Hi, your latest video just came up in my suggested and I thought Id show my appreciation for your amazing videos. Last year I did my GCSE's, in my latest mock I got a low D and then after watching your English Literature videos on OMAM etc I got an A* in paper one and an A in the second paper just as a result of including everything you taught me. Many thanks and I hope your channel continues to grow.

Jekyll sounds like Jackal … which is mentioned more than 14 times in the Bible, as a symbol of loneliness, abandonment and desolation… (Bible translation) Jeremiah 51:37 Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a HISSING, without inhabitant. A Jackal is an animal which mirrors animalistic Hyde who ‘snarls’ and at some point takes a ‘hissing intake of breath’. If Hyde is Jekyll in the flesh … then perhaps Hyde is Jekyll’s hide (like animal skin). .. Jackal sounds like Jack … Jack the Ripper … I still believe these are just coincidences as they are a bit far fetched, but it is fun to imagine!

Yes, the Jackal interpretation just about gets there. Jack the Ripper, however, came after the novel.

Not really, it is only a scam if you know it is going to come up. If they rule out the 4 questions that have appeared in the specimen papers, teachers would quickly work out the 2 or 3 possibilities that are left, and that would also be a scam! As it is, all of them could come up

Yes, get an exam question. Watch 30 minutes of video. Then write a 30 to 45 minute exam answer. In this way, you will retain what you have learned, and also applied it to specific questions, so you will know exactly how to use it in the exam!

Dear Sir, Please may you let me know how to improve on this essay, and also what kind of grade it would get on the AQA spec How does Shakespeare present Tybalt in Act 1 Scene 1 Lines 58-66 and in two other scenes? Tybalt is presented as the antagonist to Romeo who frequently aggravates the fighting, by Shakespeare in the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Shakespeare uses Tybalt to highlight the contrasts between characters, as he takes any opportunity to use violence to keep the feud between the families alive. Firstly, throughout this extract Tybalt is portrayed as being angry, and full of hatred. At the beginning of the play in Act 1, Tybalt exclaims ‘What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word’ which highlights his reluctance to end the feud. Tybalt represents the underlying violence and vengeful nature of society in Verona, while simultaneously acting as a catalyst of continuing the feud. Shakespeare presents this with his use of iambic pentameter, with the stress focusing on the antithesis of ‘hate’ and ‘peace’, therefore making these words prominent to the audience, and establishing that he must be a significant character in the play, as only the higher social classes use this Petrarchan sonnet form. Additionally, Tybalt’s violence is presented by Shakespeare with his juxtaposition to the peace keeping Benvolio. While Tybalt uses the metaphor ‘love upon thy death’, Benvolio responds with ‘ I do but keep the peace’ , highlighting their differences , and representing the different attitudes towards conflict. This allows the audience to see Tybalt’s fiery attitude, and his desperation to ignite conflict, whilst engaging the Elizabethan audience as fighting was often a form of entertainment. Also this immediately establishes the opinions of the audience, as the prefix, Ben, in ‘Benvolio’, has connotations with goodness and benevolence, which is the antithesis to Tybalt’s personality. In addition, Shakespeare presents Tybalt through the play as the foil to all peace making characters, throughout the use of a lexical set. The lexical set of cat imagery, depicting Tybalt as both ‘rat catcher’ and ‘King of Cats’ by Mercutio, not only emphasises the contempt felt by the Montagues towards Tybalt, but also the extent they are antagonising him , suggesting that he is notorious for engaging in fights. Also the semantic field of ‘cats’ highlights that Tybalt is perhaps an experienced fighter, as cats are proverbially said to have nine lives, yet this is ironic as Tybalt is subsequently slain by Romeo. Shakespeare uses Tybalt as a device to represent the violence tearing apart Verona, and suggesting that nothing good would come out of this ‘ancient grudge’, and idea introduced in the prologue. Furthermore, Shakespeare’s use of Tybalt heightens the impact of the climax, with after the moment of peripeteia, Tybalt seeming as if he regrets his actions. Tybalt, who is describes through the epithet ‘fiery Tybalt’, refers to Romeo as ‘wretched boy’. This is a device used by Shakespeare to emphasise the tragedy of Tybalt’s death, and to represent the disastrous effect a feud like this could have on society. Ultimately, Shakespeare presents Tybalt as an angry man who wishes for Verona to remain divided, by aggravating the feud. Shakespeare enables the audience to reflect, through Tybalt, on the insignificance of fighting, and instead promoting peace. Thanks
