Actual exam in 2hours 😅
Good luck man
Thanks so much for the helpful analysis! Perhaps the reason the witches don't appear again after Act 4 Scene 1 is to symbolise the restoration of the natural order. The rightful heir Malcolm with the aid of Macduff and other Scottish nobles challenge Macbeth's rule and emerge victorious, ending the supernatural theme seen throughout the play (the witches, the weather, etc.) due to Macbeth surpassing his rightful state within the Great Chain of Being
Good idea!
That's an awesome analysis!
THANK YOU
Good luck everyone! I got my mocks in January xD ,
Manifesting that everyone does amazing!
thank youu 💕
when
Same

@@kittyhumphreysx817 wtf I was just scrolling through the comments?
Anyone ever thought that "Burnham wood" is a homophone for 'burn them'.
my october mocks start next week and this comes up !! thank you so so much

@@nancymansaray8611 no i dont think we did get the same question

Dear Mr Bruff, I just aced my english exam and it's all thanks to you, my in depth analysis and A03 points wouldn't have existed had it not been for these videos, such a great help and not one video you create is unhelpful, thankyou so so much!
Thank you- I appreciate that!
Hi, could you please do a video on the different types of structures used in poetry? For example, you’d be explaining: anaphora, blank verse, caesura, etc. This would be really helpful, if there is already a video on this could you please give me the name/link to it. Thank you.
yes !!
This video has made Shakespeare so much more interesting, Thanks!
Great!
Kathryn Hunter's performance as all three witches in the 2021 movie did a really good job of recapturing that otherworldly and haunting feel.
Helped me alot ,cheers appreciate your grind

Hey, in one of your previous videos you mentioned that the use of context is 6 marks. Where can I find this information and how many marks are awarded for other techniques? For e.g. Alternative interpretations...
sparknotes has a lot of context on macbeth
@@pipmam5221 I meant, where can I find the breakdown of how many marks are awarded for the use of specific analysis, for e.g. Context = 6 marks...
@@aaryanramani1699 They are called assessment objectives. So for the AQA exam board AO2=language, form and structure analysis= 12 marks
@@pipmam5221 Thanks
What does Mr Bruff mean by stressed and unstressed syllables?
Just emphasises basically, so its like volumising it in a sense
he menas in a ryming way, and when words begin with same letter: e.g. "Fair is foul and foul is fair."
Macbeth mock tomorrow Thankyou for the last minute revision!! X
TOMORROW?? why is it so early? Mine is in november

Guys I really need your help how do the witches describe Macbeth?
as not pure evil and over ambitious
'something wicked this way comes'
They view him as easily manipulative and Hecate describes Macbeth as something wicked this way comes demonstrating how bad Macbeth really is
haha no gcse for me only mini tests but this will help thanks
at first I didn't like dis but actually its really helped me! thx!
Great!

Jesus loves you and died for your sins. All He asks is that you recognize that you are a sinner and then ask for forgiveness! Ask Him to come into your heart and change you. All you have to do is call upon the name of Jesus and be saved! He’ll give you joy and peace like never before and through reading the Bible, prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit you can develop a relationship with Him - your creator! I hope this helps someone and have a blessed day!💕
amen
