Amazing! You give such in-depth insight into the play that my English’s teachers do not, i had just did my english lit paper 1 and im sure my macbeth analysis was on point ( i used your video about essentialism + extentialism ) just wondering if your going to do videos about inspector calls?

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback - I appreciate you 🧡 I do plan on getting round to AIC at some point, yes... but that won't happen until after this year's GCSEs, I'm afraid!

Hi, I love your videos they’re so helpful! I was wondering if you would be able to create a character analysis of Michel Cassio in Othello, I feel this would be really beneficial for revision! Thank you

Thanks Ciara - I'd love to be able to cover all the requests (including an analysis on Cassio) but the current pipeline is long... that said, if you join my Membership Program ('Mastermind' tier) I will prioritise your video requests. You can do so by clicking the 'Join' button under my videos!

I would have argued that Macbeth's 'fruitless crown' is God punishing Macbeth for regicide

@JenChan Жыл бұрын

Hmm, fair, but Macbeth has always had a "fruitless crown", and it's implied that this was going to be the case even before he had done the regicidal deed...

@ee-tg6zt Жыл бұрын

@@JenChan couldn’t we argue that God knew because of his omniscience but since God can’t directly interfere he punished Macbeth by taking away the gift of children
