I'm not kidding when i say this, but your videos are the only videos that i have found extremely useful. Your quotes are very unique and it's very helpful when you analyse them because most people try to avoid these quotes and go for more of the simpler ones. Thank you so much, you've made the themes so clear and easy to understand!
even five years on students are still watching these videos and finding them useful, i have an exam tomorrow, and if i didnt feel confident before i definitely do now.
Fantastic breakdown of all the key ideas behind the play. Thank you very much, and I hope you continue uploading these extremely well made and useful videos.
Thank you. That's very kind of you to say and I'm very pleased you are finding them useful. I am currently writing some new videos and will be releasing them in the coming months.
Exceptional! I can't thank you enough! Every other teacher spends the whole video talking about what they are going to do and never actually doing it, but you actually get right on with it! Thank you loads :)
when capulet first mentions death lying on her like an untimely rose and then he says in a later quote that death has lain with his future wife, not only is he personifying death but he is also alluding to the fact that Juliet being dead is a lie, she is not really dead but in deep deep slumber, she is metaphorically dead to her name as a capulet but not truly dead.
V0RPAL_SD Good question. She’s drawing a distinction between his lovely outward appearance (flowering face meaning that his face is beautiful like a flower) and the inner reality (emotionally he is treacherous and evil like the snake - the idea of the serpent or snake being deceitful originated from the Bible story of Adam and Eve. Hope that’s useful.
Mehraj. Thank you for asking this question; I'm very pleased that you are interested. I had simplified this number slightly because there are variations (death. death's, deathly etc.) and I had quoted the number of times 'death' and 'dead' were found in a given speech - so I hadn't included all of the times a character had repeated these words in any of those speeches. In fact there are even more than 81 uses. If you want to quote the exact numbers in an exam, the following uses can be found in Romeo: death (69), dead (49). So that's 118 in total. In addition there are mentions of death's (3), deadly (2), death'mark'd (1), death-bed (1) and death-darting (1). In total that then comes to 126 mentions of words relating to death. You can use www.opensourceshakespeare.org as your source. I hope that's useful, thanks again for your interest, and good luck with the exam.
these are so great! is there any chance you could do character analysis for the main characters in this play and an overall analysis of the tragic genre?!
Dr Aidan, has anyone actually gotten a grade 9 from your videos, because they are very good and roughly how many quotes if you were to be tracking the play in an essay would you need?

2:44 hi, you made a mistake here. Romeo said it not juliet
Well-spotted: my error. Thank you for letting me know.
What does it mean when Juliet describes Romeo; “O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!”
V0RPAL_SD Good question. She’s drawing a distinction between his lovely outward appearance (flowering face meaning that his face is beautiful like a flower) and the inner reality (emotionally he is treacherous and evil like the snake - the idea of the serpent or snake being deceitful originated from the Bible story of Adam and Eve.

ahhh i dont even understand romeo and juliet
thank you bro this helped me so much!
Thank you. I’m very pleased to hear that you found it helpful and thanks for letting me know.
Love the videos Doc, last minute revision treatment 👍
I wish I could remember all this
Was it actually mentioned 81 times, can I write it in my exam paper

@@DrAidan Thank You so much, this was really helpful.
Thank you sooo much for this i have my midterm tomorrow and because of corona it's really hard to study but this really helped.
Thank you and I hope that the mid-terms go well.
Summarize the speaker's views on love and death. Do you agree with these ideas? Explain why or why not. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS
If anyone else had the same misunderstanding I did, at 2:45 he says prophetic, not pathetic
Tnx
these are so great! is there any chance you could do character analysis for the main characters in this play and an overall analysis of the tragic genre?!
Thank you; I will add those to the list.
Thank you so much you help me understand the play
Very glad to hear that you found the video helpful.
I think at 2:49 the quote is spoken by Romeo, not Juliet.
Well-spotted. My error.
thanks dude
So helpful, could you do inspector calls or Jekyll and Hyde? Thank you so much this helped a lot
Thank you: I am working on themes videos for both of those.
My guy you saved my life for tomorrow's exam
I'm pleased to hear that: glad it was helpful. Hope the exam went well.
Dr Aidan, has anyone actually gotten a grade 9 from your videos, because they are very good and roughly how many quotes if you were to be tracking the play in an essay would you need?
Stop looking through the comments and get back to revision!
😄 thanks I guess

This guy is smart
So helpful and great as last minute revision
