hi@@DrAidan . Its me again. I just wanted to say thank you. I got my results about a week ago and got a 9 in literature. I'm now doing a level English literature and loving it so far. Thank you for getting me through my exams👍👍
This was really helpful. But Dr Aidan, what techniques and methods do you suggest we use to memorize quotes? And also I was revising and looking back at my old essays, what do you suggest I write about for the dagger hallucination scene? are there any key quotes i should remember from that scene?
There are a number of ways of doing it. Repetition (learning them by rote) is one option - it's surprising how quickly your brain will remember them. Another couple of options are to use either the PEG or LOCI methods. The PEG method uses numbers and links them with images - so you can number your quotes if you want to; the LOCI method involves assigning quotes to physical places - like your local street, or rooms in your house. You then imagine walking around the house in your head and you can remember them. It's a bit too complicated to explain fully here, but you can find books on these techniques. The hallucination scene is important because after this he acts and the dagger becomes real. It is the key turning point in the play, because after this he cannot turn back. You can compare it with the later quote about being 'in blood stepped so far', when he concludes that it is as tiring to go back and as it is to continue on with more murders. Hope that's useful.
how many quotes do I need to remember also sir could you make a grade 9 essay on Macbeth questions and if you can videos on sign of 4 Thanks!(didn't receive your reply last time cause of this RUclips glitch)
Aidan do you have any advice on answering each 30 mark question on Macbeth and Jekyll and Hyde? Also I’ve gotten lots of quotes for Jekyll but if any other characters come up I am doomed so what else do you think could come up?
What you want to look for are quotes that highlight why Stevenson has chosen Utterson and Lanyon in particular. Look for quotes in the first couple of pages about Utterson - they tell you he's serious and respectable, so he's a reliable narrator. Lanyon is genial and friendly. He's also well-liked and respected - so he has been chosen to illustrate the unease we should have about Jekyll's project. Hope that's useful. Good luck.
I don’t get any of this like Shakespeare says hello and everyone’s like: so we know his cat died because of the light tone he said hello and he’s jealous of his cousin
I love watching these videos while on the journey to school, a quick revision for myself before my lit exam. Thank you for putting these videos out- they have benefitted me greatly, and I attribute my grade As in literature to you 💜
That’s lovely to hear. I’m very pleased that you have found them useful and that they have helped you to get the results you wanted. Thanks for letting me know.
@@DrAidan Hey thank you for your reply , could you help me out with a question that was given to me? It is " How does Shakespeare represent Leadership first from this passage and in the play as a whole" I would really appreciate it if you could give some sort of push in the right direction. Thank you. (btw you just earned another sub)
Hi Sir, i was just wondering could you please do videos on character analysis because those questions can also come up in the exam( videos are amazing by the way)
Here are a couple of points that I hope might help with Kingship. As I say in the Ambition video, a king was thought to be appointed by God and so his subjects must be loyal to him. This is why Macbeth says 'Your highness' part / Is to receive our duties, and our duties / Are to your throne and state, children and servants,' (1.4.23-25). In addition, Duncan was a virtuous king - a man who only did good things and treated his people well. This is what God would want from a king. Macbeth acknowledges this when he thinks about killing him in Act 1 Scene 7. He says 'Besides, this Duncan / Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been / So clear in his great office, that his virtues / Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued against / The deep damnation of his taking off'. (1.7.16-20). So what this says about kingship is that not only is Duncan appointed by God but he is also a godly ruler who rules over his people well. By killing Duncan Macbeth violates the bond of loyalty and trust between subject and king. I hope that's useful. Let me know if you have any further questions and I will try to answer them.
Infact, Due to the witches prophecies, Macbeth felt that he was the superior!Macbeth puts light on aggressive policy of being immortal, so it is "over ambition". Like if you agree.
Tomorrow I have my mid sem exam, I found everything I needed in this simple video! Thank you and keep doing these videos! Wish you all the very best Dr! 🌷👼
I just wanted to mention, it’s unclear how Lady Macbeth died due to it being a off stage event. Where it’s the most common interpretation that she kills herself (it was seen as sinful to commit suicide back then too), I also think other interpretations are worth mentioning. My personal favourite is that she dies of illness due to the consequences of her actions and her rejection of her femininity catching up to her and nature having its way with her.
You make a good point. When Macbeth was written the society was (strictly speaking) Jacobean because James I was king. However I have used Elizabethan here because the concepts I describe in this video were carried over from the recently-ended Elizabethan period. I hope that explains my choice but yes you would be right to say Macbeth is a Jacobean play.
OMGGGG Dr Aidennnn u actually replied...therefore can u reply to this as well....PLEASE CAN U MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT ANALYSIS OF THE CHRISTMAS CAROL please 😁
I have just published the 10 Most Important Quotes in a Christmas Carol - do take a look at that if you would like to. I'm also preparing another two videos on A Christmas Carol that I aim to publish relatively soon.
i also love how you say greater enjoyment rater than greater grades. instantly makes me want to learn and enjoy it.
Very happy to hear that! Learning becomes much easier when you enjoy the process.
