When talking about the quote 'Unsex me here', I think it is important to address the fact that Lady Macbeth in fact does not wish to become masculine, but rather achieve solely the cruelty associated with masculinity, without the honour, loyalty and service that would come with it when describing the archetypal Jacobean man. I think this further nuances discussion when analysing this quote, and allows for the debate as to whether or not Lady Macbeth (and her 'wicked' husband) almost become witches themselves as the play unfolds.

[@rahulnarayan2857]

tl:dr - Lady Macbeth wants to remove her femininity, rather than become a man

Thank you for all your insights! I had the amazing experience of playing Lady Macbeth over 40 years ago. I can still remember her lines, as well as many others, locked away forever in my long-term memory. I did not realize the notion that she had so recently lost the baby. The “take my milk” line I took to mean figuratively rather than literally, but it makes sense. The first part of the line that begins, “I have given suck and know how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me,” could be said almost in tears, since she’s still grieving. How powerful it would make that whole speech of hers! I’d make sure to direct it that way if I ever had have the opportunity.

What is the most useful Jekyll and Hyde essay to do as revision (something that will likely come up or that covers most themes that would be in any question)

[@jammypark2933]

Thanks Mr Salles, great video once again, please could you perhaps mark this essay on Lady Macbeth and indicate what grade it would be around and also whether the way I write is in any way confusing or vague. btw i dictated it so there may be random Capitalisations. Shakespeare uses Lady Macbeth to explore how desire for power from a woman can lead to a loving relationship to madness and hallucinations to educate the Jacobean audience to follow the norms of a patriarchal Society and the Jacobian society. Initially Lady Macbeth wishes to be more than a woman - ‘unsex me here’ She wants to transcend gender and be ‘filled from crown to toe with direst cruelty’ . The premodifier ‘direst’ is used To heighten the cruelty she has. She wants to be a supernatural force - ‘O come spirits’ the noun ‘spirits’ having connotations of the supernatural and witchcraft. The imperative verb ‘come’ highlights that she wants power. This contrasts how she was when sleepwalking. She no longer yearns for power as actually understands that she will be damned. ‘Hell is murky’ - The adjective ‘murky’ having connotations or something not being clear, she doesn't know what will happen which heavily contrasts how optimistic she was in Act 1. Alternatively, the idea of murkiness is linked with equivocation - something that is connected with the witches. ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’, The use of chiasmus creates a sense of equivocation and unclearness which parallels Lady Macbeth's murky view on Hell. Shakespeare uses the threat of being damned to warn his Jacobean audience of the consequences of being concerned with such sorcery and heresies. This would have flattered King James I as he was against Witchcraft and wrote about witches in his book of Daemonology. Lady Macbeth's loving relationship begins to deteriorate as she begins to manipulate Macbeth. Macbeth sees her as ‘my dearest partner in greatness’ - the superlative ‘dearest’ emphasises the love that they have for each other. But this contrasts with how much Macbeth reacts after he hears of her death - ‘she should have died hereafter’. Macbeth shows no regard for the death of his own wife, almost as though she was an inconvenience to him. Her death was even offstage perhaps to accentuate his lack of love for her. Shakespeare maybe does so to remind Jacobean Society of patriarchal norms and the devastating effects of not following them. Lady Macbeth is written as a Machiavellian construct to Macbeth into killing the king. She wants to ‘take her milk for gall’ - the noun gall being reminiscent of poison and the ability to kill. Macbeth is ‘ too full o’ the milk of human kindness’. the motif of milk is used so that Lady Macbeth can highlight to Macbeth that they are too humane to commit any sort of murder and if they are going to kill and become powerful they need to get rid of it. ‘Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it’ which contextually links with Original sin as Eve parallels Lady Macbeth as she tempts Macbeth. Perhaps Shakespeare gives power to Lady Macbeth here to go against patriarchy as he himself (18 years old) was married to Anne Hathaway (24 years old) which was quite unusual at the time so Shakespeare may have been criticising patriarchy. However this also contrasts with how Lady Macbeth ends up. Her state of being is described as a ‘disease’ having connotations of something being harmful, which in one way parallels how she manipulated Macbeth as though Macbeth was influenced by this ‘disease’ Lady Macbeth. Alternatively she is no longer wanted by any part of society. Her Madness which can be seen from the repetition of ‘to bed’ and ‘come’. She has stepped too far in what she has done - ‘all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand’ The connotations of the noun ‘perfumes’ are reminiscent of trying to mask and hide what’s really there and the fact that she can’t do so accentuates how bad her mental state is. It’s quite ironic how she refers to her hand as a ‘little’ one despite how much of an influence she had on Macbeth. Shakespeare does create a pejorative ambience and heightens the madness of Lady Macbeth to once again warn Jacobean society of not following patriarchal norms. Though Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are separated they still linguistically echo each other ‘Out damned sport!’ . ‘Out brief candle’ The use of linguistic echoing perhaps is trying to say Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are of equal sin, which would’ve appealed to King James I as he would’ve liked the fact, that people who sin and commit regicide will be damned and punished; protecting King James I. In conclusion Lady Macbeth’s yearning for power, desire to be a supernatural being and manipulation of Macbeth led to her descent into damnation and madness. Shakespeare does so to warn Jacobean society to follow Patriarchal norms and to not be involved with any malevolent witchcraft and sorcery.

[@joyooof]

Mr Salles, thank you so much for all of these videos as they have been incredibly helpful. I was wondering if you could please read this essay and give it a rough I wrote on fear for my mock? No worries if you can't especially as you will be incredibly busy and either way thank you!! (I got into slight time trouble which is why it is shorter than you recommend) Macbeth's fears are painted by the bard as a consequence of his usurpation of the throne and defiance of the Great Chain of Being Shakespeare uses Macbeth as a vehicle to explore how unbridled ambition can lead to extreme paranoia and fear. Macbeth's states 'to be thus is nothing/, but to be safely thus' The implementation of the chiasmus - due to the grammatical construct being flipped- reflects Macbeth's inability to be content with simply being king. His hamartia of his ambition means it is not enough to be king and instead to be a king 'safely' Macbeth's 'vaulting ambition' causes him to kill the 'gracious Duncan' and he therefore is a target for Macduff as well as nature because of his attack on the Great Chain of Being; this says that the king is at the top of the social hierarchy and Macbeth also defies the Diving Right of King which presents kingship as a power given out by God. Macbeth's fear of the fragility of his kingship also leads to his tyrannical behaviour. Macbeth is given a 'fruitless crown' and 'barren sceptre.' Both pre-modifiers are semantically indicative of worthlessness which could refer to how Macbeth has no heirs to the throne and therefore no one to pass his lineage onto making his throne unstable. 'Barren' could also be an innuendo for Macbeth's impotence and towards the end of the play it evolves into the 'bloody sceptre.' Through a certain prism it could be reasoned that Macbeth regresses into a tyrant due to his fear of not carrying on the line of primogeniture as 'bloody' has associations of violence and murder.' Macbeth's fear of being caught as the murderer also lead to him abandoning his Christian faith. He asks the rhetorical question 'will all great Neptune's oceans wash my hands clean of this blood?' The irrefutable hyperbolic tone of this question accentuates the guilt Macbeth internally feels. His reliance on 'great Neptune' could be interpreted as his dismissal of Christian faith which would be seen as sacrilegious to a contemporary Jacobean audience who were mostly Christian. Later on Macbeth relies on 'supernatural soliciting' to ease his fears by listening to the prophecies of the 'agents of darkness.' The sibilance of 's' creates a harsh tone which amplifies the audience's abhorrent feelings towards the witches. Macbeth is so enveloped within his fear, he turns away from his Christian faith and attempts to supplement that power by entering the Witches regime. Macbeth's fears manifest themselves within the cyclicality of violence. The 'butcher' states 'We teach bloody instructions that return back to plague the inventor.' Macbeth admits that his actions of regicide and murder will eventually plague him. The verb 'plague' has pejorative connotations of being unwanted and potentially even illness of death. Macbeth therefore fears the 'blood will have blood' and his 'crown' and lif will be stripped from him. HIs decapitated head being described as the 'cursed usurper's head' links to the Treacherous Thames head being 'fixed on the battlements after being decapitated by Macbeth. This cyclical nature of the violence confirms Macbeth's fears and the Bard could have been using this as a warning message to those attempting to harm King James 1, that they will be 'plagued' by 'bloody instructions.' In conclusion Macbeth's fears evolve as a result of him committing regicide and rejecting values held by Jacobean society. 560 words

Question. Can you get into the top band by only doing a little bit of lanugage analysis? For example, if I am talking about how Lady Macbeth's downfall is due to her ambition, can I just use quotes without talking about language analysis

[@tingyjt]

quick question: do you think it is better for us to use both interpretations for some quotes (such as lady macbeth being rightfully punished for exceeding her role or her being wronged by societies value for women) or do you think we may lose marks for doing so and should just stick to one interpretation.

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

The benefits of using more than one interpretation is that you get to argue which you think is more powerful. If you simply present two different interpretations without arguing which is best, your essay simply looks as though you don’t know what you want to say.

[@itswobblypancake7981]

Sir is this a good thesis for how Macbeth is presented as violent: In the play 'Macbeth', Shakespeare employs Macbeth as being a violent character, which was seen as being masculine back in the Jacobean Era, which also paints him as a brave warrior being praised by many. His violence also reinforces the idea of him showing some sense of loyalty and comradeship to the king, in which was later destroyed because of his 'Vaulting ambition' that led him to his regicide of King Duncan

@@artemiscarnegie Ok I agree with what you're saying and it's really cool bc I haven't heard someone bring that up! There are several links to mythology in Macbeth and I know during Elizabeth's reign Ancient Rome and Greece were really popular so what you're saying makes sense contextually. For the power imbalance between Macbeth and Duncan I would definitely include it makes sense you could talk about how Duncan's death was inevitable as he was not a good king rather than the witches causing "his death" if the theme of supernatural came up. He was bad at choosing people; the previous Thane of Cawdor was also a traitor. However although I can tell you are clearly very intelligent and have researched the play very well I would just be careful about making sure what you're saying relates to the exam question. For me I have certain things I find really interesting and are really good ideas but they don't fit the question so it can often get in the way. Also try and not waste time trying to make it fit. That said what you are writing about is really interesting and I would recommend you memorise this analysis before the exam. Also try and link to different themes and think about why would Shakespeare create that link. What would the audience think? What would Shakespeare want the audience to think? Why? If you do all that I think your ideas will be really critical and well made. Wish you the best of luck in your exams and anyone seeing this. You are going to do amazing!

Then structure each paragraph like: A01 (make a point), A02 (language analysis and references to text), A03 (context) then go back to A01 and talk about writers intention so that your context and writers intentions are linked and context isn't just tacked on. I do three paragraphs (stick to the ideas mentioned in your thesis so you have coherent argument) and then a conclusion which is similar to the thesis.

Mrs salles is their anyway of linking sexism in the play to kingship

[@sayedur6456]

Mr Salles, could you check if this is plagiarism from your Macbeth Revision guide? This is what your book says: Macbeth is reluctant in killing Duncan. On one hand, the Macbeths have lost their only child. His grief might well explain his reckless abandon we saw in battle. Now, his dead baby appears to trigger a connection with the death of Duncan, who’s innocent. This therefore is a rational argument for not killing Duncan. Furthermore, he is Duncan’s “host” and in Greek Tragedy, harming a guest was much more sinful than even killing your own family. For example, Tantalus abused Zeus’s hospitality, and was punished for eternity. On the other hand, he wants to kill Duncan to challenge God, because the Jacobean Era believed kings were appointed by God, or it could be to reward or comfort Lady Macbeth and prove to her his masculinity. (I've combined it with different grades) This is my notes: Macbeth is initially hesitant to kill Duncan due to conflicting reasons. While the loss of their only child could potentially explain Macbeth's violent behavior in battle, it also creates an emotional connection with the innocent Duncan, providing a rational argument against the murder. Moreover, as the host of Duncan, Macbeth feels responsible for his safety, and in Greek Tragedy, harming a guest was viewed as more sinful than even killing one's own family, as demonstrated by the punishment of Tantalus, who, having violated Zeus's hospitality, was subjected to eternal punishment.. However, Macbeth's desire to challenge the notion of God-appointed kings, a belief popular in the Jacobean Era, and to demonstrate his masculinity to Lady Macbeth could be factors driving him towards the murder.

Hi sir, thank you for this video. Can you please make a video just like this for a Christmas carol?

[@samueljspeakman]

Hi Mr Salles, please can you make a KZbin short on the following: Who Really Is The Inspector? God? A ghost? Consciences? JB Priestley? A soldier? An individual from the future? A socialist from 1912? Or someone else??? ... ❤ Thank you.

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I could

[@samueljspeakman]

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thanks sir

[@flowerswift]

Hi Sir what other revision would you recommend along with this video please

[@3fsisters501]

These quotes are very useful but how can we analyse the language techniques

[@jumadeung7419]

Sir, could we also look at the sibilance in the dash'd the brains out quote? That she would be as violent as needed to fulfil her promise, so therefore Macbeth has to be violent enough to commit regicide to fulfil his promise? Or is it a strech?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

No, that is not far fetched!

[@fivestarmichelin0809]

thank you! do you have any predictions yet?

Oh, they are all coming! I filmed 4 of them yesterday with @FirstRateTutor!

Hello mr sales, I was wondering if these quotes are enough for my gcse I know the text, but would these quotes be enough for a pass

[@daon4132]

if you can't remember a quote, you can just describe what happens in the scene.

[@colourcollider]

hii i was wondering if you could make a video like this on an inspector calls and a christmas carol? or if u have already i dont know

[@sabaaras]

Hi Mr Salles! I was wondering is there any difference in structure between Shakespeare lit essays and the ones for 19th Century & Modern Text? I was looking at grade 9 past answers and the Modern/19th Century text essays seem to have more quotes but less in depth analysis of singular quotes than Shakespeare (R&J). Is there meant to be a difference in structure?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I think it is purely a difference in the way students are taught. There is no requirement in the exam to do loads of in-depth quotation analysis. That’s why I recommend doing it only once or twice in an essay

[@sabaaras]

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Thank you for your response! The way we were taught in school was to analyse 1 quote in depth per paragraph, for 3-4 paras. Would you say its better to have 1 idea per paragraph instead?

[@maarr77]

hi sir pls reply ! in ur acc guide u said that dickens uses fred to explore the plight of the working poor represented by bob and his kids , and that fred puts forward dickens view that basic wages should be doubled but i dont understand where in the novella fred does this ?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Where Dickens specifically mentions what his wage will be

[@hamnaali4977]

Thank you so much Mr Salles! I have been following your videos, your advice, and your guides like religion. I had to self-teach myself nearly all the English content as my teachers were not that great and I moved schools twice but I'm still aiming for a 9. I've read nearly every grade 9 essay you wrote and tried to write like those using the notes in your guide so my essays turn out to be excellent and longer than 900 words. I'm having a bit of trouble with Christmas Carol - how would I memorise all the ideas to write a grade 9 essay? For Macbeth, your new guide with the retrieval practices are a tremendous help but for ACC, I'm struggling. I wrote an essay with about 1470 words which took a long time. Could you please tell me a way the ideas would be coming out of my fingertips?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

It sounds like they are coming out of your fingertips! You will be fine

[@pawelpow]

When analysing the fricative sound due to the alliteration of "f", should you explain the reason for its sinister and uneasy tone (the formation of the mouth and teeth as explained in the video). I would think that this should be avoided as it's not really relevant however I just want to make sure. Thanks

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Yes, I just included the purpose of fricatives so that students who didn’t know would understand it. You would assume the examiner knew

[@zsha6855]

Hi there could you also do jekyll and hyde aswell btw this video was so helpful

[@jiojio-rm8wy]

i am using THE MOST FAMOUS SWEARWORD in my exam in 2 hours lol

[@henryshergold2624]

Hi Mr Salles, new to your channel but think this will benefit me greatly for my GCSE. Could you possibly do a video similar to this for Jekyll and Hyde, as I am really struggling to find quotes for the novella. (I do Edexcel!)

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

It is recorded and coming soon

[@mkfitnessandyoga5030]

When are your predictions coming out for aqa and the video with first rate tutor

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Every Sunday in May

[@flowerswift]

would you be able to use the second interpretation of "unsex me here" as establishing how even when women try to obtain power their are still tied to men or used as a construct to change them (king James)- I hope this makes sense

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Yes!

[@jostinkz4423]

Hello Mr Salles, new to your channel here, wished I discovered it earlier! QUESTION: Are you allowed to mention all the things about King James being a descendant of Banquo? I read about it at the front of the playbook, surely this would fall under context?

[@tresorn5691]

yes

[@siennascott3619]

thank you for the video! i have a question is there a specific word for how typically in a greek tragedy the hero tries everything to avoid there fate?

[@adamberron]

I am just getting round to this video the day before the exam and I feel like there is too much to remember for both Macbeth and J&H, I feel like the world is collapsing around me. What do I do?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Write down 10 things you remember about the text. Forget about what you don’t know, it doesn’t matter

[@SofiaHussain-c9i]

Hi Mr Salles this video helped me soo much but are you able make one for Jane Eyre and everything for it like themes and and analysis and everything ? I looked for vids on your page but it wasn't there Love your vids thanks sir :)

[@LS2K6]

Hi Sir, which 2 of these quotes would be the best quotes to use for any question that comes up?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I made another video today which tells you the top five. That’s as low as I am prepared to go.

[@arinahsajid637]

do u have predictions for macbeth,inspector calls and jane eyre for edexcel?

[@pratyasha279]

Thank you for this cluster sir - but wouldn't these quotes and ideas become too generic? And will it help differentiate us from other students in terms of ideas?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

The more quotes you know, the better

[@julianmalan1108]

day before the exammmm!

[@supremeape4915]

Could you make a video on Duncan and kingship?

could this analysis help me get a grade 9?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Don’t you know who I am!?

[@music-tm6xh]

I know this isn't really pertinent to this video, however I feel so happy I js got my results back from my last (ever 🫡😭) set of mocks. And I found out that in English I got a seven in language! And a six in literature! And I want to thank you for the literature, I've been only getting fives for the past year in year eleven as I had joined really late in school and I've gone from u's to fours then stuck at fives and now I'm getting sixes and sevens and I am so happy! And for lit the reasons I managed to remember my quotes and themes was because I spent so many hours watching your videos so I just want to say thank you so much! You have helped me loads!

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

That's brilliant. Thanks for working so hard!

ideas aren't plagiarism these are just ideas about the quote just dont copy anything word for word
