Can you link when it says "Sleep shall neither night nor day hang upon his penthouse lid" as a foreshadowing of Lady Macbeth's fate because she sleep walks later in the play?
Unbelievably helpful. Forever grateful to you Mr Bruff. If you don't mind, I would like page numbers when you select quotes. But other than that, it was awesome. Thank you so much
The problem with that is that different versions of the play use different page numbers. By not saying them, anyone with any form of the play can understand/not get confused.
that’s because on boat back from norway area, king james and his wife hit a spell off rough wind and blamed the witches which inspired a lot of which trials across europe
+Tobi Bello thanks. The ideas in this video come from the guide at mrbruff.com which was written by Mr Tobin, so he's the one you should be admiring :)
Hi guys I need some advice HOW TO DO YOU TAKE THE I FOMATION FROM THIS VIDEO AND REVISE IT? Not just remembering it, but linking and preparing for the questions.
flash cards. on one side write the quotes and informayion on the other side their meaning and just read the front then see if you can remember the back. i doubt you'd find this useful after two years but it should help others
Can you help me find a quote of Macbeth trying to convince Banquo about the witches prophecies, I faintly remember it being something about how Banquo's sons will be kings
idk if you mention this anywhere but it's weird that Banquo doesn't react much to the witches. I mean any normal person at that time probably would have wanted to kill them immediately yet he is not interested. I don't know though. Does that say anything about his character?
But in history we see that a witch can be anyone, in this he might just think that it's a very strange woman so why risk possibly killing a normal woman?
I'm definitely too late but it's to show the they influence macbeth through the power of suggestion which creates a link with lady macbeth ("pour my spirits in thine ear") and also foreshadows macbeth's downfall and makes the audience wonder how his fall was due to his own hand
it also shows how evil the witches have been, killing innocent animals just becasue they can- and sayijg it so naturally shows they’ve done it before and it is a normality. sorry 4 years late for this one lol
No that's iambic pentameter. You can tell by the first stress. When he says "so foul and fair" the stresses are on the second and fourth syllables - "foul" and "fair". When the witches say "Fair is foul" the stresses are reversed - they are on the first and third syllables. An iamb is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed while a trochee is a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed.
Hi, could you give me some examples of where Macbeth speaks in a similar style to the witches (e.g. rhyming couplet/trochaic tetrameter)? I have found one example with ""mock the time with fairest show" and "false face must hide what the false heart doth know" but I can't find any others and would love to use it in an essay. Thank You!
this wont help you now but it may help others. at various points in the play macbeth speaks in prose like all the common characters in the play for example in macbeths letter to lady macbeth
@@mrbruff I'm finding it difficult to choose quotes and add more and more layers of meaning as well as linking them to wider themes. Its so hard to do. Do you have any ideas on how to make notes (or anything else) to do this?
5 years later and he’s still saving our generation.

I ain't reading allat
legend
doing my GCSE English this year this is my first time watching him and it's amazing so helpful
Would you be able to do videos on themes, contexts and characters? Thank you
Can you link when it says "Sleep shall neither night nor day hang upon his penthouse lid" as a foreshadowing of Lady Macbeth's fate because she sleep walks later in the play?

another interesting point: the witches controlling wind is found in James 1st's daemonologie....Shakespeare was trying to impress himm
Don't mind me, I'll just be putting that in my homework.
@@tanjo4 same loll.
that’s because on boat back from norway area, king james and his wife hit a spell off rough wind and blamed the witches which inspired a lot of which trials across europe
He accidentally put the video intro on twice!😂
you're so smart!! you amaze my brain. thank you!

What do u expect...Mr Bruff is my teacher and everyone else's.....Mr Bruff u teach better then my actual English teacher
helping me out till this day
Hi guys I need some advice

Do you hope your children shall be kings, When those that gave the Thane of cawdor to me promised no less to them
idk if you mention this anywhere but it's weird that Banquo doesn't react much to the witches. I mean any normal person at that time probably would have wanted to kill them immediately yet he is not interested. I don't know though. Does that say anything about his character?
this is very true
But in history we see that a witch can be anyone, in this he might just think that it's a very strange woman so why risk possibly killing a normal woman?
Banquo is much more skeptic about the supernatural,which is why he doesn't care about the prophesies as much as Macbeth who's more naive
when ur english teacher couldnt teach for their life so r here 🙃
yup
what's the point of how Shakespeare implies how the witches don't have enough power to kill/undermines their power?
@Viper V that's a nice interpretation thanks.
I'm definitely too late but it's to show the they influence macbeth through the power of suggestion which creates a link with lady macbeth ("pour my spirits in thine ear") and also foreshadows macbeth's downfall and makes the audience wonder how his fall was due to his own hand
why are you better than my english teacher
8 years later hes still a hero
Can you please analyse characters individually like what you did with Jekyll and Hyde
Thank u so much. Greetings from Germany
Is there any significance when one of the witches has been away killing swine?
well whenever a pig was found dead, people would blame witchcraft as a pig was seen as a special ingredient used in spells and magic
it also shows how evil the witches have been, killing innocent animals just becasue they can- and sayijg it so naturally shows they’ve done it before and it is a normality. sorry 4 years late for this one lol
there are two intros
When macbeth says "so foul and fair...." and so on is that trochaic tetrameter??? But loving these some clips of each scene! Thank you soo much!
No that's iambic pentameter. You can tell by the first stress. When he says "so foul and fair" the stresses are on the second and fourth syllables - "foul" and "fair".
