Ideally you should only memorize 3 good ones (3X from extract, 3X from wider novel), memorizing a lot will be an overkill as you wont use 10 quotes in a 50 minute exam.
“Brave Macbeth - Well he deserves that name”~Captain (A1, S2) “Let not light see my black and deep desires”~Macbeth (A1, S4) “Unsex me here, and fill me, from crown to toe, top-full of direst cruelty”~Lady Macbeth (A1, S5) “When thou durst do it, then you were a man”~Lady Macbeth (A1, S7) “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand”~Macbeth (A2, S2) “Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow”~Macbeth (A5, S5) “Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under’t” ~Lady Macbeth (A1, S5) “Full of scorpions is my mind”~Macbeth (A3, S2) “Fair is foul, and foul is fair”~The witches (A1, S1) “The instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray’s in deepest consequence”~Banquo (A1, S3)
"Look like the innocent flower but be the innocent flower under't" is not a quote. "Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under't" IS a quote.
the quotes + some analysis: “brave macbeth - well he deserves that name” Ross, A1S2. shows how macbeth is presented at the beginning of the play in contrast to how he is presented towards the end. macbeth called ‘brave’ for defeating a traitor but he also becomes a traitor of the king. “let not light see my dark and deep desires” macbeth, A1S4. hints that macbeth is falling into the trap of evil and slowly becoming a vessel of misconduct for the witches, and begins his spiral into good and evil. the witches are the catalyst of this development in macbeths character. “unsex me here, and fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty” lady macbeth, A1S5. this androboulon emphasises how lady macbeth is aware that she does not hold the power or the authority to commit evil, which is why she defeminises herself and turns to supernatural, commanding evil with desperation to give her masculine qualities so that she becomes the embodiment of evil and gains the strength to kill king duncan. “when thou durst do it, then you were a man” lady macbeth, A1S7. in other words, lady macbeth calls macbeth a coward and emasculates him, which can also show how lady macbeth and macbeth have changed authority and gender roles (lady macbeth asks for masculine traits and macbeth gets emasculated). tipping point for macbeth, he submerges into evil to prove his masculinity to his wife by killing the king (duncan). “will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand” macbeth, A2S2. shows macbeths guilt for killing the king. one of the only times macbeth shows remorse for his actions, and as he progresses and continues killing, he sinks deeper into evil and his remorse for his actions decreases as they become normalised and his greed for power and the king’s position increases. “out, out, brief candle! lifes but a walking shadow” macbeth, A5S2. a shadow doesn’t end, no matter how long you chase it, it wont stop, emphasises macbeths greed for power and the crown and how he wanted more and more that it was endless. “look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under’t” lady macbeth, A1S5. lady macbeth tells macbeth to be deceptive and to fool the king and make it easier to kill him so macbeth can become king. religious imagery, serpent is like the snake in the garden of eden who tempted adam and eve to eat from the tree of knowledge which they weren’t supposed to, shows moral evil and how macbeth is being encouraged to become evil. “fair is foul and foul is fair.” the witches, A1S1. juxtaposition/oxymoron. describes how good is bad and bad is good, emphasises the idea of how macbeth was good and then turned evil as he fell a victim of greed and dark desire. macbeth mimics this phrase in a later scene which foreshadows how he has turned to supernatural and evil to get what he desires and shows how he is a vessel of misconduct.
@@jaysonignu4492 yes!! not all of them apply to the same theme but they all link to a theme in macbeth. if you’d like, i can edit the quotes and link the themes it related to for you
i think for the second quote itll be uselful to remember the line above it as well: "Stars hide your fires" so then you can talk about the rhyming couplets which macbeth talks in this whole stanza, which links to the supernatural and shows its power as the witches speak in rhyming couplets and it tells the reader that there is a key message behind these lines as Shakespeare often used rhyming couplets to highlight an underlying key message
“For brave Macbeth - we’ll be deserves that name” - Ross “Let not light see my dark and deep desires” - Macbeth “Unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty” - Lady Macbeth “When thou durst do it, then you were a man” Lady Macbeth “Will all Neptune’s oceans wipe this blood clean of my hand” - Macbeth “Out out brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow” - Macbeth “Look like th’innocent flower but be the serpent under’t” - Lady Macbeth “O full of scorpions is my mind” - Macbeth “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” - Witches “The instruments of darkness bring us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray in deepest consequences” - Banquo
Macbeth has always been an area i have struggled with due to lacking attention when we first covered this. But with these 10 important quotes, I now feel more confident in my ability. Thank you!
i have my exam tomorrow and this has helped loads. straight to the point yet informative, thank you for this! UPDATE!! i think i did well in the exam. dont ask how but i managed to link fear to the quote at 6:08 and the Neptune ocean quote, this video saved my ass so thank you UPDATE. I got a 6 in the end for anyone wondering. Usually get 3s so 👍
Hi, I’m 67 year old. My school never did anything like this. I’m not sure I could have handled all this if it did? I left school with no qualifications at all. But I have learned so much since then. I found this interesting as a sort of précis for Macbeth and you were so good at giving these quotes meanings through interpretation. Thank you so much for your work.
In act 1 scene 3 macbeth states “ let not light see my deep dark desires” this quote already implies that macbeth has began to think of his villainous thoughts. this is set straight after he meets the witches and before he comes in contacts with lady macbeth. this means that he is the catalyst within this situation as he hadn’t had a push from lady macbeth to think in this manor. this means he has always been a traitor and never really cared for the king and his people but only for his self. the word ‘light’ can be seen as multiple different metaphors, in this situation i think it is too describe God. he states that he does not won’t god to see his desires. this further shows his ambition as he even though god may be against his actions he is still willing to have these thought of murder. shakspeare used macbeths ambition too signify to the audience how his own ambition is his fatal flaw, or hamartia. this will make the jacobean people believe that if they would challenge the king it will end in likely death
@@neilcaffrey7791 bro is it black and deep or is it dark and deep bc my teacher said it was black and deep but then mreverything english is saying dark and deep desires but in my exam in yr 10 i wrote dark and deep desires
i'm not even sure if it matters, but to stay safe i would go with what the original text says, which is black and deep. Im sure you can still apply the same analysis
for 'will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?' you can also include 'No' at the end which Macbeth says straight after asking the question. if you keep the 'No', you can analyse the method not just as rhetoric but also as hypophora which emphasises Macbeth's guilty conscience :)
This is one paragraph that I would say when talking about the theme of power: Shakespeare portrays power in Macbeth to tell the reader that no other character is stronger than Macbeth. We see this when Shakespeare writes 'Brave Macbeth - Well he deserves that name.' The adjective 'Brave' connotes strength which suggests that Macbeth is capable of many things, for example, when Macbeth kills Duncan in order to become king, also, when he kills Banquo because he seems suspicious of him. The verb 'deserves' suggests that Macbeth is worthy enough to be titled 'Brave' as he is capable of killing many people and many others can't do this. This leads to great success for Macbeth because he results in becoming king, however, he later then gets killed by Macduff for his actions. Shakespeare intended to make the reader think that Macbeth is unstoppable and undefeatable as killing many people comes across as a small task for Macbeth. This is why the reader would feel cautious for other character's lives, because the chances of Macbeth succeeding another slaughter is extremely likely. As a result, it's clear that Macbeth is the strongest character in the play because of his killing spree.
@@turtlegaming8961 I wrote this to show the reader how I would analyse 'Brave Macbeth - well he deserves that name.' Depending on the question (mainly a power question), you can use this quote if u can talk elsewhere in the play or if it's in the text.
i just want to say, this is a great paragraph but Macbeth is a play so there wouldn't be a reader but an audience. i dont know how harshly edexcel critiques that misconception but just in case.
In order: 1. Act 1 Scene 1 (The Witches) “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” 2. Act 1 Scene 2 (Ross): “Brave macbeth - well he deserves his name” 3. Act 1 Scene 3 (Banqo) “The instruments of darkness bring us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray in deepest consequences” 4. Act 1 Scene 4 (Macbeth): "Let not light see my dark and deep desires" 5. Act 1 Scene 5 (Lady Macbeth, supernatural, women): “unsex me here, and fill me, from the crown to the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty” 6. Act 1 Scene 5 (Lady Macbeth) “Look like th’innocent flower but be the serpent under’t” 7. Act 1 Scene 7 : (Lady Macbeth) “When thou durst to do it, then you were a man” 8. Act 2 Scene 2: (Macbeth) “Will all great neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand” 9. Act 3 Scene 2 (Macbeth) “O full of scorpions is my mind” 10. Act 5 Scene 2 (Macbeth) “Out out brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow”
I think Macbeth experiences a tremendous amount of guilt following Banquo's murder (a little more than Duncan) first he was not able to kill Banquo himself unlike Duncan which he could do with his own hands but for Banquo, he orders the prisoners to do it for him as he cannot face him after such a betrayal and the reaction of Banquo when he releases that he was right of Macbeth following the witches prophesies; Macbeth was much closer to Banquo than to Duncan which could explain the guilt presented in the form of the supernatural. Then after Banquo's murder, Macbeth began experiencing hallucinations which were all side effects of the great amount of guilt possessed despite him not killing Banquo himself but he still sees Banquo's ghost which ultimately drives him insane but when he kills lady Macduff and her child he is suppressed from the guilt as this has become a common attribute normalised within him despite being partially aware and pessimistic of Macduff's arrival following on from the death of his family.
youre actually a legend man. i was brought here from another video my teacher reccomended and he was completely useless. his quotes linked nothing to the key themes or really made any sense and he gave too many. but the quotes you said were all so useful, linked to every part of the play and all the themes. thank you for making this video, itll come in handy for me as i have a very bad memory lmao. thanks again
I'm like 3 quotes into this video and i know for a fact i will be coming out my mocks with a good grade thanks to this man. edit: i got a 7 and was like 4 marks off an 8 thanks to him
@@unknown-vy7ei no i had to learn how to do analysis but it was the higher level analysis that pushed me up into the next level. I have 1 text where there isn't any quote analysis videos like these and because my analysis of quotes wasn't good enough I got capped at a 6
@@kebabkebab6312 layering. theres 3 layers to ur analysis. 1) zoom in on word give the word class 2) give connotations of word 3) relate connotations back to theme. do this a few times for each quote so you analyse each quote in depth. i mean to do that you need good quotes to start with which is where I struggled
"unnatural deeds do breed unnatural troubles" is also a good quote for the supernatural in general it's said by the doctor in act 5 scene 1 I used it in my mock and it really helped me
17:02 - Knocking at the door signaling the entrance of the Inspector. The white light representing life will become black representing darkness and corruption
the lighting also changes to "brighter and harder" which always reminds me of the interagations in old movies were bad cop shines a lamp in the criminals face whilst interrogating them.

Hi sir thank you so much, used this video the night before my exam. I used to get fours in all of my exams for English lit but even though I had different exam board, your videos helped me so much with how to structure. You helped me get an eight in my gcses.
coukd you please make a full video with complete comparison of each quote, itd really help with the upcoming mocks i have to do, and id watch the full video.
6:08 It is: "Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires" -A1,S4 Macbeth Just so no-one writes the wrong quote in their exam. GL everyone 👍
Doing my own analysis with these quotes I found out pretty quickly that they all link. They share themes and now I feel prepared for my exam in May. I got a 6 in my most recent assessment put I want to be higher as I want to do A-Level Literature. I feel that interlinking quotes and themes will help me get higher grades. Thank you so much sir.
@Genziki ツ they all share particular themes, for example : “stars hide your fire, let not light see my dark and deep desires” can link to the Supernatural, ambition and guilt. Supernatural: “fires” “desires”=rhyming couplet, The Witches speak in rhyme meaning there is an evil message linking with supernatural: murder Ambition: “stars” look nice from far away and that is how people see Macbeth at the start, a strong and brave soldier, however up close they are just destructive balls of gas symbolising Macbeth’s greed for ambition which further leads to his downfall. Guilt: feels guilty having these ‘dark’ thoughts on murdering Duncan so he keeps his “dark desires” away from “light”
I'm in year 9 right now and thought that GCSEs would be overwhelming so I've decided to start learning now though I did doubt whether I'd even understand any of the content, but Mr Everything English has made it so simple and thorough for me to understand everything and answer questions without hesitation, thank you so much, I really appreciate you
I have 3 gcse left and have done no revision and they haven’t even been that bad except history. It’s a good idea what you’re doing just don’t overload urself. Take it easy and do a bit more with each year.
you don’t understand how much ur channel has saved me lol. I used 7 quotes from this video (the question was “how does Shakespeare present Macbeth’s fears throughout the play”) and I’m sure I did really well. and for paper one (A Christmas Carol and An Inspector Calls) I also did really well thanks to you. I struggle with paying attention but your videos make it easier somehow to just sit and get it done. you’ve really saved me, and my classmates have all said the same. thank you, really🙏🏽
7 whole quotes. Congratulations on being able to interweave all of those in an adept manner. If you don't mind, what were the 7 quotes (giving the 3 that weren't used is fine, too.)?
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your quotes. I got my results today and with the help of your quotes I was able to improve from a grade 3 to a grade 9.
Can you please make a video on a comparison between the relationship of Banquo and Macbeth. We are from Sri Lanka doing Edexcel igcse syllabus. Thank you.
OCR makes you learn 'moments' not quotes. So after analysing the extract you must do a min of 2 paragraphs or more on one moment- eg one scene of the play. You get marked down if you talk about two different moments. So we have to learn like 4 quotes for each moment.
"take ten days each to learn these quotes". Yeah I have 13 hours
lol idk which type of people take 10 days to learn quotes, if you have a decent memory you can learn 5 quotes in 10 minutes.

I think Macbeth experiences a tremendous amount of guilt following Banquo's murder (a little more than Duncan) first he was not able to kill Banquo himself unlike Duncan which he could do with his own hands but for Banquo, he orders the prisoners to do it for him as he cannot face him after such a betrayal and the reaction of Banquo when he releases that he was right of Macbeth following the witches prophesies; Macbeth was much closer to Banquo than to Duncan which could explain the guilt presented in the form of the supernatural. Then after Banquo's murder, Macbeth began experiencing hallucinations which were all side effects of the great amount of guilt possessed despite him not killing Banquo himself but he still sees Banquo's ghost which ultimately drives him insane but when he kills lady Macduff and her child he is suppressed from the guilt as this has become a common attribute normalised within him despite being partially aware and pessimistic of Macduff's arrival following on from the death of his family.
11 hours until the exam and this is the first revision I’ve done 💪💪

youre actually a legend man. i was brought here from another video my teacher reccomended and he was completely useless. his quotes linked nothing to the key themes or really made any sense and he gave too many. but the quotes you said were all so useful, linked to every part of the play and all the themes. thank you for making this video, itll come in handy for me as i have a very bad memory lmao. thanks again
I'm like 3 quotes into this video and i know for a fact i will be coming out my mocks with a good grade thanks to this man.
edit: i got a 7 and was like 4 marks off an 8 thanks to him
Good luck 🤞
Did this video alone help you to get such a good grade?
@@unknown-vy7ei no i had to learn how to do analysis but it was the higher level analysis that pushed me up into the next level. I have 1 text where there isn't any quote analysis videos like these and because my analysis of quotes wasn't good enough I got capped at a 6
@@zaraadan716 can you tell me how to do higher analysis I have had the same issue as you did
@@kebabkebab6312 layering. theres 3 layers to ur analysis. 1) zoom in on word give the word class 2) give connotations of word 3) relate connotations back to theme. do this a few times for each quote so you analyse each quote in depth.
i mean to do that you need good quotes to start with which is where I struggled
bro i have exactly 10 hours not 10 days
Same
10 hours if you dont sleep, you basically have 1/3rd of the time left
best macbeth video out there by far, easy to understand and full of depth and information. must watch
"unnatural deeds do breed unnatural troubles" is also a good quote for the supernatural in general
it's said by the doctor in act 5 scene 1
I used it in my mock and it really helped me

Thank you so much... This helped me a lot 😊
please make a video analysing all the quotes in detail
thanks a lot, quick to the point perfect for revision
Doing my own analysis with these quotes I found out pretty quickly that they all link. They share themes and now I feel prepared for my exam in May.
I got a 6 in my most recent assessment put I want to be higher as I want to do A-Level Literature.
I feel that interlinking quotes and themes will help me get higher grades. Thank you so much sir.
Are you sure they're enough to get a good grade?
@Genziki ツ they all share particular themes, for example : “stars hide your fire, let not light see my dark and deep desires” can link to the Supernatural, ambition and guilt.
Supernatural: “fires” “desires”=rhyming couplet, The Witches speak in rhyme meaning there is an evil message linking with supernatural: murder
Ambition: “stars” look nice from far away and that is how people see Macbeth at the start, a strong and brave soldier, however up close they are just destructive balls of gas symbolising Macbeth’s greed for ambition which further leads to his downfall.
Guilt: feels guilty having these ‘dark’ thoughts on murdering Duncan so he keeps his “dark desires” away from “light”
how was it?? :D
@@nika9559 ended up with a 9. Got 28/30 on A Christmas Carol, 27/30 on An Inspector Calls and 58/70 on Macbeth and Unseen Poetry.

last min revisiion 3 hours before exam
you don’t understand how much ur channel has saved me lol. I used 7 quotes from this video (the question was “how does Shakespeare present Macbeth’s fears throughout the play”) and I’m sure I did really well. and for paper one (A Christmas Carol and An Inspector Calls) I also did really well thanks to you. I struggle with paying attention but your videos make it easier somehow to just sit and get it done. you’ve really saved me, and my classmates have all said the same. thank you, really🙏🏽
7 whole quotes. Congratulations on being able to interweave all of those in an adept manner. If you don't mind, what were the 7 quotes (giving the 3 that weren't used is fine, too.)?
What context did you use for a christmas carol?

your videos have helped me a lot this year and I wanted to ask if you could please do quotes for An Inspector Calls
hi sir could u please do one on Jekyll and Hyde and inspectors bc I'm really struggling with both thanks
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your quotes. I got my results today and with the help of your quotes I was able to improve from a grade 3 to a grade 9.
Can you please make a video on a comparison between the relationship of Banquo and Macbeth. We are from Sri Lanka doing Edexcel igcse syllabus. Thank you.
What are some writing techniques that Shakespeare uses in each of these quotes, that would be really helpful.
Thanks
I really like Mr everything he really focuses on main good topics for exams
One hour and 49 mins to learn these quotes 💪💪💪
real
If you do aqa then it’s ok if you paraphrase
1 hour 15 for me 😅 good luck guys
Thanks so much got a PPE tmr this helped a lot
OCR makes you learn 'moments' not quotes. So after analysing the extract you must do a min of 2 paragraphs or more on one moment- eg one scene of the play. You get marked down if you talk about two different moments. So we have to learn like 4 quotes for each moment.
2 days left 😂
"take ten days" yeah i have 53 minutes
36 minutes
That knocking scared me with my headphones. Thought it was my parents and it was LOUD.😂😭 It really sounded like it echoed from where my door was too.
You might have just saved my son 's sanity. Thank you so much. From a desperate mom xx
