Going to do a practice test on Hyde as an outsider tomorrow, thank you for helping me feel more confident! I've never felt good about taking an English test until now!
Sir I really appreciate these grade 9 essays, they really help with seeing what's needed exactly in context and I was wondering if you could do one on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing
Sorry, no one has sent me one. If you send me yours I can make a video on how to improve the grade.
Pov: ur watching this vid a day before the exam
I need to meet this ipthi guy,gosh hes so smart!
he is a sweat
@@Iclipsed Yeah such a neek I bet he has 4 eyes
Hello! Was just wondering if u had any videos on a view from the bridge? Or if u’ve done any videos for the edexcel 9-1 board? x
Courteney Winselt alright thanks !! I didn’t watch the whole of this video cuz we’re not studying Jekyll and Hyde, but the Macbeth videos have been super insightful.
Hi mr salles, for the first paragraph it says the doctor’s “undignified” liking for tge “elderly man”. Can you explain thos quote as I can’t really see where it is and who is this elderly man?
is this the question thats coming in the mock?
this was so helpful, thanks a lot!
L I no
Found this video just after I did this question in my Lit mock haha
what level did you get lol?
could you make a video on the level 6 subject terminology
Mr salles can you make videos of a grade 9 comparisons for poetry
Shukri ALI no
Hi sir, I watched your previous video on how in your pre-planned thesis should have multiple points to achieve the top grade. But is this not necessary as shown here?
Thanks
That's right, you can argue one thesis very well.
Could you do more videos on Macbeth quotes please?
search in my channel. I have loads of them already
3:55 i'm pretty sure its 19th century
his sir, would this be a good conclusion for an essay on mystery and tension?
Overall, Stevenson exploits the irrational Victorian fear of repressed homosexuality and explores the duality within society in order to allow him to create an atmosphere of mystery and tension. However, the atmosphere created appears to be not so mysterious once you accept more liberal views and turn away from traditional Christian morality - thus Stevenson presents mystery as a lack of knowledge and understanding which as a result creates tension, fear and conflict within the reader's mind.
Excellent!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thank you!
Hi Mr Salles,
Thank you so much for your videos and the time and effort you put in to help all of us do our best I really appreciate it. I just got my mock back and I was quite disappointed with my mark and grade -English is my favourite ever subject, I love it so much and therefore I was quite upset and I am now trying to figure out where I went wrong and what I need to do to improve. I was wondering if you might take a quick look (if you have time) at one of my mock essays and see what you think? Thank you so much! :)
The question was about mystery and tension in Jekyll Hyde (like this video)
Stevenson efficaciously employs tension in this gothic novella rooted from his controversial amplification of the moral regression of Victorian society; shrouding the novella in an evident sense of mystery allows for his readership to witness an emancipation of shame at their own depravities. On a deeper reading, Stevenson "enslaves" the "imagination" of his readers to a "tale" reflective of their own bourgeois culture.
Stevenson purposively crafts a vivid description of the sky, in which "a great chocolate coloured pall lowered over the heaven" as a means to fabricate the dichotomous essence of man typified in nature, ultimately fabricating a progressive tension. The metaphorical declarative and emblem "chocolate" is antithetical to normal gothic conventions that would expect Stevenson to cultivate a setting completely black, conveying an absence of any rectitude, structurally placed after the societally perceived depravities of Hyde when he "breaks out of all bounds"- yet the allusive richness encrypted in "chocolate" subtly indicates an incipient virtue within nature, for contemporary readers an overt juxtaposition. Yet, perhaps Stevenson alludes to the inability of Victorian gentlemen to realize that the iniquity of Hyde subsists as societally constructed; it's nature exuberated in hellish demeanours; "heaven" depicts Hyde's supposed depravity as subsisting out of the "bounds" of society and hence this "chocolate" texture is a sole remnant of the conclusive Victorian philosophy that immorality does not exist in their narrow worldviews and instead a bourgeois culture fabricates diabolic turpitude as a state of morality detached from societal norm, cultivating a conspicuous picture of mystery as we see elements of human essence beyond the norm.
Stevenson further extends this, as he constructs Mr Enfield as arrogantly declaring that Hyde is "hardly human"; a breeding tension cultivated due to the impending fact that this disassociation is in vain. We could view this as an element of the evolutionary regression of man, yet perhaps there is an underlying meaning: The use of "hardly" may allude to Hyde's subsistence as closer to God than to humanity who are believed to be fabricated as Imago Dei, withholding spiritual concentrations. The iniquity of Hyde shrouds the "heavens" solely due to his disposition reciprocating that of a Christian God in the sense that they both subsist beyond the norms of society and its constrictive propriety. Ultimately we could extend this and argue that the palpable precipitation of Hyde is an overt step towards salvation as opposed to a regression, as it is Jekyll's God-like imitations that metamorphose his inner depravities, cultivating a new life- not a "lowered" progression but an elevation; an ultimate crafting of tension as Stevenson condemns all of society's archaic principles that Hyde opposes any religious affiliations.
Stevenson crafts an impending sense of tension through his personification of "embattled vapours" with "degrees and hues of twilight." Ultimately encrypted is juxtaposition between the binaries expressed in "embattled" and the pluralistic noun of "hues"- it appears nature is conflicting between acceptance of its duality and an overt condemnation of its cataclysmic repercussions. The employment of "vapours" alludes to fragility in exterior veneers of bourgeois hegemonized culture; it's subsistence supernatural and inconspicuous, perhaps foreshadowing the desecration of Dr Jekyll's semblances of reputable rectitude. Efficaciously, Stevenson at the end of the novella highlights this, when Poole and Utterson perceive a "cheval glass" with "involuntary horror" in Dr Jekyll's desolate laboratory. Here the "cheval glass" serves as a metaphorical emblem of Victorian men's inclinations with materialism assigning subliminal emotions to tangible exteriorities. Ultimately when one looks into a mirror, there are three counterparts. Juxtaposing the philosophy of binaries encrypted in "embattled"- one's elusive facade, which is reflected in the mirror, the figure in the mirror or "glass" and ultimately one's inner depravities concealed, which the mirror fails to exemplify. Yet the two men look into the "cheval glass" with "horror", an adjective serving as a revelation that the "tale" of Dr Jekyll and the crumbling of his exterior facades has resulted ineluctably in other bachelor men insecure in their own philosophy of duplicitous concealment- they through the lexis "involuntary" may have an expectation to view their own diabolic iniquity in tangible states due to the fact that Jekyll has demolished the once efficacious nature of the tool of mystery. Thus Stevenson alludes through his cultivation mystery, it's own cataclysmic consequences- by revealing flaws in Victorian facades, and his readership consequently feels a tension.
Moreover, Stevenson cultivates the narrative of Utterson to perceive a "mournful reinvasion of darkness"- darkness is an overt motif in the novella as an absence of any Christian virtue, conventionally typified in the palpable existence of Hyde but perhaps through the noun "reinvasion", Stevenson points to the regression of man and incipient recalcitrant primal iniquity- it is convention for human philosophy to paint existing human forms as the pinnacle of evolutionary progression yet perhaps the blindness of the "darkness" has led an arrogance in human psychology- the lexis “mournful” epitomizes a tragedy, cultivating it’s lack of success hence referencing the hypocritical arrogance of Jekyll- bourgeois men have not progressed in any evolutionary manner but merely fabricated new morals in order to appear righteous thus this “darkness” is societal cultivated, a subjective “mournful” outlook of morality. It may be the power of upper-class men to fabricate morality as what is distinguishable from their own; subhuman and lower class to be specific. Perhaps this barbaric war imagery of “reinvasion” is not a battle between rectitude and turpitude but a conflict between the norms and outcasts. Thus a sophisticated progression is impeded purposively by Stevenson, in order to condemn and disprove any sense of entitlement with “reinvasion” indicating a cyclicality- we will never progress in morality if we corrupt its very substructure- this cultivates a clear tension in his readership by dissuading all their morals.
This is further exemplified in previous references to a “gross darkness” in which Utterson’s imagination is “enslaved or rather engaged”. The impenetrability indicated in the adjective “gross” is typified as the durability of iniquity that bourgeois men posses- however it is a “darkness” fabricated by Utterson’s enslaved “imagination” and thus Stevenson alternatively views the iniquity of bourgeois culture as existing within paranormal spiritual states, and hence there is a responsibility, not on humanity who subsist in tangible immanence but rather placed on the Christian God, who typifies spirituality. This is the ultimate pinnacle of tension in that Stevenson condemns the “darkness” fabricated by God himself- it is God who bestowed Jekyll with the cataclysmic ability to concentrate a precipitate of his evil onto Hyde- thus Jekyll ‘s detachment of responsibility was in vain as it Stevenson insinuates that it was not him who encompassed it.
To conclude, the ultimate purpose of Stevenson craft, is the condemnation of Victorian propriety and he utilizes tension in order to propel the readership into a re-evaluation of their society in which everything is shrouded in mystery-ultimately the “ape-like fury” of Hyde is an expression of society’s primitive disposition as a whole.
Thanks again!
The problem is that your meaning is not clear, because you have written it using a Thesaurus. This means some of your vocabulary has a different meaning to what you intended. Rewrtie it so that a clever 12 year old could understand every point. Then I think we will be able to see the at least grade 7 essay hidden in there.
I am excited by your love of words, but you have to get to know them before you introduce them to us!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Hi Mr Salles! Thank you so much for your feedback- I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I have rewritten it and really tried to make my meaning clear, cutting out any vocabulary out so that I can communicate the ideas better- what do you think?
Stevenson effectively employs tension in this gothic novella through his controversial amplification of the moral regression in the Victorian society. By shrouding the novella in a sense of mystery, Stevenson forces his readership to enter a state of contemplation regarding the duplicitous nature of their bourgeois culture and the self-destructive consequences of their dependence on facades. In doing so, Stevenson “enslaves” the “imagination” of his readers to a “tale” reflective of their own social depravity.
Stevenson crafts a vivid description of the sky, in which “a great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over the heaven” as a means to construct the essence of nature as mimicking the dichotomy within mankind, creating a cumulative tension. Due to the structural placement of this description after the societally-perceived wickedness of Hyde where he "breaks out of all bounds", the metaphorical declarative and emblem, "chocolate" is inconsistent with typical gothic conventions that would expect Stevenson to fabricate a setting completely black, in order to convey an explicit absence of any righteousness. Yet, the illusive richness encrypted in "chocolate" may subtly indicate an emerging virtue within nature, which juxtaposes the contemporary reader's gothic expectations. Hence, perhaps Stevenson is alluding to the inability of Victorian gentlemen to realize that the iniquity of Hyde is societally constructed as Utterson's narrative percieves Hyde's nature as affiliated with transcendence; through the word "heavens" Utterson's narrative detaches Hyde's supposed evil as existing out of the "bounds" of society. Thus, Stevenson critiques the Victorian philosophy that immorality does not exist within their narrow worldviews, and propels this bourgeois culture to construct evil as a moral element disengaged from the societal norm. Consequently, Stevenson indicates a rectitude in "chocolate" as a means to indicate that Utterson's narrative is a deceptive tool for Victorian men to create facades of goodness, creating a picture of mystery as we view elements of human nature beyond the norm.
Stevenson extends this tension further as he constructs Mr Enfield as arrogant in his declaration that Hyde is "hardly human" as we may view this disassociation as futile. While Stevenson is evidently referencing the evolution of man, perhaps the use of "hardly" alludes to Hyde's disposition as closer to God than to humanity, who are believed to be fabricated in the 'Image of God' spiritually. Thus Hyde's immorality shrouds the "heavens" solely due to his nature imitating that of the Christian God, to a larger extent than the rest of mankind, in the sense that they both exist beyond societal habit and it's restrictive propriety. Ultimately, Stevenson may be arguing that Jekyll's creation of Hyde, as a precipitate of his subliminal evil and "hardly human", is a step closer towards salvation as opposed to a regression, as it is Jekyll's God-like imitations that result in the inception of new life, contrary to this "lowered" pall; an ultimate crafting of tension as Stevenson condemns any previous societal assumptions that Hyde opposes religious principles.
Moreover, Stevenson creates a developing sense of tension through his personification of "embattled vapours" and the"degrees and hues of twilight" as he juxtaposes the binaries of a two-sided conflict expressed in "embattled" with the plural noun of "hues". Thus, it appears that nature is conflicting between acceptance and concealment of its innate duality with the employment of "vapours" indicating that the pretences of bourgeois culture are fragile, foreshadowing the destruction of Jekyll's reputable veneers. At the end of the novella, Stevenson highlights this when Poole and Utterson view the "cheval glass" in Dr Jekyll's laboratory with "involuntary horror". Here the "cheval glass" may be a symbol of the Victorian obsession with mystery; ultimately, it could be understood that when one looks into a mirror there are three persons, juxtaposing the binaries indicated in "embattled"; oneself, the figure in the "glass" or mirror that reflects one's exterior appearance and one's subliminal attributes, which the mirror fails to display. Despite this, the two men look into the "cheval glass" with "horror", perhaps revealing that the "tale" of Dr Jekyll and the crumbling of his respectable facade has resulted in the insecurities of other bachelor men regarding their own veneers, so much so that they expect to perceive their own depravity exposed in the "glass" due to Jekyll's destruction of mystery's effectiveness. Therefore Stevenson alludes to the disastrous consequences of mystery and by revealing the flaws in Victorian pretences, his readership would consequently feel tense.
Furthermore, Stevenson constructs Utterson's narrative to perceive a "mournful reinvasion of darkness" with "darkness" being a motif in the novella that refers to the absence of any Christian virtue, conventionally associated with Hyde's evil nature. However, perhaps through the words " mournful reinvasion" Stevenson highlights the evolution of man as a perpetual regression; it is conventional for societal thinking to depict the current human form as the pinnacle of evolutionary progress but the blindness of "darkness" indicates that this assumption may be a form of arrogance. Perhaps Stevenson is arguing that mankind has not morally progressed but instead has created new "mournful" morals in order to appear righteous; thus this "darkness" is not a symbol of Hyde's evil but is societally crafted. The barbaric war imagery of "reinvasion" may not be a battle between good and evil, but a conflict between the norms and outcasts; a result of upper-class men's power to construct evil as what is different; subhuman and lower-class. Stevenson further refutes the progress of man through the cyclicality indicated in this word; we will never morally progress if we corrupt the foundations of morals itself. By disproving his readership's morals, Stevenson effectively creates tension that he hopes will propel them into a reexamination of their society.
This is explored further in previous references to "gross darkness", in which Utterson's imagination is "enslaved or rather engaged." The impenetrability insinuated in the word "gross" may be symbolic of the durability of these societally-created morals, however, this "darkness" is created by Utterson's "enslaved...imagination". The word "imagination" connotes that the immorality of Victorian men may exist in an abstract state; therefore it may not be humans who are responsible for this evil, but rather the Christian God who typifies otherworldliness. In the climax of tension, Stevenson forces his readership to consider that it is God who created man and so it is God who bestowed Jekyll with the ability to create Hyde as a precipitate of immorality. In Jekyll's claims that "it was Hyde...and Hyde alone, that was guilty" Stevenson reveals the purpose of Jekyll's scientific ambitions; to get rid of any responsibility for his own evil. However, the revelation that the responsibility for immoral acts may lie with God depicts Jekyll's attempts to disengage as fruitless, creating tension as it appears Jekyll's fate was inevitable.
Overall, the purpose of Stevenson's craft is the condemnation of Victorian duplicity; he uses tension as a means to propel his readership into a re-evaluation of their society, which is shrouded in mystery. Ultimately, the "ape-like fury" of Hyde serves as an expression of society's primitive evil as a whole.
@@saharlaylamulji8823 Yes, this is much better. Now I can see that there are several sophisticated arguments running through it. Some of your vocabulary is still too difficult for a smart 12 year old to understand.
It might help you to write ideas that your essay is trying to prove. Write these in language a 10 year old can understand. For example: Stevenson wants to show that Hyde is not really evil, he is incorrectly judged as evil by a Christian society.
Once you have these 6 clear arguments, find the paragraphs which explain them. Put these sentences in the paragraph, and see whether the paragraph properly explains that idea so it is also easy to understand for the clever 12 year old.
I will make a video of your rewrite and, if you like, publish it in the guide to literature I am writing.

@@K_10107 what grade did u get 👀
what exactly is repressed homosexuality?
During the Victorian era it was literally illegal to be gay/homosexual (Oscar Wilde, author of The Picture of Dorian Grey, another gothic novel written after J+H went to jail for it), so any gay men could not make it public that they liked men. Jekyll talks a lot about all the sordid pleasures he sought, which could have been male prostitutes, because perhaps he was gay. All it means is that he might (it’s only an interpretation) have been gay and would have been forced to hide it unless he wanted to go to jail. It would have completely ruined his reputation.
Here bc my English GCSEs is literally in 2 days lol
Same just started revising 😭
good luck guys 😂
But the homosexuality doesn’t relate to the question.
it does because it's hidden and repressed - it's a mystery because it's concealed from the reader and society
i agree with you
what's the question btw??
