Nurse: Character Analysis (Romeo and Juliet)

Today we begin a new series: in-depth character analysis focused on William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. I'm trying something new with the animation, so perhaps leave a comment on what you think of that idea. The animation was created using Procreate on the iPad. This app has a function allowing you to essentially trace a photo using an Apple Pencil, which is how I completed the drawing. I used an image of the nurse from the 1996 version of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
The main reference work (used with permission from the author) is: Bartolovich, Crystal, ‘“First as Tragedy, then as…”: Gender, Genre, History, and Romeo and Juliet’, found in ‘Rethinking Feminism in Early Modern Studies’ (Routledge, 2016).

Hello Mr Bruff I just started year 11 and my November mocks are coming up soon I just wanted to know if you will make a video about anything you have I also heard that in English we are going to have to write a letter? I don’t really know anything about that that. But thank you for your videos they are really helpful

[@mrbruff]

I am currently working on a new video about letter writing! It will be published within the next few weeks.
