How To Write The PERFECT Macbeth GCSE Essay On The Theme Of “Betrayal”! | 2025 GCSE English Exams

[@beautifulpetunia8279]

You are a great teacher! Thank you so much for your so helpful presentation!❤!!!

[@FirstRateTutors]

You are so welcome!

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

What you should be trying is doing a video on a question most probably coming up that is relatively niche. Something that doesn’t come up usually when talking abt Macbeth but is still a relevant thing in the play. Could be a niche theme or niche. Because this way, the harder things are covered whereas the easier things like theme of guilt, theme of vengeance, theme of ambition, etc can be done by us ourselves since those questions aren’t that hard. Maybe do a poll on ur KZbin so that u can get opinions of other students since this is just for me. Consider doing this same method for other plays.

I beg you shut up

[@hayaosman2701]

if a hard theme comes you can just link them to the easier ones in some way

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

@@hayaosman2701 so true 😂 beat around the bush. I’ll be doing that in approximately 3 hours for my IGCSEs

love your videos, can this be used for eduqas exam board?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Yes! Any exam board ☺

[@Elphantscar]

Hi Miss, should I write a conclusion paragraph too, or is that sort of covered in paragraph 3? Also, these videos are so good and really easy to understand, I feel like I've learned so much! Thank you!

[@FirstRateTutors]

You can definitely end with a conclusion as long as you spend enough time on your thesis and main paragraphs!

[@AdamMonkey-so3yh]

@@FirstRateTutors theres no theme of betrayal in aic bro

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

@@AdamMonkey-so3yhthey mean do something like this for AIC. Also there is a theme of betrayal. It’s not a direct theme but it is a theme. E.g:- Gerald betrays Sheila by having an affair with Eva. E.g2:- Eric stealing money from his father, Arthur Birling. It’s not a prominent theme but it still is a theme.

[@Jeymallo]

Can i know if only 3 paragraphs is enough to get a nearly full marks for macbeth?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Depends on how much you wrote and if you added context, etc. I think it's unlikely to get full marks with 3 paragraphs BUT you can still do well if you included good points - I explain this in my Macbeth video where I show how to get full marks with just 4 paragraphs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ-1c5l3Z9N7e7c

[@Jeymallo]

@@FirstRateTutors Thank you

[@sugar7649]

Is this for edexcel?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Either - so this can fit into Part B for EDEXCEL / AQA (the whole question)

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

I have a question, do you think that GCSE and IGCSE questions may be the same or could be somewhat similar since I’m doing IGCSE and I want to believe this is what can come up. Thanks again, I’ve been watching your videos for s long time as an IGCSE student.

[@FirstRateTutors]

IGCSE (if you're sitting Paper 2, IGCSE - the modern drama and literary heritage text) is a little different as you're not given the extract - it's 100% memory. That makes the points I put here / paragraph layout central as your paragraph structure must be solid - you don't have an extract to work with, it's 100% memory and you've got to make sure you have a good essay structure that's easy for your examiner to follow.

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

@@FirstRateTutors you’re mistaken. Our paper 2 is an open book exam.

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

Hey! You there, scrolling through the comments I see. Give me 2 quotes that involve Banquo’s betrayal and/or a quote that shows Macbeths hallucinations! Let’s see how much you know….

[@Enchxnted_fnm]

@@SamirYusuf-p8l very nice 👍 wish me luck I’ve got my IGCSEs in 3 hours

[@Amber12327]

Hey can someone please please please answer this I literally have a exam tmrw wont we get marked down for using this plan cause it doesn’t talk about effect on readers or language structure and form im really confused

[@AbdulRehman-cr4vc]

I'm also confused, but the reason might be cause of different ways of teachings, do what you are comfortable with, do not change your flow as this is the last day but you can still improve

[@abaidrehman1686]

Hi, for effect of reader and language structure you just add it on in each paragraph that she said in the video

[@zeussinboots1769]

does this essay work for edexcel gcse??

[@FirstRateTutors]

Yes! Any syllabus

[@ArinSharef]

i thought macbeth killled duncan at act 2 scene 2

[@Rishydishy24]

is this edexcel?

[@Plodiacccc]

I'm pretty sure it's AQA.....but I guess you could apply it for both.

[@gibz6_beats]

macbethh kills duncan in act 2 i thought

[@shan8096]

I feel like the question could be about Macduff

[@FirstRateTutors]

Macduff alone?! I don't think so... they don't want you guys to fail! 😂
