My daughter watched your video last night. A quick 40 minute cram before her mock today. On collecting her from school, her first words were ‘that video!! It was SO helpful, my paper was easy’. She was literally beaming. Now she’s going to watch all your videos. Wish you could do maths too… if only!
That is awesome! Sorry about the maths.

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

I've just learnt more from you in 40minuets than i have in english lit over my last 5 years, Thank you!
This is the most helpful video I've ever watched on youtube, I really like your interpretation, thank you for this
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 so much- I was so confused about how to write anything in either literature paper but your videos are so helpful!

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
Blood is the currency that buys or maintains power. Warring is the lifeblood of the state. Killing in service of the state is legitimised and indeed glorified. But the image of rebellion shows the state already turned against itself. In the bloodlust and euphoria post battle, and within the context of a warring society - already at war with itself - it is an easier leap to take throne for yourself (and wife) especially when it has already been supernaturally prophesied.
Very well argued, thanks for posting this
I'm using this in my essay.
Thank you so much for these videos! Good luck everyone today :)
YOU'RE VIDEO MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE THAN SUMMARIES I HEARD

Same!!!
Did it pay off?
@@sebastiannyamambi4559 bro I got a 4💀💀. I was predicted grade 6 whole year
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 changed my perspective of viewing Macbeth. I thought it was his ambition - his hamartia guess I was wrong
Really useful, how to make it even better: add chapters for ease of our navigation
Yes!
Also, really helpful and interesting video, thanks!
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
If Macbeth loved to kill, why was he so reluctant to kill Duncan why did he feel so guilty about it? Same with Banquo why does he feel guilt then ?
hey Mr Salles it is possible if you can bookmark all the different points in the video? It would be very helpful to try and see all the key ideas and events that I can jump to. Thanks!

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish it would depend on the question, as I feel like I would struggle to link these events to quotes and to the question
this is actually really interesting with the new ideas i love it
Thanks
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
Yep, as an actor. My thoughts exactly: why does he kill the king, when the prophesy is he will become king. And he even questions it himself. Good stuff teach…
I love that my videos can be interesting to a wide range of viewers- my sister is an actor too - tough life!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Too right. I love Shakespeare. It was an adolescent visceral reaction to 1Henry IV that set me on my way to becoming an actor. It's folks like yourself and the good directors I've worked with, that help to articulate what I love about it.
rip lady macbeth you would've loved therapy
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
This wasnt written in this era there are going to be clear differences in the religious ideologies at the time.
@@keiovdx Christianity is Christianity. The message about Jesus' death and resurrection has been the same for the last 2024 years and even before that when it was prophecied about.

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 question was "how is lady Macbeth presented as a strong female character?" And I still managed to use alot of your points in my answer!! It was so useful I might do good in my lit exam thank you!!
Well done!
I’m in school rn got a mock in like 2 hours 😭 pray for me guys 🙏
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
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!
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.
@MrSallesTeachesEnglish just finished them .I did so bad.i think I failed english lit .I panicked and forgot everything. Forgot how to write .hopefully language saves me
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish ant tip for language
Thank you so much, u are amazing!
This was super useful, however, how could I link this to kingship? (as thats the question Im seeing everyone predict)
This came just in time
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
Nice idea! 😎
This is the best thank you😊
I start year 11 tomorrow and my English grade is slipping 😅 this is my first start before I stress for 8 months 🫡
Bit late but here goes nothing
Today is Monday I js woke up and I'm going to school pray for me
Thank you Mr Salles, how do I implement this knowledge and what is the best way to revise all the themes thank you! I'm going into yr11 this September so a little nervous :)
Make notes under headings. Use them to write essays
So if I got a question on ambition, how do I twist that and talk about Macbeth’s desire to kill?
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!
you said that Lady Macbeth's baby recently died, so why is it not mentioned more in the play? You would have thought that losing her child would give more grief to Lady Macbeth and Macbeth, is there a reason Shakespere did this?
I was actually thinking the same thing. None of the study guides or even reading the play again bring up this. It's kind of interesting actually because you would think that it would be one of the very important and major contributions as to how and why both macbeth and lady macbeth acted.
Please do Macbeth and Macolm analysis
is this useful for edexcel
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!
@@araaav mind-blowing interpretation
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
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?
hey mr salles what do u think of this interpretation of macbeth reaction the prophecies ->
In the quote " why do i yield to the suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair" shakespeare shows the audience that the act of regicide is abnormal to macbeth and macbeth had a chance to do good as he knew that "chance may crown me without my stir" suggest that he would be able to become king through inaction rather than murder. However the reason why macbeth quickly runs to the suggestion of murder is because he became thane of cawdor by "unseaming" macdonwald "from the nave to the chops" .
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.

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
Hi sir, please could you let me know how many quotes would be good to remember for Banquo and MacDuff?
Wait but I thought he didn't sleep at all after the murder.
God bless you sir
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.
your videos are so helpful
I'm so glad!
