 5.) Your content is golden, cannot thank you enough.
Mr Salles, thank you so much you don't understand, as a student that find English a difficult subject, you are really making it easier for me to understand and giving me hope with passing my exam with a good grade. Keep it up ! :)
Something we covered in class- the 'innocent flower' and the 'serpent under't' refer directly to the medallion that James I had produced to signify the horrors of the recent Gunpowder Plot. Search 'James 1 gunpowder plot medallion' to see what I mean. The innocent flower may be the reflection of the people hiding their treachery to the King, and the serpent their real, backstabbing intentions. The serpent also links to the similar semantic field with the 'mind full of scorpions'. Thanks so much for your videos Sir, you're a lifesaver!!!!
mr salles this is absolutely wonderful - its a shame it doesn't have more views. I will definitely spread the work around school tell others of 'a magical way to get grade nines!'(aka mr salles). KEEP AT IT BUDDY, GOOD CONTENT NEVER GOES UNNOTICED. also - a bit of advice: try to start videos directly with the content - the viewer already knows what the video will be about(they have already read the title)
the 'blood will have blood' quote reminds me of how it says in the bible an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth this emphasises how Macbeth will be punished not just at the hands of humans but at the hands of God. Divine retribution.
Thanks sooo much , these quotes really helped me in the exam today. Couldn't have done it without them and their amazing word-level analysis. Thanks you sooo much😊 😊😊
Sir appreciate your energy and effort! Thank you for contastnyl being active. You make learning sound found. I find English really boring. But to learn, I only come to your channel as I know that your voice is gonna boost my energy. Also, love the quality of this video. Would appreciate if you make more!
In light of the fact that "False face must hide what the false heart doth know." comes from Macbeth in response to Lady Macbeth (Act 1, Scene 7) and not Lady Macbeth herself, here is an alternate interpretation stemming from the main points of the original analysis. CONTEXT: Patriarchal society says it is men in control yet it is Macbeth who is influenced by his wife. This parallels/mirrors the story of Adam and Eve as Macbeth succumbs to Lady Macbeth's reasoning and influence, once again proving his trust and love in her. Shakespeare suggests the original sin still prevails in Jacobean Society. The use of fricatives in Macbeth's speech suggest power and aggression traditionally associated with the stereotypical male of the time. Through Macbeth's speech, Shakespeare may be questioning the role of women as having greater evil but also more influence which they can only achieve through their husbands and/or male relatives. He questions how/why women obtain power and whether they are evil for seeking it or men, instead, for denying it and leading women to obtain it through ungodly and corrupt ways.
Hello sir. I'm aware that it's of course absolutely necessary to explore connotations of key words and techniques used in macbeth quotes but how about animal farm? Do you have to closely examine each quote and discuss the various meanings and analyse each word?? Because I was told I should but I can't quite see how that makes sense - it's not like poetry or something where there are deep meanings to each line and there are millions of techniques to choose from. Cheers
Hello Sir, i was just wondering if you could make the same video for quotes in Dr jekyll & Mr Hyde and if you could possibly make a video predicting what you think the question will be for the 2022 exams for Macbeth and J&H. Thank you!!!
Hey Mr Salles, I wanted to ask, for longer quotes like the one at 9:52, should you write out the whole quote in the exam? My teacher says to write short and concise quotes.
Your teacher is right, but sometimes you might want to delve into different parts of a longer quote, so use an ellipsis to get rid of the words you don't need.
Hi mr salles, Dk if u remember me but I used to watch your videos for Macbeth and I was one of the first few ppl to purchase your ‘ultimate guide to Macbeth’ analysis book which got me a grade 9 (although I didn’t take my GCSEs!) Everything in there was so analytical and contextually very good aswell. I was wondering if you can produce a book like this for Shakespeare’s Othello (A level). Thank you
Lady Ms advise could have been less to do with regicide but more with telling him to be patient but she chooses not too, Clearly Macbeth gets manipulated by Lady M so easily, and so he becomes Lady M, he does as she say and becomes her, if only she were a man she could be so violent. So therefore when she dies, her legacy does keep going through what she shaped in Macbeth, but of cores it falls because Shakespeare message is to convince nobles not to commit regicide. This can further be proven as they do both say 'out, out'
hi sir, are you thinking of doing a level videos in the future? because i think i'm going to pick english lit as i'm now doing so well in gcse thanks to u, but i honestly don't know how i'd be able to cope without ur videos.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thanks, i'm just worried about the content being overwhelming. at the sixth form i hope to go to some of the texts are handmaid's tail, othello, death of a salesman and the kite runner which i think are quite popular
Throughout the play disrupting the great chain through regicide is presented as a damned act So why would at 30:44 would Shakespeare want to go against this idea and say well actually we should ignore the great chain completely it’s not productive for ourselves or society? I don’t get this part
Does anyone know why at around 10:36, he says Lady Macbeth represents a “spur” followed by saying that he has no spur, despite the analysis saying that he is giving Lady Macbeth power?
“I have no spur” suggests that Macbeth doesn’t have the motivation to kill without his wife. But later Lady Macbeth acts as the spur to influence the murder and he is motivated to commit the murder to prove his masculinity as well as please his wife. she is the reason he commits it and she is also using her husband to take power as well, as in a patriarchal, male dominated society a woman would need to use her husband if that makes sense
Do ur interpretation, explain what it means, add a quotation, go into any symbolism or/ and context, back it up with a supporting quote, in that quote zoom in on a word/language feature/ structural feature, anything you wish & then link it back to the question
@@n5ors so like Macbeth's hides his sinister intentions through desiring to look innocent so that no suspicions can be raised against him (Interpretation) . This reflects Macbeth's accelerating regecidal ambition which ultimately bring the Jacobean audience suprised, especially King James who is Shakespeare's richest patron(explaination and context). This can be seen through the juxtaposition(language) 'Let light not see my deep black desires'(quote) . Furthermore, the adjective (zoom)'deep' (word) implies how Macbeth's thoughts of regecide will not be changed as his collosal ambition has ultimately taken over him. (explain and link)
@@Hi-uj4zj when i did questions i was able to answer most, nearly all, so yes. But ive got his guide now so im using other quotes aswell for the final exam

make one for an inspector calls, it's very helpful
And that hubris is students saying 'I watched Mr Salles, I'm gonna get a 9' and then they end up getting 3's due to their pride.
Ha ha ha!

Sorry, I've just written one for Romeo and Juliet which no one is buying! There is even less interest in Othello.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish :( I’m so sorry to hear that- and okay I understand, thanks for letting me know :)
i found the contex and themes on the paper really helpful to link quotes with is there anything similar with a christmas carol
Lady Ms advise could have been less to do with regicide but more with telling him to be patient but she chooses not too, Clearly Macbeth gets manipulated by Lady M so easily, and so he becomes Lady M, he does as she say and becomes her, if only she were a man she could be so violent.

Hi Mr Salles these quotes are amazing! i just was wondering if you could tell me what theme each quote would work well with
You need to watch my video on the themes of Macbeth
Mr Salles, is 'False face must hide what the false heart doth know' a quote from Macbeth, not Lady Macbeth?
Mr salles if we have multiple interpretations for a character in an exam how do you write about both interpretations for example Sheila
hi sir thank you for these videos could you possibly do a video on macduff with good quotes to use
Hello this is very helpful is there anyway you can do the same for Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde
Yes, I will do if this one takes off.
hi sir, are you thinking of doing a level videos in the future? because i think i'm going to pick english lit as i'm now doing so well in gcse thanks to u, but i honestly don't know how i'd be able to cope without ur videos.
Of course you will cope! I am not making ALevel vids at the minute, but if you have a popular text, I may do so
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thanks, i'm just worried about the content being overwhelming. at the sixth form i hope to go to some of the texts are handmaid's tail, othello, death of a salesman and the kite runner which i think are quite popular
Do I need to learn any other quotes about Banquo or Macduff beacuse all the wuotes r about macbeth and lady macbeth and a bit on the witches?
lady macbeth didn't say the 7th quote, macbeth did, it was the very last line of act 1 scene 7
Could you please do The Woman in Black by Susan Hill? Your videos really hit the next level :)
Sorry, it isn't a text I teach
If i only learn these quotes, will it be enough?
Throughout the play disrupting the great chain through regicide is presented as a damned act
