Welcome to another video. You've got Mr.

0:02

Everything English. And today we will be

0:05

doing something super important.

0:08

Everything

0:09

education tuition for maths, English,

0:12

and science. I did this last year with

0:17

four quotes for four paragraphs. And if

0:20

you go back and you look at the comment

0:22

section of those videos, guys, it really

0:25

helped those year 11s. So, this year

0:28

I've had a whole year to reflect. This

0:31

year, guys, I've tweaked the quotes and

0:32

I'm presenting you with six. We're going

0:35

to go over six quotes. I'm going to give

0:37

you the quote. I'm going to give you the

0:39

technique. I'm going to give you the

0:41

analysis, and I'm going to talk you

0:43

through how you make this quote fit lots

0:46

of different questions. Now, I'm going

0:48

to give you six different paragraphs on

0:52

the day of your exam. Remember guys, you

0:55

only need to make two of the six fit

0:58

because on the day of your exam, you are

1:01

aiming for four paragraphs. Two

1:03

paragraphs are going to be coming from

1:05

the extract that they give you on the

1:07

day. The other two will be coming from

1:10

these six. Now guys, we need these six

1:14

to be absolutely solid. Absolutely

1:18

solid. It is unforgivable. Absolutely

1:21

unforgivable. I sound like Mr. Berling.

1:24

But guys, honestly, we will not be

1:28

coming out of the exam on Monday and

1:31

none of you guys are going to message me

1:33

saying, "Sir, I just couldn't think of

1:36

any quotes. Sir, I just couldn't think

1:39

of any ideas. Sir, I only did one

1:43

paragraph." Guy, that is not happening.

1:45

Not on my watch. by hook or by crook on

1:49

that exam on Monday. All of us, every

1:53

single one of us is coming out of that

1:55

exam with four paragraphs done. Now, in

1:58

an ideal world, you want to do two

2:01

paragraphs from the extract, two

2:03

paragraphs from the whole text. But

2:05

listen to me very carefully. If you open

2:08

the

2:09

extract and what they give you on the

2:12

day is something that completely

2:16

completely throws you off. I'm talking

2:18

to the point where you can't understand

2:20

it at all. Then give me or try to give

2:24

me one from the extract and three from

2:27

the six that I'm going to give you. And

2:30

worst case scenario, worst case

2:33

scenario. And I don't want anyone

2:35

saying, "Oh, Mr. everything English said

2:37

do this. I'm saying worst case scenario.

2:39

If you can't engage with the extract at

2:43

all, you can't even give me a paragraph.

2:46

Then you know what guys, worst case

2:48

scenario, out of the six that I'm going

2:50

to give you, you write up four of

2:53

them. It is better to do that than to

2:56

leave your booklet

2:58

empty. What I am trying to tell you guys

3:00

is this. No matter what happens on

3:03

Monday, we are coming out of that exam

3:05

doing four full paragraphs. In an ideal

3:08

world, we are aiming for two paragraphs.

3:11

Extract two paragraphs from the whole

3:14

text. But if it comes down to it, you

3:18

have to change accordingly. But guys,

3:20

remember one thing. This is our GCSE

3:23

exam. Everything comes down to this. So

3:26

no matter what happens guys, Monday we

3:28

are doing four paragraphs. And now guys,

3:30

I will help you so much because I am now

3:33

going to go through the six quotes that

3:35

I believe can fit

3:39

99.9999% of questions. All right guys,

3:42

let's switch over to the board and let's

3:44

you ever require tuition lessons classes

3:46

for English, maths or science, do head

3:49

over to

3:51

4:12

4:15

any exam board, do head over to

4:19

everything.co.uk or click the link in

4:21

the All right guys, let's now go through

4:24

McBTH. Now this for me is the ultimate

4:28

McBth essay plan. I really believe guys

4:31

it is the best essay plan if you want to

4:34

succeed. Now if you notice guys I follow

4:37

pretzel. I don't have fights about

4:39

paragraphs. If you do PL, if you do

4:41

Peter, if you do potato, that's fine.

4:44

You tweak it as you see fit. But I do

4:47

pretzel guys. I do point reference

4:49

technique effect zoom effect and link.

4:53

Every single paragraph has context after

4:55

the effect. But in your GCSE exam guys,

4:59

make sure you don't do context in every

5:01

single paragraph because context comes

5:03

under AO3. And AO3 is only worth six

5:06

marks, 20% of the paper. So out of the

5:08

four paragraphs, only do context once,

5:12

maximum twice. All right, guys, let's

5:14

begin. Paragraph number one. This is my

5:17

favorite quote when it comes to McBTH.

5:19

favorite not because I love the quote

5:21

but favorite because I can do so much

5:23

with it. The quote guys is from act two

5:26

scene one and it is said by McBth just

5:29

before he kills King Duncan and McBth is

5:32

in his saliloquy. Now this is the

5:35

technique and this comes under form. So

5:37

AO2 technique is language structure and

5:40

form. Saliloquy comes under form. That

5:43

is why I use it there because very few

5:46

students talk about form and this is a

5:48

nice way of bringing it in. So this is

5:50

McBth saliloquy. Now what is a siloquy?

5:53

A siloquy is when the character is

5:55

revealing their thoughts out loud. So no

5:59

one's really supposed to hear them.

6:00

These are their intrusive thoughts.

6:02

These are their private thoughts. And

6:04

here we get a real insight into the

6:07

character of McBth, how he thinks and

6:09

how he feels and so on. So act two scene

6:12

one before Mr. McBth goes to kill Duncan

6:15

McBth is complaining about his heat

6:18

oppressed brain. Now guys this quote

6:21

heat oppressed brain what does that

6:23

mean? Your brain is what we use not your

6:26

brain our brain is what we use for

6:28

thinking. Our brain is what we use for

6:31

ideas. Your brain is what controls

6:34

everything. And your brain is what

6:36

controls your actions. For example, if

6:39

in my mind I hate someone, then my

6:42

actions will reflect it. If I love

6:44

someone, then my actions will reflect

6:46

it. So your brain is what controls your

6:49

ideas. But McBth is saying that my

6:52

ideas, my brain is being oppressed. When

6:55

you oppress something, you control it in

6:58

a negative way. So McBth, he accepts and

7:01

he admits that my mind, my ideas, my

7:04

thoughts are being controlled. But what

7:07

are they being controlled by? He says

7:09

the first word. His brain is being

7:12

controlled by heat. Now when you put

7:15

plastic under overheat under no when you

7:18

put plastic under heat, what can you do

7:21

to plastic? You can mold it. You can

7:24

change it. So he's saying that someone

7:28

is applying heat or something is

7:31

applying heat to my brain. Why? Because

7:34

they want to mold it. because they want

7:36

to change

7:37

it. Who is applying heat to the brain of

7:41

poor

7:42

McBTH? This quote is in act two, scene

7:45

one. So, who was putting the heat on

7:49

McBth in act one? Lady McBth and the

7:53

witches. Now, in this quote, McBth

7:56

accepts that he is being targeted. He

8:00

accepts that he's being controlled. He

8:03

accepts that he's being manipulated, but

8:07

he still goes and kills Duncan, which

8:10

shows that deep down he wants to do it

8:11

as well. Now guys, that's the silicy.

8:14

For my context, I brought in Freud and

8:16

the ID. Now guys, don't get it twisted.

8:18

Freud and the id theory is very, very

8:21

simple. Now, I've heard some crazy

8:23

comments saying, "My teacher said I

8:26

can't use Freud because it came out

8:28

after the

8:30

play." That's what context is. Context

8:33

is when you apply theories that didn't

8:36

exist at that time to the text. For

8:38

example,

8:40

patriarchy, women, Lady McBth wasn't

8:43

saying, "I want women's

8:45

rights." Only

8:47

after did people say, "Hold on a

8:49

second." That was a patriarchal

8:51

society. Every context you use comes

8:54

later, guys. for my for my degrees at

8:58

university. When I used to do my English

9:01

degree, all the context that you use,

9:04

all the theories you

9:06

use, it's written after the text. That

9:10

doesn't make sense to say that the

9:11

context would come out before the text.

9:14

How can you release context for a book

9:16

that hasn't even come out yet? It's a

9:19

seriously silly argument. Of course, you

9:21

can use Freud. It's a grade nine

9:24

context. Now what is Freud all about

9:27

guys? If you understand it, use it. If

9:29

you don't, don't bother with it. But let

9:30

me explain it. Freud guys, he was a

9:33

psychologist and he wrote about the

9:35

human brain. And he said that there is

9:37

one part of our brain that is called the

9:40

id ID id. And this part of the brain is

9:44

the part of the brain that controls our

9:46

instincts. And he said that one instinct

9:50

that we all have, me and you, is the

9:53

instinct to worship. Is the id of

9:56

worship. Everyone worships something.

9:59

Whether you worship God, whether you

10:01

worship cars, whether you worship Kim

10:04

Kardashian or whether you worship

10:05

football, everyone worship something is

10:08

what he argued. But what I want you to

10:11

argue is that McBth, Lady McBth, the

10:15

witches are all characters who worship

10:19

their desires and they are slaves to

10:22

their id because their id their

10:25

desire controls them. That is what I

10:29

would argue here. So I would say that

10:31

this quote shows that McBth is a slave

10:33

to his id because look what it's done to

10:35

him.

10:37

It's absolutely destroyed his mind. And

10:41

then for my zooming in back to the

10:43

quote, I would zoom into either the

10:45

foreshadowing because this quote could

10:48

foreshadow the eventual downfall of

10:50

McBth or the oxymoron oppressed brain

10:54

because your brain is supposed to be

10:56

free and not controlled. Now, how could

10:59

you use this quote? How could you

11:00

possibly use it? If the question came

11:02

up, how is Lady McBth presented? Lady

11:05

McBth is very very powerful because

11:07

she's able to manipulate and control

11:09

McBTH. If the question came up, how or

11:12

comes up, how is kingship presented?

11:15

Guys, kingship has absolutely destroyed

11:18

this guy. His desire for kingship is too

11:22

much. It's taken over. He is a a a

11:26

destroyed man. How is guilt presented?

11:29

Same

11:30

thing. How is ambition presented?

11:33

Dangerous.

11:34

Being ambitious is dangerous because

11:36

it's not good for you when you can't

11:39

control that ambition. What else? What

11:41

else? What else? McBth and the witches.

11:44

The witches manipulate McBth. Not

11:46

physically, but mentally. Any other any

11:49

other questions? Kingship

11:52

gate. Come on. Why is his brain

11:55

oppressed? Maybe he's torn. Maybe he's

11:57

battling back and

11:59

forth. That's why he's having a battle

12:02

internally. Any other scenarios? Any

12:05

other scenarios? No, I think I've kind

12:06

of answered a lot of them. But guys, you

12:08

get what I mean. Now, for those of you

12:11

who are revising, all I would do is I

12:12

would take that

12:13

paragraph, I would write out a

12:16

paragraph, and then I would go through

12:18

past papers and see how I can make it

12:20

fit. Guys, you can make that quote fit

12:22

anything. And why it's a beautiful quote

12:25

is because it has form and it has

12:26

structure, which are two things that are

12:29

needed for that grade eight and nine.

12:31

All right, guys. Paragraph number two.

12:33

This video, this video will be very,

12:35

very long if I go out this way, guys.

12:38

Paragraph number two. I love this quote.

12:41

I love this quote, guys. Act four, scene

12:44

one. McBth has just finished the banquet

12:47

scene where he sees the ghost of Banquo

12:50

and people are starting to think that

12:52

McBth, the king, is going crazy. And

12:55

this king who represents God upon earth,

12:59

this king who's supposed to be the most

13:02

noble man

13:04

alive gets his begging bone and he goes

13:08

to visit his three favorite

13:11

people. Act four, scene one, he goes to

13:14

visit the witches as the king, as the

13:17

man who represents God. He goes and

13:20

meets Satan's minions. He goes to see

13:23

the witches.

13:25

And as he's approaching the

13:27

witches, as the king, as he's

13:30

approaching, they say something wicked

13:35

this way comes. That's the quote. Now,

13:38

first things first, this quote is

13:43

juosition. Why is this quote juosition?

13:45

Because look at who they talking about.

13:48

They are talking about McBth. Who is

13:50

McBth? McBth is the king. The king

13:53

represents everything good, but they say

13:55

he's wicked. He's

13:58

evil. Now, I want to flip this quote

14:01

upside down for a second. A lot of

14:04

people when they look at this quote,

14:06

they say that the witches are being rude

14:09

to McBth. The witches are insulting

14:12

McBth. But I want to give you an

14:14

alternative. You could argue that in

14:17

this quote, the witches are

14:18

complimenting McBth. How?

14:23

McBth could be compared to the devil,

14:26

right? Because of how he behaves. And

14:30

the

14:31

witches, do they like good people or do

14:34

they like bad people? The witches like

14:36

bad

14:38

people. So if the witches said to McBth,

14:40

"Here comes the angel McBth." That

14:43

doesn't make sense. They're cursing him

14:44

because the witches are against angels.

14:47

But when they call McBth wicked, it's as

14:51

though even there in awe of who he's

14:56

become. Well done. You killed the king.

14:59

You killed God's man on earth. You are

15:01

now wicked. You are now above us. You've

15:04

exceeded even what we thought you could

15:07

do. It's a possible alternative in

15:10

interpretation, guys, that you can give

15:12

for this

15:13

quote. And it shows you, remember, who

15:16

do the witches worship? The devil. Oh,

15:19

guy, this point is amazing. Think about

15:22

it. The witches worship the devil. As

15:25

the king, McBth was supposed to be God's

15:29

man upon earth. But in killing Duncan,

15:33

maybe you can argue McBth is not God's

15:36

man upon earth. He's the devil's man

15:39

upon earth because everything he does

15:43

goes against God against religion. O

15:47

guys I am cooking because that is a

15:50

lovely point. That is a lovely lovely

15:54

lovely point you can make for your

15:56

exams. Let's carry on guys. Um I've

15:58

linked you to kingship kingship and the

16:00

great chain of being as the context. My

16:02

basic point here guys for context is

16:04

this.

16:06

McBth obviously isn't in the line of

16:09

kingship. He isn't in the great chain of

16:11

being. He is an impostor. Hence, he

16:14

behaves the way he behaves. Now,

16:17

kremorphism, it sounds Japanese,

16:19

Chinese, but it's not. It's English.

16:21

Cremorphism is the opposite of

16:24

personification. So, personification is

16:26

when you give a non-human a human

16:29

feature. per uh cremmorphism is when you

16:32

give a human the feature of an object.

16:35

So when they say to McBth something not

16:40

someone something they objectify McBth.

16:44

So that is cremmorphism. Now why is that

16:47

important? Because it shows us guys how

16:51

McBth has changed so much that even they

16:56

don't recognize him. Who the heck is

16:59

this? And it shows us guys how he's

17:03

changed. How has he changed? What does

17:06

Lady McBth say in act one, scene five?

17:08

I'm going to fill you with evil. Guys,

17:11

McBth has no emotion. McBth has no

17:14

feelings. He's like an object,

17:16

something. It has no feelings. That's

17:18

what McBTH has

17:20

become. How would you use this quote,

17:23

guys? Come on. After that, how how can

17:25

you not use the court? It fits bloody

17:28

everything. How does it fit kingship?

17:31

McBth isn't the rightful

17:34

king. He's an impostor. He's ruined

17:37

kingship. That's the king. Something

17:40

wicked this way comes. How does it

17:42

present the witches? Twofold. It could

17:45

present the witches as being in awe of

17:48

Makbath or it could present the witches

17:51

as being powerful because this is what

17:53

they've done. They made him become like

17:56

this from brave mcbth to something

18:00

wicked. Same point goes for lady McBth.

18:03

She also has a part in this

18:07

change. Um any other things? Any other

18:10

things? Any other things? Guilt. If the

18:12

question of guilt comes up, guys, the

18:14

witches feel no guilt. The witches feel

18:17

no guilt. They don't care. There's no

18:19

remorse at all. Even McBth at this point

18:23

feels no guilt. Why? Because like a drug

18:25

addict, he's going back to the dealer.

18:28

He's going back to the witches for

18:31

more. O, guys, I'm telling you, these

18:34

two quotes here, just these two, forget

18:36

these four. Just these two by themselves

18:39

can smash your exams. Now I know some

18:42

clever clogs might say, "Oh sir, is it

18:44

plagiarism? If we take these ideas, no

18:48

silly, of course it's not. I'm giving

18:50

you ideas. This is what teachers do in

18:53

school. We're analyzing quotes. Your job

18:56

is to write the paragraph. Your job is

18:59

to structure it. Your job is to show me

19:02

your chef's kiss and make it look

19:04

perfect." I'm just teaching you. I'm

19:06

just giving you ideas. So please please

19:08

don't say in the comments, "Oh sir, is

19:11

AQA going to kill me if I take these

19:13

ideas?" Guys, this is teaching. This is

19:15

what teaching is all about. But remember

19:17

what all say guys, never copy somebody

19:19

else's work because then you are

19:21

cheating. Written work. By the way,

19:24

don't copy someone else's written work.

19:26

All right guys, paragraph number three,

19:30

act five, scene five. So act two, scene

19:33

one. Act four, scene one. Act five,

19:35

scene five. Guys, isn't it concerning

19:37

how well I know

19:39

McBTH? But let's carry. Lady McBth has

19:43

just committed suicide. Life got too

19:45

much for her and she thought, "I'm done.

19:47

Peace out. Bye-bye, everybody." And she

19:50

commits suicide. And the armies of

19:53

McDuff and the armies of Malcolm and the

19:57

armies of Donald Bane are now around the

20:00

castle. And when Lady McBth dies, McBth

20:05

begins to deep life a little bit. And he

20:08

says, "Life is but a walking shadow."

20:12

It's a metaphor because it compares life

20:14

to a shadow. That's the comparison.

20:17

That's the metaphor. Now, what does this

20:19

mean, guys? You know, I argue. I say

20:23

that Lady McBth had a hold over McBth.

20:26

And when she

20:28

dies, one of her spells over McBth is

20:32

lifted. One of her one of the things

20:36

that she uses to control McBth is

20:39

lifted. And then he's like, "What the

20:41

heck is going on? What have I been

20:43

doing?" And he compares life to a

20:45

walking shadow. Guys, you know, if

20:48

something is walking, it's it's it's

20:51

always fleeting you. It's always going

20:54

away from you. And then he says it's a

20:57

walking shadow guys. Your shadow. You

21:00

can never catch your shadow because when

21:02

you move the shadow moves. When you move

21:05

it moves again. So McBth here guys is

21:09

saying what have I been

21:11

doing. I've been

21:13

chasing. First I wanted to be the king.

21:17

So I killed

21:18

Duncan. Then that wasn't enough. Then I

21:21

killed Makdaf's children and Lady Makdaf

21:24

because they were a

21:25

threat. He realizes that as a man, as a

21:30

human, you are never satisfied with your

21:33

desires. You are constantly

21:36

chasing. And the next part of the quote,

21:38

guys, is life is but a walking shadow.

21:41

And then he says that it's it's a tale

21:43

told by an

21:45

idiot signifying nothing. Why do I know

21:48

the play of a heart? But anyway guys,

21:50

that's what he says. And what he's

21:53

saying is this, that everything I've

21:55

done so far has been for nothing.

21:59

Because as humans, we are chasing,

22:01

chasing, chasing, chasing. But we're

22:04

never

22:05

satisfied. You got money, you want more

22:07

money. You get a house, you want a

22:09

bigger

22:11

house. You get a nice car, you want the

22:13

better, you want the better car next

22:14

year. You buy the iPhone 15, now you

22:17

want the iPhone 16. You got a grade

22:19

seven, now you want a grade eight.

22:21

You're constantly, constantly,

22:23

constantly chasing, chasing, chasing.

22:26

And this is one of the rare moments in

22:29

the play that I would argue, this is one

22:32

of the rare moments, guys, in the play

22:34

that I would argue McBth feels

22:37

regret. McBth here, guys, shows for a

22:40

split second that he has a little bit of

22:44

regret. I would say a little bit. Don't

22:46

get carried away. Don't say McBth

22:47

changes completely. That's a bit too

22:49

much. But he has a he has a momentary

22:52

um moment of regret that takes

22:56

place. But it's too late. Why is it too

22:58

late? The armies are literally about to

23:00

enter the castle. He's about to get

23:02

mercked by those soldiers. So guys,

23:05

Freud and the id said it earlier. It's

23:08

the idea of worshiping something and

23:11

being a slave to your desire. Guys, you

23:13

want to make a point? Maybe at this

23:15

point McBth realizes the danger of

23:18

following your

23:22

it. Now the last part, the verb walking

23:26

is what I would zoom into because it's a

23:28

constant chase and you can never catch

23:29

it. Now how would I use this quote? This

23:31

is a very good quote to use. Let's say

23:33

you get kingship. Let's say you get

23:35

guilt. Let's say you get betrayal. How

23:37

could you use it for kingship? Guys, you

23:39

want to make a point in this quote? Even

23:41

kingship isn't

23:44

enough or the type of kingship he

23:46

acquired isn't enough because at the end

23:49

of the day it means nothing. Why?

23:51

Because everyone is going to die. His

23:54

wife just committed

23:56

suicide. She was the

23:58

queen. Think about it. The queen just

24:01

committed suicide. How much did the

24:03

title of the queen mean to her if she

24:06

killed

24:07

herself? So McBth is thinking, "What the

24:10

heck, man? I've been chasing the

24:11

kingship. What

24:13

for? Guilt. He's now feeling a tiny bit

24:17

of

24:18

guilt. He now feels a tiny bit of

24:23

remorse. How could you use this quote

24:26

for Lady

24:28

McBth? Guys, life is but a walking

24:31

shadow. You could use this quote to show

24:34

the I I always say it to show how the

24:38

control she has over McBth is now lifted

24:41

because he almost wakes up the moment

24:43

she dies. So it's like when she dies,

24:46

one of her one of the spells spells she

24:49

casts over him is coming off. Don't know

24:52

why I made that sound, but you get what

24:54

I mean.

24:55

Um, the witches, I would use this quote,

24:58

guys, to show how the witches don't have

24:59

full control over McBth. They

25:03

don't. McBth can think for

25:06

himself. The witches are not as powerful

25:09

as we

25:10

thought. Death is the ultimate reminder.

25:13

God is still in control of our text. All

25:16

right, guys. Paragraph number four.

25:19

Paragraph number four, act one, scene

25:22

three. I believe the instruments of

25:24

darkness tell us truths only to betray

25:27

us. The next part of the quote, should

25:30

you want to go that far, only to betray

25:32

us. I believe it says in deepest

25:34

consequence. Um, but I've taken that

25:36

part of the quote, guys. Um, now let's

25:39

go over the techniques first. Here we

25:42

have a

25:43

metaphor because Banquo is comparing the

25:47

witches to instruments of darkness.

25:52

Now let's go over that part guys. This

25:55

quote for me is again a lovely quote.

25:59

All of these quotes are

26:01

lovely instruments. What do you do with

26:03

an instrument? You play an instrument,

26:05

right? So the first part I would say is

26:08

that the witches are not playing

26:10

instruments. The witches are playing

26:12

people. So somebody's going to get

26:15

played. Who gets played? Everyone gets

26:17

played. McBth gets played. Lady McBth

26:20

gets played. Even you can argue Bango

26:23

himself gets played because in act three

26:27

scene one in

26:29

Bangor's he says how he suspects that

26:33

McBth became the king in a bad way.

26:36

Meaning he suspects that McBth killed

26:38

Duncan but he starts saying hm they also

26:43

promised me that I'm going to have a

26:45

line of kings. So even he the one who

26:50

warns us about the witches ends up

26:53

listening and to an extent waiting for a

26:56

prophecy to come

26:58

true. Bit of an idiot move there but it

27:00

is what it is. So it's a metaphor guys

27:02

because somebody's going to get played.

27:04

Now instruments of what? Darkness.

27:06

They're going to play you in an evil

27:08

way. They're going to control you in an

27:11

evil way. Now the instrument of darkness

27:14

tell us truths. Banko says, "Listen,

27:17

McBth, they're going to tell you certain

27:20

things that will be true, but then

27:23

they're going to betray you." Now, they

27:25

only tell McBth two things, but look at

27:27

the juxiposition in what they tell him.

27:30

In act one, scene three, they say, "All

27:33

hail McBth, uh, Stain of Glam, Stain of

27:35

Cordor, and shall be king

27:38

hereafter." The first three things they

27:41

say to McBth are very clear. They're not

27:43

confusing. The literally one line in the

27:46

play, glamis, cordoro, king. Those are

27:49

three things they tell McBth in act one,

27:53

scene three. They tell him clay

27:58

truths. They tell him things that make

28:01

sense. Then in act four, scene one, they

28:06

speak in absolute riddance. They pull

28:09

him in. They get him on side with the

28:12

first set of prophecies.

28:14

But when they got McBth's trust, when

28:17

they got McBth where they want him, now

28:20

they are ready to betray him. They've

28:24

used Makbath. What did they use Makbath

28:26

for? To kill the king. Job's done. Now

28:30

we don't need you. And now we're going

28:32

to betray you leading to your downfall.

28:35

And what's the second set of prophecies?

28:37

The first one I believe is beware

28:40

Maktaf. Make sense?

28:42

But the second one says, "No man born of

28:45

a woman can harm you." How does that

28:47

make sense? How can you tell me on one

28:50

hand, "Beware, Maktaf, who's a man." And

28:53

then on the other hand, tell me, "Don't

28:56

worry about it. No man can harm you. No

28:59

man born of a woman can harm you." Guys,

29:02

that prophecy juxtaposes that prophecy.

29:06

The prophecies don't make sense. They

29:09

are confusing McBth. And then the third

29:11

prophecy is even worse. What's the third

29:14

prophecy? Until Burnham wood comes to

29:17

Dansen, you're going to be good. What

29:20

does that mean? It means until the

29:22

forest, until the woods come walking to

29:25

your house, you're going to be good.

29:27

Imagine McBth here thinking how the hell

29:30

are trees going to walk? How are leaves

29:34

and branches going to walk? How is a man

29:37

not born of a woman going to harm me?

29:39

Because every man is born of a

29:42

woman. But then beware

29:44

McDuff guys, the witches in the second

29:48

set of prophecies are confusing as hell.

29:52

Why? Because the instruments of

29:54

darkness. Bango told us this. Bango at

29:57

the beginning foreshadowed the entire

29:59

play. Wrong quote over here. Yeah, guys.

30:02

Bango here foreshadowed the entire play.

30:05

how he told us that the instruments of

30:09

darkness, meaning the witches, will get

30:12

you on

30:14

side until they've used

30:17

you. And then they will betray you

30:21

leading to a deepest consequence. And

30:23

what is the deep consequence? McDuff

30:26

chops his head off and Lady McBth

30:29

commits suicide. How how what else can

30:32

happen that is worse than that?

30:36

And that is how I would use that quote

30:38

guys. This quote here is a lovely quote.

30:41

Um that's the position. Uh the metaphor

30:45

is a comparison. And the context I would

30:47

use guys is the betrayal of the

30:48

supernatural. Never trust them. Never

30:51

trust these beings. Now how would you

30:53

use this question guys? How would you

30:55

kingship is a lovely one for this one.

30:57

How would I use this for uh kingship

31:00

now? You know, guys, it

31:02

really I don't want to get too angry,

31:05

but it really kind of gets to me how

31:08

everyone has the same copy and paste

31:10

paragraph that the witches target McBth

31:13

because McBth is ambitious. Guys, come

31:15

on, man. You're ambitious. I'm

31:19

ambitious. You wouldn't be watching

31:21

these videos if you weren't ambitious.

31:23

Cuz you don't want to fail your

31:27

exams. Bangor is ambitious.

31:30

McBth is

31:32

ambitious. What could be another reason

31:35

other than ambition as to why the

31:38

witches target McBth? Guys, I argue a

31:41

real good argument to use is this. The

31:44

witches don't give a monkeys about

31:46

McBth. That's why they allow him to die.

31:50

Who do they care about? The

31:52

king. The witches use Makbath to destroy

31:57

kingship. And the moment McBth has

32:00

killed the king, they betray him because

32:03

they don't need him. So an argument you

32:06

can make that in this quote, Banko shows

32:09

us how the witches are tactical. They

32:12

are strategic. They target

32:16

kingship, the instruments of darkness.

32:18

They're not playing with McBth and

32:21

Bango. They want to destroy the king

32:23

because the king is the one that's

32:25

caused all their problems. He's the one

32:28

who's burning witches to the stake. He's

32:31

the one who's chucking them off

32:33

mountains. He is the one that represents

32:35

God. So the witches target

32:38

kingship. Then guys, for the other

32:41

characters genuinely, I would say that

32:42

this quote shows how every single one of

32:45

them is a victim. Bangor is a victim.

32:47

McBth is a victim. Lady McBth is a

32:50

victim of the game that is played by the

32:53

witches. And for the witches themselves,

32:56

guys, don't mess with these girls. They

32:58

are

32:59

powerful. Say what you like about them,

33:03

but they are powerful because at the end

33:06

of the day, they are the last one

33:08

standing. Duncan falls, Bankor falls,

33:11

Lady McFetth falls, McBth falls. But the

33:15

witches, they're fine. They played their

33:18

game and they said, "Peace out." All

33:21

right, guys. A paragraph for everyone.

33:23

Paragraph number four. Paragraph number

33:25

four, guys. Act one, scene

33:27

one. Guys, again, this is a lovely

33:30

quote. If you analyze it the way I'm

33:32

going to tell you, thunder, in thunder,

33:35

lightning, or in rain off the bat, yes,

33:38

it's pathetic fallacy. Um, because the

33:41

weather being used reflects a very,

33:43

very, very terrible, very nasty, very,

33:45

very destructive mood. We know that.

33:48

Tick. Done. Put that to one side.

33:52

in thunder, lightning, or in rain.

33:56

Guys, open your ears and listen to me

33:58

because I'm going to give you a

34:00

beautiful analysis. I've given this in

34:03

previous videos, but I'm going to give

34:04

it to you

34:05

fresh. Use this quote like this.

34:09

So, yes, it shows how powerful the

34:12

witches are because the witches are

34:14

choosing between the weathers, right?

34:15

They're saying, "Shall we meet in

34:17

thunder? Shall we meet in lightning?" or

34:20

not and or in rain, which shows that

34:25

Shakespeare gives these lovely,

34:27

beautiful women godlike powers because

34:31

they're able to choose between the

34:35

weather. Cool. We get that point.

34:38

They're powerful at everything. But this

34:40

is how I want you to analyze this.

34:44

I want you guys to say that this quote

34:47

shows us and Shakespeare foreshadows the

34:50

entire text. You know the majority of

34:54

Shakespeare plays. What do they begin

34:56

with? They begin with a prologue. What

34:59

is a prologue? A prologue is when

35:01

somebody comes out on stage and tells

35:03

you what the play is about. I argue act

35:06

one, scene one of McBTH is our informal

35:10

prologue, our unofficial prologue. In

35:13

this quote, the witches tell us

35:16

everything that will happen.

35:19

How? The first part of the quote,

35:21

thunder. Thunder is heard, right?

35:24

Thunder is something you hear. Now, in

35:28

act

35:29

one, there's so much

35:32

noise. So much r. There's so much

35:35

noise. Talking and talking and talking

35:38

and talking and talking. Who's talking?

35:42

Who's the thunder of act one? Lady McBth

35:45

and the

35:46

witches. They don't be quiet. Mainly

35:49

Lady McBth. And who are they talking to?

35:52

They talking to McBth. The thunder is

35:55

just rogue is just going on and on and

35:57

on and on. Now what does thunder cause?

36:01

Thunder causes lightning. After thunder

36:03

there's

36:04

lightning. Lightning is a rare

36:08

act. Very few people are hit by

36:10

lightning. For example, lightning is a

36:12

rare

36:14

thing. What is the rare

36:17

act? What is the once in a lifetime act

36:21

that the thunder in our play causes? The

36:24

killing of

36:25

Duncan. Kings being killed in their bed

36:28

was not normal like lightning. It was

36:31

very very rare to be struck by

36:34

lightning. The thunder caused the

36:36

lightning. The talking of the witches

36:38

which was the thunder. The talking of

36:40

Lady McBth which was the thunder. It led

36:43

to the lightning. But after the

36:46

lightning, what comes next is the rain.

36:49

Rain is not rare. Everyone gets wet.

36:52

Everyone gets drenched. Everyone gets

36:55

soaked. When McBth kills the

36:58

king,

37:00

everyone suffers

37:02

afterwards. Go through the mall.

37:05

Malcadain have to run. Lady McBth and

37:09

McBth, I've explained what happened to

37:11

them. Bango ends up six feet deep.

37:14

Fiance ends up without a dad and the

37:16

guy's god knows where. Lady McDuff and

37:18

Makdaf, sorry. Lady Makdaf and her child

37:21

are killed. Makdaf loses a family.

37:24

Everyone gets

37:25

wet. That is why this quote thunder,

37:29

lightning, and rain can be seen as a

37:32

symbol of the entire play McBth. And it

37:35

can be seen as the foreshadowing. The

37:37

witches are telling us in act one, scene

37:40

one, what will happen in this

37:43

text. If you're going to analyze like

37:46

that, it is a lovely, lovely quote to

37:49

use. Uh it shows you guys, this quote

37:52

shows you the power of the

37:54

witches and it shows you honestly how

37:57

the other characters didn't have a

37:59

chance. They were going to rule the text

38:01

for a little while. They were going to

38:03

win for a little while.

38:05

Nobody to the chance because the thunder

38:08

was too strong, the lightning was too

38:10

powerful, and the rain left nobody out.

38:14

Nobody. From the king to a kid like

38:17

Fiance, everyone was impacted by the

38:22

supernatural. That is so good. I should

38:25

give myself a round of applause.

38:26

Paragraph number six, guys. Paragraph

38:29

number six. Now, out of all my quotes,

38:33

out of all my

38:34

quotes, this one is my least favorite,

38:38

but it's there because it serves a

38:41

purpose. Now, the quote is from act one,

38:44

scene two, unseen him from the nave to

38:48

the chops. That's the quote. He unseen

38:51

him from the nave to the chopped chops.

38:55

Now, when you unseam something, you tear

38:58

it apart, guys. You tear it apart. If I

39:01

tear my jumper, I won't do that right

39:04

now cuz I might get cancelled. But if I

39:06

tear my jumper, guys, I tear the seams.

39:09

I tear it apart. Now, it says that McBth

39:13

when he fights on the battlefield, he

39:15

unseen the enemy from the belly button

39:18

to the chin. He cuts them open. Now,

39:21

think about how McBth fights. When

39:24

you're on a battlefield, your enemy is

39:27

wearing armor. your enemy is wearing is

39:31

wearing is wearing is wearing like maybe

39:33

a shield or whatever they've got and

39:35

then they've got their body and then

39:37

they've got their muscles. So for McBth

39:41

to cut somebody open, he can't fight 2 m

39:45

apart like co he's got to get

39:48

close because he's got to cut you in and

39:51

then go all the way up. You can't do

39:54

this from far away. It's not going to

39:56

work. You're not going to open. You

39:58

might cut them, but you're not going to

40:00

open them up. So for McBth to kill you,

40:03

he comes close like he can smell you.

40:06

He's not afraid of you. He has so much

40:10

confidence in his ability that he comes

40:12

right near you. I was not going to kiss

40:15

my hand, but yeah, he comes right near

40:17

you and then he cuts you in and then he

40:21

cuts you all the way up from the nave to

40:25

the chops.

40:27

That's how McBth kills. The guy is a

40:30

gorilla versus a 100 men. The guy is an

40:34

absolute savage. He loves the kill. He

40:38

loves the idea of

40:40

warfare. That's who McBth is. That's the

40:44

guy you're messing around with. And

40:46

that's how you want to view this

40:48

character. He is taking no prisoners.

40:51

When people say McBth is a really

40:53

powerful guy, guys, come on, give the

40:56

guy credit. He is

40:59

singlehandedly destroying armies after

41:02

armies. And the crazy thing is he loves

41:05

it. He's not afraid of you. He's coming

41:08

close, killing, and moving on. Now guys,

41:11

why is it chrommorphism? Because he

41:13

treats his opponents like they're

41:15

objects. He unseen

41:17

them. You don't unseem humans. You

41:20

unseen things, you unseen jumpers.

41:22

That's why it's

41:23

chemorphism. Patriarchy, guys, because

41:26

McBth is the perfect man contextually.

41:28

Contextually, I don't want to upset

41:30

somebody here, but McBth is the perfect

41:32

man, guys,

41:33

contextually. And violent imagery, guys,

41:36

I very rarely use it, but here it fits

41:39

perfectly. This is gruesome. This is

41:41

nasty. This is disgusting. Now, how

41:44

would you use this quote? Obviously guys

41:46

for McBth it shows how powerful he is,

41:48

how much of a savage warrior he is, how

41:50

undefeable he

41:52

is for for for the witches. This is very

41:55

important for the witches. Guys, you

41:57

know how I always say this guys, I have

42:01

an app. I have an app everything

42:04

education. There is an app in the app

42:06

store and an app in the play store. So

42:08

if you click the link in the

42:10

description, do go and download that

42:12

app. The app has almost 15,000 questions

42:16

and it is updated weekly. I believe it's

42:19

on the verge of becoming one of the best

42:22

apps for your learning. It covers

42:24

everything for English, everything for

42:25

maths and everything for science. So

42:28

guys, do head over to the app store or

42:29

the play store and do download the

42:31

everything education app. You want to be

42:34

the best, you got to beat the best. The

42:37

witches they this quote shows also how

42:40

powerful they are because in coming to

42:43

McBth they come and take the

42:46

strongest. How can I explain this guys?

42:49

Let's let's look look guys. Imagine

42:51

you've got a gorilla. Let's use the

42:53

analogy guys. You've got a gorilla

42:55

versus a 100 men. And there's one guy

42:58

out of the 100 men who everyone's

43:00

relying upon. He's the guy who's killed

43:04

a thousand gorillas.

43:06

He's the guy who's got all the

43:08

experience. He's the guy that the other

43:11

99 came with because he's the one

43:13

they're going to rely upon. Imagine he

43:17

switched sides and joined the

43:20

gorilla. I can't believe I'm using that

43:22

example, but it makes sense, guys. If he

43:25

switched, if the gorilla can make him

43:28

switch, then what hope do the others

43:30

have? This quote shows how powerful

43:33

McBTH is. Because if the witches can

43:36

turn McBth, if the witches can flip

43:39

McBth, guys, nobody got a chance. He was

43:42

the best soldier. He was the best in the

43:45

entire kingdom. He was the trusted

43:49

soldier. And he turns and kills the

43:51

king. So, it shows you how powerful the

43:54

witches

43:55

are. It shows you how ambition is like a

43:58

drug. All you got to do is dangle it in

44:01

front of people and they'll come

44:02

running.

44:04

But guys, that's a very very very lovely

44:06

quote. Now look guys, remember this.

44:09

Remember remember

44:11

remember I've given you six. I've given

44:14

you six quotes on the day of your exam.

44:18

All you got to do is make two of them

44:20

fit. Guys, two of these are definitely

44:23

going to fit. How can they not? What

44:26

they going to ask you? How is the tree

44:28

presented in Mbth?

44:31

Two of these quotes 100% will fit on the

44:34

day of your

44:36

exam. Learn them, use them. My advice

44:39

guys to you would be this. So my

44:42

favorite quotes are one 2

44:46

3 4 5 6. That's the order like if I was

44:50

ranking the quotes. Every essay I do for

44:54

McBTH, I'm going to use this quote.

44:55

every single essay because I need form

44:58

and this gives me that paragraph there

45:01

and I can make this quote for

45:03

everything. Then I would use one of the

45:05

other five. Now guys, what I would do is

45:08

this today, sit down, get a pen, get a

45:11

paper and go through the past papers. So

45:15

if you go to

45:19

everythingucation.co.uk, is it going to

45:20

work guys? If you go to

45:22

everythingucation.co.uk, UK. If you

45:25

click on past papers, if you go to

45:28

English

45:29

literature, if you then go to paper one,

45:33

you'll find all the past papers

45:35

beautifully structured there for you.

45:38

So, take the plan and open up the past

45:41

papers. Let's let's do one together.

45:45

Take the plan, guys, and open up the

45:46

past papers and go to the questions. So

45:50

this question says talk about what is

45:53

it? Talk about ambition in mcbth. Then

45:56

once you've read the question plan two

45:59

paragraphs based upon the extract and

46:02

then go

46:05

here and look at these six and decide

46:10

which two you would use. So for example,

46:12

what what would I use? I would use this

46:14

one. How ambition is dangerous. That's

46:17

the first one I would use. Ambition is a

46:19

dream. No matter what you achieve,

46:21

you're never satisfied. I would use that

46:23

one. So, I would use that one and I

46:25

would use that one. But then what I

46:27

would do, guys, is write out the

46:29

paragraphs from the P to the L. Write

46:32

out the entire paragraph. If you can

46:35

keep doing this today, tomorrow,

46:38

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

46:40

Sunday, by the time your exams come,

46:42

you've used these paragraphs seven

46:45

times. On Monday, just do it an eighth

46:47

time. But really practice these

46:50

paragraphs. All right,

46:52

cool. How long was that

46:55

video? Okay, guys. I hope you found

46:58

benefit in that video. These are the

47:01

videos we care about, not the prediction

47:03

videos. I hope you found benefit in

47:06

these videos,

47:07

guys. I have one coming out for

47:10

Christmas Carol, one coming out for

47:12

Jacqueline Hyde, one coming out for

47:14

Romeo and Juliet. Then I've got a video

47:17

coming out where I'm going to go through

47:19

an entire English literature paper and

47:22

then you guys will do your exam and then

47:24

the content will be for literature paper

47:26

two. All right guys, I hope you found

47:28

the video beneficial. It's been Mr.

47:30

Everything English.

47:32

Peace.
