Blood Brothers - Foreshadowing and the Subversion of Expectations
Fantastic insight!! I’ve been wracking my brain trying to understand how her debilitating guilt at the end is not out of character for her. This definitely provides an explanation for that extreme reversal.
This is great. Could you argue that Macbeth's anagnorisis is during his "Tomorrow" speech when he realises he is nothing but a 'poor player' whose actions have amounted to nothing? Or does it have to be the realisation he was tricked by the witches?
My English teacher is also called Peter. Either that's a coincidence or...
this helped me so much , thank you st peters
quality
this is amazing. I'v really struggled to find resources on this novel and on the day of my exam, I couldn't have found a better video.
helped me a lot thank you
Who on earth put a dislike on this glorious video
GREAT VIDEO :)
Greeeaaat job!..👏👏👏👏👏👏 congratulations!.. sharing this with us is so kind of you. Thank you very much.
Wow thank you so much for making such an amazing video, I want to write an essay about how Macbeth is a tragic hero but there are so many imperfect facts when it comes down to it, I am extremely struggling which side to choose yet I feel he is more like a tragic hero than just evil or a villain if you would, but thanks a lot this really made me think about what I should write about.
Thank you so much, I’m supposed to write an essay on this topic tomorrow and your analysis helped me out a lot in setting up my essay plan and recognizing the conditions that must be met in order to categorize Macbeth’s character, I admire and appreciate your help!
this is one of the best literature analysis videos ive seen. thank you so much.
Thanks a lot that was great help
Nice
We don't see his good qualities for ourselves? ... what about his last courageous attempt to restore lost honour, despite his full understanding of his fate? great video otherwise
epic
Thanks for this. Long story short my English teacher assigned me, multiple essays to write. Literally back to back. She gave me 2 fucking days to read the damn Book. Now she rushing me to write an essay on why Macbeth is a tragic hero. This lady needs to slow the fuck down. She need to realize that her class is not the only class i fucking have. Im so damn pissed and vexed by this type of behavior.
would you be able to do 1of these vids on macbeth
very helpful, thank you
That intermission though... 10/10 - IGN
Thank u! 😘😁
Thanks got some good notes to prepare for a grade 9 responses next year
Pip was always keenly aware of the shortcomings in Estella's character but chose to overlook them.
I disagree with your argument against the conventional 'Happy Ending". I believe the description of Estella having 'softened" or changed in the years between when Pip spoke to her last warrants a bit more hope for the reader about a potential relationship between the two. I really enjoy your take. Going to have to re-read. Cheers!
what would the themes and motifs be for all the quotes you mentioned?
thank you!!!!!!
I got made to watch this for English send help
Thank you very much! Your videos are brilliant and so helpful - I will make sure to spread the word:D
