Hi Mr Salles,
quick question on your books on literature. I will be buying your GCSE books on:
1. Unseen poetry
2. Power and conflict
3. Macbeth
4. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
5. An inspector calls
Question I have is: if I buy the above, would i need to buy your GCSE English Literature guide? Also you have 2 guides on Macbeth, one is a guide to Macbeth (published 2020) and one is a guide to writing essays on Macbeth (published 2024).
Could you kindly advise me on what to do regarding the English literature book and the Macbeth guides? Do I need to buy them all?
This is for my niece who will be sitting her GCSEs next year.
Kind regards
Womp womp

My teacher showed us the first ~8 minutes of this video at the end of my last English lesson and I was really intrigued by the way you interpreted the text. I’m now making a buncha notes on this before my exam.
I like the way you connected Lady Macbeth to Macbeth as it gives a reason why she is so different to the perceived idea of a woman at the time
You are the kind of student I hope will find my videos. And thank you to your teacher
Thank you Mr.Salles for this video. If it weren't for this, I would be absolute dead meat without you. I will return here in august with my results (for paper1 and overall). thank you.
my exam is tmr. and this is the only revison i will have done for macbeth.

I just want to say a big thank you to Mr Salles!! You have giving others and I confidence through these tough times. Good luck everyone, we will all do well whatever outcome that will be! (:
I’ve been learning Macbeth since September 2022 and I only just understood it after watching this granted I watched it back to back 4-5 times but what ever it takes I see myself as the guy who proved it’s never too late. The only thing I still struggle with is translating Shakespearean words 😂
That’s amazing dedication. Watch a video of the play with subtitles on to get used to the language

Bit late but here goes nothing
YOU'RE VIDEO MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE THAN SUMMARIES I HEARD
I wrote every word you said on paper it’s like 5-6 pages long welp but thanks a lot.
Could you make one of these for Jekyll and Hyde and Inspector Calls as well, please?
Sir this literally blessed me with the Lady Macbeth question being able to link Lady Macbeths flames and I used a fatal flaw of hers being hubris thank you 🙌
Thank you smmm! Do you have a video on Christmas carol like this one?
Mr Salles the goat at increasing the depth of my analysis
Mr salles, this was an amazing video - could you do similar ones for both a Christmas carol and an inspector calls? This format of video is easily the best - and easiest to consume.
this makes so much more sense to me
your videos are so helpful
I'm so glad!
This came just in time
This changed my perspective of viewing Macbeth. I thought it was his ambition - his hamartia guess I was wrong
respect goes to you sir mr Salles
that was fast
I just completed my mock exam- could have needed this a few hours ago 💀
But I’ll return to this video once we’re closer to GCSE’s (I’m year 11)
I watched your previous videos on Macbeth and they were really helpful.
I did 7 pages for my Macbeth essay.
Will update with results
Awesome
How do you do seven pages, is it that you write many paragraphs or write a lot per paragraph and how do you write that much in 45 mins(apart from writing speed) is it that you know everything before the exam or you're that guy who has alot of ideas in the exam
@divineolabode1707
Firstly, to clarify, when I say 7 pages, I mean 7 sides.
Secondly, to answer your question, I’m honestly both- I have a lot of ideas and I know a lot of knowledge from revision.
I think I’m able to write a lot for a few reasons:
- In terms of my paragraphs they tend to be really long- I add 3-5 quotes per paragraph, analysis and context in each paragraph. So each ‘paragraph” is around one to one and a half pages long. + introduction and conclusion.
I make a whole plan as soon as I read the question for the text, spending 5-10 minutes planning means I don’t need to spend time thinking about quotes and ideas whilst writing. My plan consists of the main idea I want for each paragraph a few quotes and a link to context. (I tend to write as many quotes as possible on the text page which I may or may not use in my answer) planning really helps as all my ideas are already jotted down and all I have to do is re-write it but with more analysis and depth in my answer.
-I’m a pretty fast writer
-I enjoy English so I really like analysis and I don’t find it difficult
@@Justarandominternetperson thanks for this indepth. (my paragraphs are usually half a page long lol but i'm just starting to get english so i'll improve)
@@Justarandominternetperson Woah
This was super useful, however, how could I link this to kingship? (as thats the question Im seeing everyone predict)
Really useful, how to make it even better: add chapters for ease of our navigation
Yes!
Thank you so much for the video! The idea of bloodlust and psychological insight really helped my understanding of the play! Just one question, in 31:04 if Macbeth already knew the witches were lying why do we see so much fear later on and he says "I pull in resolution and begin to doubt th'equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth." why does he only begin to doubt now? Is he in denial?
I think he is in denial about his own stupidity- but you can disagree
You are a fabulous beast
Hi Mr Salles, please could you let me know how many quotes is good for Banquo and Macduff? Also do you have a prediction on a what the question for Macbeth will be?
Hi sir, please could you let me know how many quotes would be good to remember for Banquo and MacDuff?
is this useful for edexcel
God bless you sir
Thank you for this brilliant video, Mr Salles, you're actually making Macbeth interesting to revise for :D
Just a question about the river of blood metaphor at point 27:23:
Would Macbeth going back, stopping killing, and being left with the memories of all those he has already killed be bad because he would eventually be haunted by guilt from those memories? (Because he would be taking time away from killing and would inevitably have time to reflect on the killing memories, leading to guilt). Earlier on in the scene, the guilt from killing lead to him seeing Banquo's ghost outed himself as the Duncan killer to the nobles, leading to them becoming suspicious and therefore his inability to kill as much and pursue his love for killing without the threat of being found out and overthrown - if that happend he wouldn't be able to fight and kill anymore. By not being consumed by guilt, do you think Macbeth thinks news of his killings is less likely to slip out again, like it did when he was under the influence of guilt - linking again to the psychological understanding of himself.
Or do you think it's as simple as Macbeth being hungry for more memories of killing, seeking the thrills and highs he gets off it?
Basically would you say it's strategic to move to carry on through the river in order to avoid guilt and in turn being more likely to keep doing what he loves, or rather an instinctual desire to pursue his bloodlust?
(Sorry if this is a complete late night revision waffle session 😅)
ollie mate im going to get Mrs copeland to eat you x
GCSE on monday, just wanted to know how you would analyse their structure in speech (e.g. iambic pentameter)
Use of prose: murderers(lower class) Lady mb because she goes mad and Macbeth when he speaks with the murderers he adopts their way of speaking to gain their trust
Also trochaic tetrameter which is only used by the witches coupled with the frequential rhyming couplets creates a mysterious spellbinding effect
Sir you are too good
rip lady macbeth you would've loved therapy
this video is great man i got my exams in 2 days. Thank you very much!
Can i write about ambition aswell as his bloodlust or does it have to be one or the other?
Yes you can!
you're the best
thank you for this video! one question i'd like to ask is, im okay at remembering quotes and finding methods, but then i get stuck on what to do there. so for the first quote. unseam'd... id pick out unseamd as a gruesome verb which shows macbeth is a violent character and what not, but then i have no clue what to right about writers intentions, is there any way you could help with this? thanks!
Talk about Macbeths character (isation) and how this links to anything later on and why Shakespeare revealed this + said it like that. E.g use contrasting beliefs like it shows the strong traits that Macbeth has as a warrior e.g fearless but it is the starting point which reveals his blood lust and love for murder / early reveal to his hamartia
Thank you!!!! Amazing video. Do we need to analyse both language and structure in our Macbeth essays?
Either/or. Both fall under the AO2 analysis 🙂
@@monajames2379thank you!! 😁
The GOAT
I got a 6 in the mocks with no revision, can I get a 9 if I’m revising the day before?
Yes if you do unique analysis and be critical in your explanations. Also watch grade 9 model structure to use in the exam.
@@tropicalland4552 my teacher says I can get a grade 8 or 9 easily but she doesn’t know I haven’t revised. In class I’m getting constant 7s and 8s
How does this link to guilt ?
IM COOKED
You are the GOAT
Macbeth does eventually overcome his hamartia (somewhat) when he absolutely refuses to kill Duncan - ‘We will proceed no further in this business.’
Until Lady Macbeth changes his mind in 45 lines, and he says ‘I am settled.’ Unless Macbeth needed that extra push (Lady Macbeth’s ambition) and deliberately made it seem as though he wasn’t going to kill Duncan, in order to make her more certain and stirred up about killing the king, and pulling himself further into the deed of regicide. Perhaps he knew from the moment the prophecy was said that he would kill Duncan, and only needed the extra shove from Lady Macbeth in order to do so, so he acts like he won’t kill Duncan. Maybe he understands her and himself so well psychologically that he knows he needs to also stir her up even more. Or not. I hope that made sense.
Yes, I totally agree with your interpretation of their relationship
Even if i didn’t, it is very well argued
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Thanks for the response.
I’ve thought about it and disagree with what I said earlier- there’s not enough evidence to show that Macbeth went out of his way to purposefully evoke a reaction from Lady Macbeth at his change in mind about killing Duncan.
On another note, could I argue that the scene with Banquo’s ghost whilst they are eating is symbolic of The Last Supper? The religious imagery in the play is endless already, but even at that time Macbeth asks for wine - and at the Last supper Jesus says his wine is his blood, so drink it and a part of Jesus will be in you. Jesus is betrayed at the last supper like Banquo and Duncan are, by someone they thought they could trust, eventually leading to their deaths (Jesus being killed on the cross as well) . And Jesus, who is said to be God in human form. It solidifies how Macbeth’s betrayal is such an extreme act against God, as well as his bloodlust that is prevalent even during a dinner (him asking for wine, aka blood, perhaps thinking he can still be a part of God because of Jesus’ teachings, but I’m not too sure on that one). Maybe the candle light that you talked about ‘out, out brief candle’ shows how Macbeth has finally accepted he can’t be apart of God and is condemned to hell, especially after worshipping Lady Macbeth like you said, which would be a major sin as Lady Macbeth is obviously not God. Sorry if this didn’t make sense!

Have you done this for Christmas Carol too?
Sir i hope u get whatever u want in you life bc you give everything we need for any exam 😭🤌🏻

So if I got a question on ambition, how do I twist that and talk about Macbeth’s desire to kill?
Today is Monday I js woke up and I'm going to school pray for me
Please do Macbeth and Macolm analysis
Hi Mr Salles, I have found this video really useful but I'm slightly confused on where the witches lie to Macbeth. I thought they equivocated which leads to Macbeth to jump to his own conclusions about the prophecies. Which part are you referring to when you said they lie?
Well, when they say none of women born shall harm Macbeth. Macduff’s mother was certainly a woman, and killing her off in childbirth doesn’t really change that fact.
which quotes should we memorise for macbeth?
I have a video on that
Got my mocks on acc and macbeth praying im able to remember these wish me luxk
No luck, write them down and test yourself on them.

Hi mr salles, I have my gcse very soon and I was just wondering whether we could get Banquo or MacDuff as a question. If so, could these quotes be used for them aswell?
Probably not these characters. 100% these quotes if they do.
can i make a grade 9 macbeth essay at gcse based on just this information?
Link it to your question as well and bring relevant context and such
Hello Mr sallaes , Thank you so much for this briliant video, The part of pyscology into the play is truly critical , ( Tbh I enjoyed it throughout) But THIS IDEA of macbeth 's actions being driven by the blood lust is completely new idea and I in fact mentioned it in my previous essay about Macbeth 's violence . I said that it is not his ambition that drives him to commit violent action but it his obbession to kil which is because of violence being a key trait of masculinity , I connected the idea of blood as a motif to macbeth 's blood lust .But For some reason I had huge question mark from my teacher with "Not sure " , I could understand this is typical opposite of our Teaching on how macbeth is driven by ambition , but would an examiner accept such ideas ? It would be great if you could make a video on how you would apply these analysis into past paper question essay because Essay structure is one of the hardest parts of literature . Thank you so much for your time and effort
You will need to analyse ‘I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent but vaulting ambition…’ to show that ambition is not enough and will lead to a fall, or failure. Otherwise they won’t get what you mean.

I feel like Mr Salles is some sort of Mob Boss because he has an army willing to do anything for him 😭 Thank you so much, I owe your account so much 😭
I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me. I've found this interpretation really interesting, however I don't understand what it means when Macbeth says ‘We will proceed no further in this business.’ If he is psychologically aware of Lady Macbeth's response and hoping that she will take care of the practicalities so that he can commit regicide, why does he almost decide against this? And what would the significance be of Lady Macbeth emasculating and convincing him to continue with their plan? To me that's always come across as her manipulating her husband, so I would be interested on how this fits in with your interpretation. Thank you so much!
got my lit exam tommorow bro saved my life
how would you link writers intention to this??????????????
oh so shakespeare telling nobles or peoplle close to king to not commit regicide otherwise youll end up as an anti-hero
Brilliant video but the only issue is that I’m not sure how I would make a thesis statement to introduce these ideas

need to understand asap
macbeth's bloodlust contrasted to lady macbeth being haunted by a motif of blood (to symbolise her guilt) is also shakespeare's way of condemning their relationship

Hello Sir,
I see there are different interpretations for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship as I had previously gathered that his greed for power had made much so that he eventually loses interest in his wife which makes him even more evil. So my question is does the way we see the characters really affect our answers and marks and if it does which interpretation is best to follow?
Argue the interpretation you prefer

Is this a reupload? It seems the same as the video from 15/01/24 🙂
Ah, damn! My mistake- I’m uploading a video every day, and got sidetracked
33:50 As a Christian myself, it genuinely annoys me when every single English teacher somehow gets most religious things wrong. If you do one bad thing, such as killing the King, that doesn't send you to Hell. If you believe in Jesus and place your faith in him then you go to Heaven. We all have sinned except for Jesus and so deserve Hell as Romans 6:23 says the wage of sin is death. Jesus took on our sin on that cross and if we place our faith in him then we go to Heaven. It doesn't matter how much you have messed up, repent and turn to Jesus is what Christians preach. You are correct about Jesus being the light of the world and a candle being used to signify that so i commend you for that. Other than that, this video was exceptionally good and I have so many notes I'm sure will prove very useful in my gcse. Thank you :)
Thanks for the clarification too
