howd it go yall? my exam was for tkam and it went well, but my r+j exam is on monday

[@heartss5]

It's also interesting with the comparison between Friar Lawrence and the Nurse (both calling Paris/Romeo 'wax') that they can be seen as parallel characters too! Where the Nurse is positioned as a supportive figure for Juliet, the friar fulfils this role for Romeo - all of the characters have parallel characters like this. e.g. Romeo has Juliet, Lord Capulet lord Montague, etc.

[@mrbruff]

Yes I agree- I explore the idea of surrogate parents in my character analysis videos on the friar and the nurse.

@@mrbruff Ok I'll watch that! Thank you so much fr your videos they're really helping me with my revision :)

[@69kpurewaffle]

im putting this on the night before my english exam😢😭😭 hoping osmosis will stick some of it in my brain😭

[@TamWam_]

howd it go?? my r+j exam is in a few days so 😭

[@Rachelsfairy]

The mention of stars during scenes like when r&J die brings us back to the fact that they are star crossed (there relationship is doomed to die). This also links to fate as in shake spears times people believed if your fate was written in the stars it was doomed to happen

[@mrbruff]

Absolutely!

[@deqohanshi5113]

Very good and helpful at all costs. Going to year 11 and I hope everything goes smoothly for me.

[@mrbruff]

I'm glad you found the video helpful.

[@FroggyNipNips]

how smooth is it

[@sarthbankar3104]

Also, at the end of the play we don't see Lady Montague either which suggests she may have passed away due to shock. Just thought I should mention :)

[@mrbruff]

It's true we don't see Lady Montague, but she is mentioned: "Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night; Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath:" My point is that the nurse is absent with no explanation.

[@tcvcoins8922]

Mr Bruff, would you have any videos on context for Macbeth, A christmas carol, and An inspector calls. As those are the books I'm studying for gcse, and I can't find them in your playlists

[@mrbruff]

Yes. For the most part, points on context are built into the general videos I have on these texts. I have playlists on each you've mentioned.

Good luck tomorrow guys😅

[@rabiamultan9481]

could i use this for the eduqas exam board

[@mrbruff]

It appears that Eduqas doesn't assess context for the Shakespeare question (pastpapers.download.wjec.co.uk/S22/s22-C722U10-A-ms.pdf) so if that's the case, ignore all points on context and the rest will apply.
