Best way to use lit theory for top grade lit analysis (with DYSTOPIA JUNKIE)

I'm so incredibly excited about this video, which is a collab with Liam aka Dystopia Junkie aka Mr Knight, a fellow passionate English edutuber whose videos are an excellent learning resource for GCSE and lit students. By using one of the most famous passages by Lady Macbeth ("unsex me here"), we illustrate how you can use a variety of interpretative approaches to analyse a Shakespearean text.
In Part I of our collab (which is over at the Dystopia Junkie channel), we cover formalist (close reading) and contextual reading; in Part II - this video - we level up by exploring more advanced approaches such as feminist, reader-response and psychoanalytic criticism. If you aspire to be a TOP GRADE lit student, then this is definitely a video that you don't want to miss.

So excited that we can finally share this collaboration with everyone, Jen! I hope everyone finds it as interesting as I did when we were making it!

Your channel is honestly amazing! Keep making videos :)
Also do you think you can make a video on An Inspetor Calls ??

[@JenChan]

Thanks Lara - I'm glad this helps! I will get round to AIC at some point, but for now I'd like to focus on Shakespeare (Macbeth/R&J/Othello etc.), poetry and fiction. What other texts do you study? :)

[@laracroft9204]

@@JenChan I study an inspector calls and jekyll and hyde - I will also be doing macbeth soon as I'm in year 11 so I'll be watching your videos on it :)

[@jasw642]

tysm! would you be able to make a video on atonement in the future?

[@JenChan]

Hmmm 'Atonement' is frankly a bit too niche for my total audience, but I'll consider doing something on Ian McEwan / contemporary English authors at some point! Thanks for suggesting :)

Thak you so much, this was amazing however I have one question: for the psychoanalytical reading of Lady Macbeth would it be appropriate for me to write about her desire to be sexually satisfied in the GCSE? I just don't want it to be seen as explicit or anything like that

[@JenChan]

Ah, I understand where you're coming from. As long as your analysis makes sense given the quotations/evidence you've provided, and flows from a logical line of argument, then I don't see why commenting on Lady Macbeth's sexuality should be taboo. There are, after all, references to "come to my women's breasts" and "unsex me here" in the play.
