class of 2019?
LETS DO THIS
... yes
What sort of weird ass comment
gang
Amara Silver Thats what at all schools do lmao?? But swear you’re supposed to initially read Jekyll and Hyde in year 9...?
I hate people who put: “exam tomorrow!” but I actually do have my exam tomorrow 😂 good luck all yr11 this year
I hope you pass
Cheers boi, you too if you’re doing them
Archie Wood thanks
Archie Wood I’m in yr 10 but I’m still sitting my English GCSE tomorrow, love my school so so much :)
Hoping I pass looool
Another context:
Darwin's theory about the evolution of man ties very well with Hyde and his ''ape-like'' nature. It was discovered shortly before the release of Jekyll and Hyde, so the victorian readers would have made very clear and unnerving links between Hyde's character and the theory
Oh, and the context about the expectations of victorian gentlemen in society is very easy to link and use for in-depth analysis (Can easily talk about victorian readers that way) - I use it to help when I start running out of linkable contexts.
Also, good luck all last minute revisors - gotta cover poetry, this, romeo and juliet and inspector in 3 days (@_@) I salute to anyone in my situation or in an even worse situation. . .
I know what it's like a hve a jekyll and Hyde test 2morrow😢😢
@@d.j.w2600 how did it go?
In 8 hrs 😭 Its 1.30am rn
bro jus did my hw thanks g…
Victorians had a fear of atavism, the concept that if mankind evolved from apes, then we could potentially return to that primitive animalistic state (linked to Freud's theory of the mind, in terms of the ego controlling the id). Hyde being described using animalistic imagery alludes to this. "Like a rat", "ape-like fury" etc.
Hopefully this helps someone :)
you absolute legend
hey, how coul this be linked to stevenson's intentions?
Hi, one of his intentions was to shock his readers. Atavism was a shocking concept at the time, due to Christians not wanting to believe in Darwin's theory of evolution. Describing Hyde in a primitive animalistic manner taps into the fears of the Victorian readers.
Another part of atavism is that it was believed people were "born criminal", part of Lombrosos's theory of atavism. You don't need to understand this in great depth- all you need to know is this would make Hyde more of a despicable, subhuman character to a Victorian audience.
@@maisy3377 wAIt you can actually just write about him wanting to create shock? damn i thought you'd have to explain it like mad
tysm!!
That's really cool but I thought this linked into Darwin's theory of revolution, returning to a primitive state as that is what we originated from
Who’s not ready for exams ?
me =(
Unknown .x day before ?
I'm well excited
its today bro im not ready ;(
4 more months for me guys, kinda stressed for my GCSE's tho.
Jekyll's house was possibly based off John hunter's. As in order to learn about human anatomy, he got cadavers to rob fresh graves which were then brought to him by night at the back end of his house i.e. The entrance Hyde enters
Did you watch that documentary too? lol
Shush nerd 🤫🤫🤫
Interesting to notice you made no reference at all to the context surrounding religion during the Victorian era. The connotations of the devil and hell , is such a frequent component within Jekyll and Hyde. This notion of a constant battle for supremacy , concerning science vs religion. Along with little mention of physicality and deformity.. All equally substantial contextual themes within the novella..
youre profile picture really does not provide a good representation of your speaking ability
Kha __ 😂🔥
Ethan Earle he teaches things not so largely taught in schools.
Ethan Earle you always hear about that in lesson but I've never heard anything about the points he is making in the video
Please elaborate
lol I did not know about the Narnina thing mind blown
We need this guy to meet up with Shaun Donnelly. Two legends together
Whoever put a dislike if just salty cos they did bad in English Literature.
i have a teacher called mr pritchard...
Also, Edinburgh at the time which is where Stevenson was born, also seemed to have a split atmosphere of new/old.
exam today! good luck to all year 11s ❤
got my exam on this and macbeth on monday
Thank you!!! I've got this tomorrow
class of 2020 is terrifying but satisfying
A very helpful video, thank you!
hey man could you don a video on linking context to question ?
Year 11 mocks anyone?
You are awesome! Thank you so much!! :)
Class of 2018 who is ready for these GCSES NEXT MONTH!

It’s tomorrow!
IM GONNA FAIL HELP ME
Lets do this lads
I got a 5 in english in mocks and i dont want to mess this up
i have exams soon and literally none of this is going in
Edit: Tomorrow
Edit: today
edit:today v2
my inspiration
class of 2020 mocks?
one thing you could say about the lower class people is that their posture is low down like Hyde's, almost dwarfish which suggests that they were keeping the load of the upper class people on their shoulders and they are the reason the upper class people are there
TOMORROW :(
how well did u do
Day before cramming squaaaaaadddd!!!!!
Would anyone be able to tell me about what role Jekyll housekeeper has and the women in Enfields story?-crime and mystery genre
Do you have a video on Lanyon?
Very nice really helpful tysm :D
That was very educational I love your voice
Can you please expand on the Victorian Society. Why would have Stevenson wanted Jekyll to conceal his desires of wanting to commit the evil? How would have the Victorian audience reacted like why was enabling them not to see the evil an important thing? Is it related to how the Victorian people were Christians therefore Hyde's actions and notions would have been unacceptable in this not secular society?
Reading Skies my teacher has discussed this with us and I think it is to do with Hyde's actions and ultimately Jekyll's actions being frowned upon in society. We also believe that Jekyll could be repressing a homosexual nature/sexuality and this was not accepted in the Victorian society
At the time of the Victorian era, it was emphasised that men should be "gentlemen", to be respectable however people had a dark inner desire of something else and so the society was very submissive with deeply buried secrets. Evil, in other words, crimes such as pickpocketing in those times often had severe consequences that led to the loss of dignity in the society as well as death.
got my y10 end of year exam tomorrow and your vids have helped me so much, my teacher even plays them in class so we can take notes! please don't stop uploading :D

@Helena Bogus EXACTLY

class of 2021
what tips do you have for questions on lanyon compared to jekll
hello adam. LOL
Class of 2020?
u mention that Hyde is the only one mentioned in the lower class. however u fail to think about Poole the porter and the little girl which was one of the first characters introduced.
Tyler Cadwallader Poole is actually middle class.
TRUdipper nope Poole is a minor character, which makes him lower class
No problem
thank u for making this
+Eeman Malik happy to help
the blue thing is so annoying but thanks for sharing!
im dead RIP 6 Form Spot
ooof

good luck guys
2020 wya
Got an exam tomorrow. Don't know anything about this novella.
bruff my man, thank you
Hello Mrs. Knight
my exam is this morning so good luck to me😭!
how did you do?
You referenced John Hunter as being prevalent in Stevenson's time but he died 57 years before Stevenson was born
You're right about the dates, but Hunter's influence lived on after his death. Here's the British Library on one of the influences of Hunter on Jekyll and Hyde: topic www.bl.uk/collection-items/john-hunter-residence
Perhaps it would be better to refer to the Burke and Hare murders as they stole corpses to dissect just like Hunter and eventually started killing but were closer to Stevenson's time and also carried out the crimes in Stevenson's home city of Edinburgh- could be useful to show the idea of a scientist getting overwhelmed and going too far.
Yes the Mr Bruff revision guide for 'Jekyll and Hyde' goes into detail on them: ''In Edinburgh at the time, two famous men - William Burke and William Hare - made a lot of money from digging up bodies that had recently been buried and selling them to a well-known surgeon in the city. This was, of course, entirely illegal but they made so much money that they decided that they would get them even fresher and began to murder people and bring the bodies around to thesurgeon’s home. Stevenson would have, again, been familiar with this story and even wrote a story about it himself called The Bodysnatchers.'

whos ready for exams?

First like ❤️❤️
I literally repeated everything you said in on of my exams and got a 3- "very basic knowledge" and didn't mention any of the religious factors. Dislike.
you do know that context doesnt give many marks - most of the marks is analysis
its probably because of the way you worded your answer and linked it to the topic/question.
probably because of the way you worded it, and not using this useful context in an effective way. You need a really clear point about something , and then it should smoothly link to the context that Mr Buff has provided.
You’re a dumbass, context won’t get you marks. It’s your point, evidence and explanation that’ll give you points. If you make random claims with no evidence you’ll get low marks regardless of how much context you know.
Mr Bruff - if that really is your name. It was very interesting to see your biased approach to this, your personal opinions aren't really relevant to a factual presentation and your failure to mention the important religion symbolism of this book is comedically unprofessional.
people have different perspectives and Mr Bruff doesn't have to mention religious symbolism as it's taught to the students in class
Good explanations
