to another video you've got Mr Everything English and today I am joined with Mr Salis you're welcome to the best collab of the Year Mr Salis Mr Everything English everything education tuition for maths English and Science Now guys last year was the year before me and did a collaboration and we did an hourong video talking about one quot now even though that was the best analysis you're ever going to find about unsex me here today guys we're going give you 10 quotes now Mr what would you think can you apply these 10 quotes to every gcsc question or are there other quotes that they need to learn so you can put any quotes in right because you you're in the exam you're going to choose what comes to mind but yes if you only learn these 10 quotes you could apply them to any question that comes up that is my pitch yeah and I agree with that guys 10 quotes I always say 10 quotes is all you need if you know how to apply them which is what we're going to do in this video so Mrs Addis number one what do we have we've got in thunder lightning or in Rain the second line from the witches and we're going to teach you about the symbolism the foreshadowing and what it tells us about religion or Christianity yeah now guys look for every quote that we give we have to give you ao2 we have to give you something to do with language something to do with structure something to do with form because otherwise it's a dead quote in the exam what you're going to do do so the first one as M said guys we're going to talk about the symbolism we're going to talk about the structure device for shadowing and if you want to bring in a bit context you can bring in religion and we'll explain that later so Mr sis in thunder lightning or in Rain which is probably one of the most famous quotes in B Beth what you say about it uh so the first thing is it sets up the power of the witches to control the weather and so the fascinating thing about the witches for me is they can't actually make MC Beth do anything they never tell him to do anything and they can't act on him in any Supernatural way for example they can't control him physically to murder Duncan but they can control the weather and that's there for two reasons one it shows that they do have a real Supernatural power they can predict the future and maybe control the weather and the other thing it does is it says to King James uh yeah I've made this play for you uh you're obsessed with the power of witches and it goes back to that um experience that he had where he thought that witches were trying to assassinate him when he was at Sea by controlling the weather and you know to add to that you know my analysis of this quote is quite interesting because if you look at the majority of Shakespeare plays they start with a prologue yes now imagine the curtain's opening and you've got three ugly women parading on stage and these ugly women are talking about controlling the weather in front of a heavily religious audience yes for me in the very beginning Shakespeare sticks a middle finger at religion he almost mocks the idea of God yes in the beginning by giving power to these three women and then I say look this is our apologue I argue these three words thunder lightning rain is our prologue because the typical analysis of this quote is pathetic fantasy yes and it shows that the the witches are really bad because the weather is really bad but I argue in this quote you can take tell the story of the entire play go for it you have any idea what I'm going to say to you umth right what's the first thing MTH is influenced by is the talking of the witches yes and the talking of lady mcth yes Thunder is hurt this is the thunder this is this is The Rumble in the sky you know what's coming and the Thunder causes what what does thunder bring eventually lightning there you go here what is the lightning strikes very rely uhhuh what does MTH do what's the rare actor mcth does that strikes because of the Thunder because of the Whispers because of the prophecies he kills the king there we go now rain everyone gets sweat and Rain No One Is Safe yeah so after the killing of Duncan Bankok suffers fleance suffers lady MC suffers MD's family suffers every character suffers everyone gets wet yes so I argue these three word thunder lightning rain if used properly can tell you the story of the entire plan that's why Thunder is the noise yes it's the constant noise of the witch Lady M breath lightning is the consequence lightning is the act that takes place and the rain is the consequence everyone gets better sir because of what McBeth does you got your symbolism in the weather of under the lightning rain you've got your for shadowing and then you've got your contrast by giving women who are witches religious God like Powers um parading the stage at the very beginning yes I'll go with that I always like to back up with some context yes of course and so I like the line that goes before this when shall we three meet again in thunder lightning or in rain so the crucial thing here for me is that the witches are a democracy and the play is about accepting your King King James and so democracy is associated with evil and that is Shakespeare's way of saying look you shouldn't have a choice this is your king accept it that's just the way the world is nothing next quote what we got act one scene two the famous Captain his dagger guys is smoked with bloody execution and McBeth unseed him from the Nave to the chops here we've got Jer position here we've got Hyperbole and then we can link it to patriarchy and we can link it to Freud and the ID which we'll discuss in a second well this feels great nine all the way I'm excited I I don't think we're going to give them anything that isn't great night all right so you you want to go first should I go first you go first and then I'll say that's just great so look I the the court begins with the his sword is smoking um now if you take it bit by bit I link this to you know when I was younger I feel like Dragon Ball Z like anime yeah and in anime when they punch on the cartoon yeah the hand smoke comes off the hand and the smoke is a sign of speed and power yes so you look at a lot of cartoons boom boom boom it's smokes flying everywhere yeah if you go to a factory and see the machines that are moving you can almost see the smoke resonating off the of the Machinery yeah now here I talk about this implies the way MB is killing mbet is killing so smoothly so quick so powerfully it's literally as though there is smoke resonating off his sword yes but the enemies ain't got a chance because this is not a battle this is an execution yes so an execution is the idea that this is not a fight where MCB in trouble he is literally executing these people on the battle and that's the idea of his sword being an absolute machine I love that the smoked for me is blood comes out super hot yeah and they're fighting a against the Norwegians so it's it's you would actually literally see the steam coming off coming off his sword in this scene they literally make McBeth out to be the God of War yes so no matter how how you look at it it's elevating his stat that this guy singlehandedly killed the enemy it's a oneman band and the band is m so if I jump ahead that would explain why he's so Keen to agree to the Rich's prophecy that no man born or woman is going to be able to kill him cuz he's kind of already proved that exactly and he already believes that yes he already thinks he they affirm it boost the ego yeah and then he walks around thinking he's undefiable that is cool then the second part and this I look at this quot right as McBeth being an absolute beautiful killer he unseened him from the Nave to the CHS belly Buton to the chin straight clean line now for me so let's let's talk about the J position and the hyperbole yeah so guys jaos is when there's two contrasting ideas hyperbole is when things are slightly over the top so when it comes to hyperbole I would apply that to the first part of the quote that the way he kills he's being almost made out to be some kind of God in the battlefield yeah but here I argue look the way he kills it's as though he's enjoying it he's not stabbing you% yeah it's not as all let me just stab you wherever I can he aims and he kills you in the most possible and the most painful way he's having a lovely time I say guys the battlefield is MCB canvas and blood is the color he paints with I love that now the word unseed when I think about the verb unseed I think about like clothing tearing clothing apart yeah now tailor when they sew clothes when they seem clothes together they must be very precise because if you make one mistake the clothing comes out wrong yeah yeah mbth is reversing that he's unseeing a human being um and for me this idea guys is the point that McBeth is really trying to make sure his enemy is suffering so McBeth on the battlefield isn't panicking yes it's not chaotic it's not as though he's threatening trying to stab stab stab stab stab he's relaxed he's precise he's skilled and he's making sure that every blow that he does is perfect yes I'm G to test you we haven't practiced this I'm going to test you I'm gonna fail this right so I am going to be McDonald you're going to be my Beth and you're going to kill me Apple sword that's it he's got his Apple sword right I want you to unsee me from my Nave to my chop this were a sword Y how on Earth would you get the sword from here given remember I've got armor on and everything saying is if I take over and murder you yeah I go for I cannot just hit you with my sword I'm never going to have the strength to leave it up it's impossible yeah cuz way yeah I'm going to have to step in and I'm going to have to use something like a dagger to get that in here but then I'm going to need to lever it up so I'm going to get in really close and this ties in with how much he just loves The Killing he's an expert at it smelling it SM yes the line that's before this who n shook hands nor B farewell yes till he had unseen so after he's unseed him he's watching him in front of him shakes his and then and even the part before that about him carving that passage yes that even reinforces the idea he's carving through you he's not leaving like a slight cup yeah he's going deep yes all the way up patriarch a bit of context for me patriarch is the easy one here if you're going to do it good for it mcth is your is your poster Boy Yes of P going to keep it simple it is your post if you're looking for what is a patriarch in act 1 SC 2 that is it strong powerful Brave Invincible fight for his King he is that then you got Freud and the ID this is the idea of desires I think it's very questionable why or what's what's motivating mbth is McBeth simply fighting for the king or is he motivated as ser like his desire for the kill is he fighting because he loves the king or is he fighting because he just loves killing like an absolute Savage that point about bringing the Clos smelling that blood it's a very it's quite Twisted yes it's a twisted thing to do uh and when you putay like that it looks even more to his because he's not doing to one person it's on repeat constantly in the back yeah so I I love that and um I forgot what I was going to say next let's go to the next quote you go for act one two three so act one scene three Bano says about the witches you should be women and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so we're going to have Jos symbolism and patriarchy my old favorite um starts off all right guys first things first what is he saying here I've got this on my face women don't have this on their face so banko guys he is telling the witches that yes you're women but you don't look like women you don't have the features that make you feminine now this quote can be linked to unsex me here because when lady MTH begs to be unsexed this is what she wants and it shows you what the witches gave up the witches sacrificed everything that made them feminine for power and for them and for them it worked right women were always play by men yeah yeah and obviously when they were playing women they put in young yeah correct prepubescent or you know boys without facial hair to play the women and so what I think's going on here is Shakespeare said right well we just get our normal BLS played to women and of course you would not have been clean shaven in Shakespeare's day you you're man you beard so I reckon that this is cast with three BLS with beards um and so part of that is like an in joke with the audience because they all know it's being played by men but I think the other part is what's motivated them to become witches in the first place well if I'm a woman the only way for me to get power in this Society is either to be born into a rich Family Y or to marry into the rich family and that is either going to be my family connections that will get me there or my appearance and so what you've got here is poor women who are ugly who've got no other way of getting power in this Society then it beg a question isn't it why does Lady MTH want to be unsexed this is yes and what I would add to that then it shows us that even those women who were married into power still felt powerless yes it was it's it's that Mrs Burling even though she's most the man takes over Yeah Yeah by default man takes over so even though lady McBeth is beautiful yes even though lady McBeth by default she married MC so she's powerful already yeah it still shows a lacking a hold there's something missing yeah because you could argue that the witches are way more powerful than any female character in the text even though if you look at metrics they have nothing that lady MTH has yes but they have everything She Wants yeah yeah yeah so it really shows you the handicap of a patriarchal society that by attaching yourself to a man it's game over for the woman yes um because you will no matter how high you get lady McBeth will always be lady mcth yes I wonder what her name is yeah yeah we never yeah yeah um mind you we could also we don't know what my Beth name was because presumably that was his surname yeah and even the name mcth do you know what it means no it means son of life no way yeah so the name MC Beth means son of Life son of life right who gives life God gives life so it shows that like it's like somebody naming the son Mike Tyson yes you will name the son Mike Tyson cuz you want him to live of M his dad called him son of Life yes son of Life Son of God but everything he does in the text goes against the father goes against so it shows that he came from a religious background and and that's why it makes everything he does way worse that's brilliant I love that that's why you know to say for brave MTH well he deserves that name yes when the captain says that before the whole unseeing him part see I've always read that as he deserves the name Brave you're it so I would say right he says and a Dash It's a pause and then it's like you know what yeah cuz he's living up to his name good on the battlefield who's he fighting for it's the King right he's killing for the king and the King was their God on Earth the son of Life blah blah blah so it shows that McBeth is killing for his father for his God yeah yeah yeah and that's why when he murders Duncan it makes it 10 times worth because m it implies that he came from a religious family yeah because his father named him that um but yeah that's the name of be is interesting is it that is interesting and it gives much more power to Lady McBeth choosing not to kill Duncan because it reminds her of her father so Beth crosses that boundary against his own father we could talk about what what father is this is this father as in dad or father as in God well both I think both are the same yes yes okay you've educated me there I'm very excited you one two by I think we G three four extra quotes if you want to use them use them all right this is your favorite this is not this one this is your favorite quot Act One Ste five lady MC unsex me here and I promise you we're not going to spend an hour on this qu yeah techniques wise you've got an imperative cuz she's commanding you've got foreshadowing because maybe you can foreshadow her downfall uh um but yeah sir you can start then jump in um okay so I like this quote mainly because it links so well to the patriarchal society yeah um and I try and teach my students that if you're thinking about patriar society that fits every text you ever study at GCSE she's saying look in order to get power I can't do this as a woman in society as it's organized I have to take on all the male characteristics do you know when you Court do you see her being in a position of power or a position of weakness I go both ways you I go depending upon what I'm analyzing yeah you go both ways uh cuz I say look unex me here yes it's an imperative it's a command yes but it's also a sign of desperation like hey I need your help right now uh because this comes after she find that Duncan is coming for the night and when she finds that he's coming she goes into overdrive because before that it's the whole part of I'm going to pour my spirits in here yes she's very she's she she's not as urgent but when she find that dun's coming for the night she goes an overdrive and she says unsex me here because she realize is if it's going to happen it's going to have to be now yes or never yeah yeah because dun is probably not going to come back for so I argue it's a sign of desperation at this stage he's thinking he's not man enough to kill Duncan himself I'm going to have to do it therefore I'm going to be have have to be filled with cruel y fill me from the toe to the top full of dest Cruelty the only way to get that cruelty is to become masculine that's why I need it because I'm the one who's going to kill Duncan my husband's too full of the milk of kind human kindness to do it I'm as powerful as a woman can be but in this patriarchal society I'm not cruel enough give me that manhood and you you understand what's coming so it's it's not even the ACT it's even after the act as she talk about fill up my capacity to remorse and stuff like that yes it's like Consciousness right yes she's like okay the ACT is done yeah but it's she understands that in her current state of it's the guilt yes um it's the and that def Act five when she's washing her hands and out down spot stuff but it shows that she recognizes that her innate nature currently her guilty conscience if it's not removed is going to finish her agreed um so therefore she needs to be less attached to emotions and feelings and more kind of masculine yes if you like so the way we talk about mcth killing after one scene two he kills he loves to kill exactly it's like that make me like that so when when I kill someone I don't think anything of it yeah U but the I only is right when it happens it's like they reverse for a second yeah because it's like in the beginning in the beginning it's mcth who has the conscience and she's the one that says what's done is down get over it and then by the end they go again yeah um that's why I argue she never gets text it never happens yeah I agree yeah it never happens yes um so if you do get a supernatural question lovely she's she doesn't control the supernatural because as you say she never gets that power she thinks she's got and interesting isn't it it shows how the extent that women have to go to even sniff some kind of power yes like imagine telling somebody that to get power you got to do this yeah a female yeah but it shows that in a strong patriarchal society the supernatural for women was like their only way out yeah like look at the witches you can argue find they may be uh masculine and whatever yeah but they are probably the most powerful uh influencers in the entire play yeah they they are the intim of Darkness they do play with all the characters um so I think yeah Supernatural is almost the Catalyst that allows women to gain some kind of power in a strong patriarchal society imperative for sh being p and guys Freud here I link this to Freud massively because Freud in the ID talked about our Instinct our desires guys she is a slave to her desire you can't get any more here she's willing to do whatever it takes to become the queen you want to talk about it her I link this also to the idea of her inability to either keep children or have children yeah totally with you because if she can't cuz guys in the text is implied that lady McBeth has had a child and the child died um because there's no baby McBeth running around and also it's quite it's still recent because um she talks about giving suck yes yes so she's still lactating and so then this here is if as a woman she can't have children or keep her children alive yes it deems it kind of useless yes in a patriarchal society especially for a man like mcth um because mcth would want children especially boys to keep the lineage and that's why with the prophecies Bangor you will have a line of Kings mcth nothing yeah so as a woman if she can't offer McBeth children her becoming unsexed it doesn't matter yes because she have kids anyway yes but further than that it reaffirms her Obsession she is so obsessed to become the queen and to make him the king because it almost gives her or gives him a reason to keeper because a man like mcth the moment he becomes king he would remarry yeah because he would need to find a woman to have children yes to keep that lineage anything else about that call no we've got an hour long video I can click on to all right that's four uh number five all right this is a good quote you know bot act one scene four instruments of Darkness tell us truths win us with honest Trifles to betray Us in deepest consequences metaphor foreshadowing you want to try off and then we can jump in uh yeah so the foreshadowing is is fascinating here because um Banquo is predicting what's going to happen yep so the witches tell them something really great which is true so they're true prophecies and then they're using these to win MC Beth to his harm but ironically they also win M Duff sorry they also win bankot to his arm so Bano knows that they're evil but it still stops him from telling anyone that McBeth is probably guilty but even act 31 he literally saying that he thinks mcth has played fly to become the king yes but he's St yes he was there at the prophecies he knew that mcth was wrapped in wonder he knew mbth was intrigued yet he sat back yeah and I think a lot of that is because deep down Bano is also a sucker of his desires yes so he's praying oh please let my prophecies come true as well yeah yeah exactly let me be part of L of King so it's that point B isn't like some kind of Angel like a lot of people make him out to be yeah he's a human being yeah he has Desir and on the hierarchy he's blow my bre absolutely so when he's told that he'll have a line of Kings you think your boy or boy I'm going to one day conquer this guy because if he's the king and I'm going to my children be Kings we're going to one day Dethrone this guy yeah um but also this call guys instruments of Darkness instruments is something you play with yes so for me it's the idea that look he he admits that these women are going to play with us with what they're going to play with us with a few truths they're going to tell us that you're a cordor you're Glamis and that one day you'll be king but look at the second set of prophecies in act for scene one they Bamboozled the hell out of mbth because now they're going to betray him they're going to confuse him they tell him no man born a woman can harm you only to say a couple of L later be very off yeah what you mean here what you talking about then they tell him that until Burnham Wood comes to n name you're going to be fine he's thinking how the hell a wood is going to move how a tree is going to move how a leav is going to move so I'm fine so you look at the contrast the first prophecies are very very clear you're going to be king you're going to be cordor you are Glamis easy P prophecies no confusion but the second prophecies the one that betray him the one that confuse him the one that make him think he's Untouchable they are the ones that talk about no man born of woman and so on so even the witches I think they're in the way they control people literally they know exactly how to dismantle a human being yes win them over win them to your side so if you look at right when they myth that you will be cordor he becomes cordor like six lines later yes because angles walking and he's thinking boy oh boy they just left they just came in I'm the I'm cord I've got to be the king because that's when he talks about vaulting ambition blah blah blah he gets GED up so I think the witches are beautiful in the game they play they win him over until they got him exactly where they need him then they drop him yes and they betray him and he's there by himself thinking what the heck do I do he at that point he's lost lady McBeth yes he's lost bankor he's lost anyone that would have supported him all to be by himself at the end of the text yes so yeah I think this quote is amazing when it comes to telling the full story of the play but again if you take it further could you argue that this shows the power of the supernatural that in act one scene 4 very early Bangor recognizes the problem they're going to have yes you can't stop them yeah it's undefeatable yeah it's like a tsunami you know you're going to drown but you're waiting to get sued so I I'm always torn here it's like I'm trying to work out what Shakespeare's playing at so he's writing a tragedy and he he takes the supernatural but he creates the witches um like the three Fates from Greek tragedy and so the the three Fates are evil they're just able to tell you what the future is and so part of me thinks Shakespeare is looking at the witches and he's saying I'm going to dress them up as having Supernatural power but actually they can just see the future and that's it yeah and the just like in a Greek tragedy the true evil comes from uh the hero and so all they're doing is revealing the evil that's already within at V they yeah they're not cre it at all correct um so they're kind of really enjoying ruining him but they're only exploiting what he's already bringing to the table you know you can link that point to in act 1 sc one when they clearly say we are going there to meet mcth yes upon the heath to meet mcth they didn't meet mcth by accident no they didn't say meet mcth and bank no they chose him yeah um so that it that point that they already knew what he had exactly and all they do is kind of expose yeah and by by the way gu you can use all these different interpretations depending upon the question yeah there's not one fit for everything so depending upon the question you can tweak your analysis uh to make it fit that's a good point you can argue that maybe the witches don't have much power yes other than the power manipulation they find the target yeah and they manipulate that Target beautifully um yeah good point anything else the dark and tell us truths metaphor foreshadowing any context there sir there is but I can't remember what I was going to say I was really oh yes here it is okay okay okay so when I want to write about um the structure of the play yeah it's really good to see Bano as the antithesis to MTH so he's a kind of opposite figure to MC Beth so they're both presented with the same tempting sort of prophecies but Banko's response is to do nothing whereas M Beth's response is to accelerate it and do everything and do his worst and Shakespeare is kind of suggesting that if you do nothing fate will turn out to favor you anyway and so but do you think banor silence is him doing something well it I guess yeah mean in the sense that I would that's a good point to make yeah but you could say could you not argue that bank of silence speaks volumes yes it's loud yes because he knows that all these things are going to fa me one day exactly yeah B isn't as innocent as he make him out to be I think B is like he I hate yeah yeah right people talk about him as being amazing off topic guys but he but he's just there watching the downfall yeah he just watches and profiting by the end Bano is watching but lat does he know that McBeth is also watching so mcth McBeth also knows that was a threat to me yes um so yeah I think I think both of these characters are examples of two characters that were completely manipulated and destroyed it must mean bank's silence is because he knows fate is God so God has chosen for banro Sons to become Kings and therefore it's right for him to do nothing because to do something is to go against God's plan yeah but it's cowardice man he I agree he watches Duncan die yeah and he suspects that MTH killed you yes and even when straight after that MTH and Lady M say to him that you will be an honor our and you'll be missed if you're not there yeah and he's he's he's literally kissing the backside yes that's a two-c character because he suspects MCB is evil yeah he suspects that mcth is the king yet he's there in front of him saying yeah I do whatever you want bet Go's plan what am I going to do I'm to go against I'm use that excuse it's God's plan God's plan whatever happened happened therefore it was go it was God's plan to get him killed in the middle of a field it's God's plan well how many how many people have said to you in your life I believe everything happens for a reason yeah yeah happens all the time to me it drives me nuts it's like no you can do something about this but it's kind of a way that people justify when rubbish things happen oh well everything happen never end in p then you can argue that when Bor dies got yeah God decided for to die you know I mean it can become a never ending pit for everything but yeah next one yeah next one number six act one scene five which I don't know but you've written it down for me thank you very much you're welcome sir look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it and we've got here simile symbolism foreshadowing and the patriarchy thank God the SYM is pretty straightforward look like a flower um the symbolism of the flower and the serpent the foreshadowing we talk about second patri in second should I start off yes um so for me gu this quote again it shows the so this quote is said by Lady McBeth and she's telling McBeth how to behave um which can be linked to patriarchy but let's look at the quote first saying look like the innocent flower for me it's very interesting here that they include the word innocent because a flower is innocent anyway do you know what I mean um you don't need to ask add the add the I say the word innocent but it emphasizes how much she wants him to look in a certain way on the outside and the inside he's commanding him you better be the serpent now guys serpents snakes what do they eventually do to flowers eat them the take over so she's saying be evil inside but be beautiful on the outside be lovely be nice be kind why is it for shado because just the way a serpent a snake will eventually eat the flower mb's evil side goes too much and takes over and comes out on the front he can't cont he can't control that serpent that she puts in there so that is why I use this quote in two ways number one it shows you how Lady mcre and mcb's relationship is she is the one telling him how he has to behave but number two it foreshadows the downfall of this man because the serpent will take over the serpent will destroy any good part of him any softness any niess and that's what happens to him that's why he ends up killing killing children when he kills mda's children the flower goes and the evilness comes out on the surface so that's your foreshadowing you could talk about the symbolism of a flower being innocent a serpent being evil um patriarchy again I think for me it's just the fact that this guy who's so brave so powerful so immense is literally taking orders from his wife um in how to behave and how to be when in fact it should be the other way around yes um well the other link for me with with the patriarchy is the context of Adam and Eve correct and the serpent is associated with Eve you know she's the one who was been corrupted first and therefore corrupted Adam and so it's playing on this idea that her orders to McBeth prove that she's even more evil than he is yeah and therefore she's even more of a villain I think in the play um but in a modern reading we see him as more of a victim don't we and do you see for me in these kind of quotes like that quote um it shows the contrast of the evilness mcth is evil in actions yes but he never really talks in detail about the psyche of a evil person it's not thought out evilness yes whereas her she's thought about how to behave yes look in a certain way acting a certain way mcth just kids yes he just does but there's no there's no thought behind it so it's that it's that that's why I call him the couple yes what he lacks she has what she lacks he has you bring them together and it's perfect it's like he's her machine yeah and she's a programming do this do this do this and he goes and does it number seven act two scene one guys Mr McBeth he says heat oppressed brain and I've grown to love this quote so first things first guys this can be a form quote because this comes in the formost of cilo so MCB is revealing his innermost thoughts out to the audience now what we do quot heat oppressed brain this is at the beginning of act two before he kills Duncan after he's gone through all of act one remember guys act one is a big act from McBeth he begins as Brave McBeth fighting on the battlefield he meets The Witches they mess about with his head with the prophecies he writes a letter to Lady McBeth she then messes about she calls him a coward at this point this guy's on boiling point he's on edge and then why is he important he does this in a salil alone away from everybody El because if this is the first time he himself shows weakness but he doesn't do it in front of his wife or other character he buying s privately which reinforces patriarchy but what am I saying about heat oppressed brain guys if you apply heat sir to this pen or pencil yes it's plastic right you can mold it you can change it to whatever form you want now I argue his brain was put under immense heat throughout act one scene one and the heat was being applied by The Witches yes and lady mcth who begin to mold this brain to do whatever they want and by the beginning of act 2 scene one this guy is finished he's sitting thinking man this is get too much and it foreshadows his eventual downfall because it foreshadows that if this guy is losing control of his mind this early yes by the time you get to act three act four Act five he's his brain he he won't be able to act by himself it will be manipulated by the other characters um so that's how I use this quote foreshadowing it foreshadows his potential downfall solo is the idea of why is he talking about this privately on stage around nobody else and patriarchy this is the same guy guys unseeing from the na to the chap chops and brave McBeth and carbing up his passage the same guy who's who's who's complaining about his mind about what's happened to him um and it's important because you could possibly argue straight after this he goes and kills junan yes um so kind of what mindset was he in before that was he even thinking Street or was it such an over come this all one day yeah yeah yeah was it so overwhelming that he got too much for him uh do that point of I'm going to pull my spirits and fill him he a tipping he filled and he's like this is just getting crazy U so that's that's how I would possibly use that potentially call it's a nice quot I like that yeah it's a nice easy quot you can use so let's put ourselves in the best shoes for a minute if he knows the his brain is being wared by other people in his Soliloquy why doesn't he say in the next line okay so I know all these other influences are on me I've just got to step back and recover myself I think right it it Reveals His True isn't it yes as what does he really want yes do you know how like let's say let's say a lot of people complain about things but deep down do you really want so he understands right and I think his brain is he is is a press by he because of the type of kill he's getting ready for yes I said earlier McBeth is on the battlefield yes easy peasy take out my sword do my business but this one it's not a simple kill the King's at his house there's God there's reputation there's there there's a chance of it going wrong there's a lot more to consider so the fact that he is on I always say McBeth does what he wants he's the one that WR lady McBeth yes he's the one that pulls her in exactly so he's not he's never innocent yeah but he's not used to this kind of kill and this kind of influence of a kill I agree with you and as the evidence that he always wanted it um I like the um The Witches by the pricking of my thumb Something Wicked This Way Comes so they're they're supposedly the wicked ones sitting around and it's like Yeah The Wicked ones coming oh it's MCB so much even a lot of Act One his whole desires that come out there's so there's so many quotes didn't go over but he he does a lot that he does yeah I find it interesting that even the way he persuades his wife my dear is part of don't forget about the greatness promised de he gets her so gassed up that when she finds out the Dunc is coming it's like yeah so he's not an innocent guy he is culated he is evil but I think this part here if you want to show let's say for example there question about supernatural yeah uh like the impact of the supernatural this can be an impact of Supernatural because it's not that it's affecting like his hand isn't hurting it's this yes it's your mind it's your thoughts cuz they're messing about with him um even power yeah if they get question MTH and power yes this is this is this is a sign of him being powerless it's it's a rare chance in the early part of the play that he's weak because we don't see this weakness again until the end of the play when they do not dies yes everything in between now becomes a like a PR of actions just doing doing doing doing doing and there's not much thought that we see from MTH I agree number eight number eight act three seene one so MC Beth is wondering whether he's going to kill Banquo or not and he says upon my head they place a fruitless crown and uh take us through that for me for this one I'll keep it simple I think it shows the innate weakness of man okay we constantly want more more more yes he's what was he dying for to become the king and the moment he becomes the king he's now thinking what more can I achieve the crown that he was dying for is not fruitless it's worthless yeah it means nothing to me anymore and I think this Shakespeare here shows not just my breath all of us the innate nature of man of always wanting more and more first he wanted to be king the more he became king now I want to be king forever because this is what ends up being the motivating factor for him killing Bank yeah because he's saying my Crown's worthless because I'm only going to be king that guy his sons are going to be Kings yes so so that's the first part and just thinking about it now I think it can lead to the idea of the heat press brain because it shows how he's he's now all over the place he's now recalling okay they told him this they told him he's going to be the so he's now like trying to trying to secure his seat rather enjoy the moment yes he's become the king like enjoy his time but literally the moment he becomes the king he's threaten to keep the to keep the chair yes but it's on file legs I totally agree with that so for me if we replayed the events I think they would have got away with everything yeah and if they hadn't killed ban yeah so that banqu yeah it goes down yes like that's when what this G exactly so they would have got away with that murder and so it's his thinking about why he's going to kill bank which is exactly what you say I want more my crown is fruitless um I've always taken fruitless as well as being a reference to the fact that he's got no kids because the next line talks about they put a baron sector in my hand idea of being childless and that's what's stopping him having a line of kings and therefore there's that jealousy as well yeah I've never really understood like if you think about it right when you're dead you're dead right yes so why does it matter yeah Legacy yeah you're gone yeah you're under the ground light so but it but it shows that point right yeah that like power is a drug yes ambition is a drug Titans are a drug yes and you people will it's like the purpose of life exactly that's why he say at the end life is about a walking Shadow yeah what the heck am I doing yes but right now he's so obsessed with the title or a legacy um and maybe you could even link it to the idea of jealousy definitely imagine he never imagine he never heard that prophecy by Bank yeah would he really care that much yeah no because he he knows he had no kids yeah he knows he's would he be rejoicing I'm king or maybe it's that thing that he's going to have this yeah so the idea of jealousy comes do you how do you how people was successful while they enjoying it they'll start now comparing to what that person it's like that ex I'm okay yeah I'm earning a million but that guy's got 2 million is that is that example right now isn't it I'm I'm the king but that guy he's going to have King Z yeah so I need to somehow get it's very good point you made that maybe at this point they would be home safe I reckon yeah I think about this true cuz Mal's gone is gone yeah B does suspect him but he's not going to say anything he's not going to say anything um so yeah so maybe if the play has stopped here life could yeah but again yeah I think it shows the the the evilness or the problems of desires I've written great chain of being if you want to link it and just just the idea that the way he became king wasn't the natural order yes therefore he will never reap the rewards of it because he reversed the natural R therefore God will never allow him toep the the he's now suffering so like when say MC has murder s and so on he's now suffering for getting the crown illegitimately yeah and that's really important to Shakespeare's political message which is yeah I saw the table slip sorry that's important to Shakespeare's political message which is because this is being performed in front of the Nobles it's not on the globe correct yeah so don't get rid of King James because you might succeed in killing him but in the act of becoming King you will lose every sense of self every peaceful moment will be ripped away from you in essence it is propaganda yeah it's a sense of propaganda to boost the image of the king yes in society so the downfall is beautiful because it shows that don't try to do stuff that's not your right exactly you don't belong in the king's yeah Palace the throne is not for you yes so you can try all these IL legitimate ways but ultimately King God would always wi exactly all right number nine oh wow number nine n four you off face okay so thou can not say I did it never Shake thy gory locks at me this is MC Beth seeing the ghost of Bano after he's ordered banro to be murdered now I absolutely love this so much because it fits with what we've just been talking about so all the Nobles sitting there can realize that MC Beth is seeing a blooded figure with gory locks blood so what they're seeing is McBeth apparently losing his mind about this person who is covered in blood and then Beth says Thou can't not say I did it Y and they're thinking well hang on yeah there's only one person who's just being covered in blood that's King Duncan and now MC Beth is virtually confessing to seeing the ghost of King Duncan and that ghost is accusing him of doing it and Beth is saying you can't accuse me um so this is like his confession yeah and it shows you what's on his mind yes imagine the noble is sitting there why I have all the things to say I have all the things to come out with yeah why come out with this yeah so by default he's almost admitting his guilt yes in not yeah exactly in defending himself he's shown that hold on a second what did you do yeah why why are you so why are you behaving at this and why are you saying what you're saying um and again you this is maybe the start of the downfall yeah that how I look at it yeah this this is the start of the end and so you've got a choice here of saying is this the production of the heat oppressive brain yeah good point or is it a Supernatural is it a real ghost and is the supernatural changing his fate now at this moment or is it actually just his own mind which way do you jump I would say it's his mind yeah yeah I I would say it's his mind the reason and by the way both can work yeah yeah yeah both can work I would say it's his mind because at this point lady MC breth jumps him yes and she kind of saves his back side um because they ask and she's like look he's he's not well yes he's not he's not he's not the best and then she pulls him to one side um so the reason I would say is his mind is because it's a very individual moment interesting part is this after this part there there's not a lot of kid that comes back like in act 2 scene two he's hearing sounds knock knock knock knock knock murder sleep in act 3 scene 4 he's seeing ghosts then there the big cup yeah so until act five the end of Act five there's there there's no there's no more craziness there's no more remorse so I it's a strange way of looking at it but I think it's his almost Tipping Point but it's his almost acceptance to the dark side like he's now in there yeah he's now fully immersed there's no going back he's killed Bank he's killed Duncan what I can't go back now yeah so that's why from this point onwards I think in Act 4 scene one he goes to visit the witches yeah which is a strange image imagine the king going with a begging bow to the witches when he was a soldier they came to him yes he then goes to them with a beging ball yeah um and I think this is his almost acceptance into the dark nasty world this is who I really am yeah and let me let me let me let me immerse myself yes in that cuz you know before that it was a dual nature innocent flower serpent under it yes the serpent has now completely taken over yeah so that's how I always here I agree brilliant so we now come all no do we need to cover some of our other points J position for me was just the idea that this is not how kings behave yes come on the guy he's a wreck and that's because he's broken the great chain of being he doesn't deserve to be king yes so he's not behaving the way Kings would yes um an imperative again maybe desperation um yes then you got the dramatic irony because the audience are a yeah this guyy is Ching absolute nonsense we know what you did but the characters on stage don't yes um Freud and the ID for me this was at this point this shows the danger of just doing what you want with no regard for the consequences yes because up until now he's been following his desires at a te yes he had struggles but ultimately his desires have won yes his brain was oppressed by heat but he still went killed on yes he was guilty to an extent but he still went killed trying to kill fance yes um so it shows that he was willing to do whatever it took and now is kind of catching up with him so you know what I like about this moment is up until now he when he kills Duncan yeah he's still following his fate y but when he kills Banquo he's going against the prophecies and against the fate and that's why he fails because he tries to go against what Fate has dictated could you argue that he's going against the supernatural de yes and at that point he gets punished yes because the prophecy was from the witches yeah at ban so it's like don't us yeah mess about with God yeah but don't try to mess about our prophecies oh so the Supernatural is more powerful than God the if you think about it yeah it's like until he did what they wanted yes do whatever you got to do to become the king yeah ti ti ti ti yes but hold on a second now he's to mess by us yes Str influence so don't mess about the supernatural you just changed my interpretation of wit now by the way if the witches come up you can use that point I'm going to the immense power of the witches I'm going to Nick it the idea of the supernatural yeah don't M about because the witches even when they punished the sailor's wife yes in the very beginning they don't like being defied yeah and they punish only men yes because look at this I always think about this it was the sailor's wife yeah who annoyed them but they punish her husband yeah um even Lady M Beth I call her collateral damage yeah the target was mcth and she just happened to jump in on the ACT cuz mcth f a letter to her yes they never they never went to visit her no they don't mention her do they at all it was MCB that pulled her in so I i' argue that the witches kind of don't like Defiance yes um outward Defiance yeah and that's what the sailor's wife did and they punished the that's what McBeth did in trying to kill Fons yes because imagine he kill Fons yes that's that would prove them wrong exactly like that kills that prophecy yeah yeah yeah so but that should have much of a fol mcth was then yeah because he believed his own prophecy so so then surely if he try to Confluence exactly he would know it's going to happen yeah that's really good I love it and so if we think about the form of the play as a tragedy yeah yeah yeah in Greek tragedy the hero always goes wrong when they try to stop their fate that's exactly what's happened here isn't it I this it's speaking about his ideas yeah because you flushed out quite well yeah well you've changed my mind about the witches so I didn't expect that when I came that's pretty awesome I'm glad I all right last one yes I almost don't want to do it I don't want to end I want to car going I don't want to finish this but number 10 I kind of cheated we've got two in one yes um only because these two quots happen like same Sol yeah yeah guys act five scene five um just after lady McBeth dies so McBeth gets news that his lovely jubly wife has passed away and he then so this I say here right that when lady mcth dies it's like one of the like levers of control is lifted the witch are still there but like her control is lifted and the moment she dies MCB says talk about her life is a brief candle and that u in life you were just uh life is about a walking Shadow a poor player that fets his hour on stage and so on uh but the two cours that we care about is brief candle and that life is but a walking Shadow a poor player lovely calls especially that they at the end of the play um contrast is amazing go for it um with the brief candle I look at two things if you take a candle a candle can be extinguished in two ways yes one is through blowing it out which and one is through naturally letting it burn through the yes in this play if candle is a met for for Life yes in this play no one dies a natural death yeah everyone's is everyone is forcefully killed the candle is blown out so Duncan is killed McBeth is killed Bano is killed M's children are killed yes no one dies because of old age yeah no one dies because they're ill and they just pass away slowly yeah yeah everyone's life is cut sure yes um and therefore at this point of the play I argue mcth For the First Time contemplates The fragility of life because if the candid is him his life who's outside M Don B they they all here now yeah and he's contemplating death that is it now my time to end yes so that's how I at the first part yes that for the first time he contemplates mortality life and death it's a lovely quote to show the Contra for his character and more importantly Supernatural guys if you're going to argue that lady MCB had some kind of control of that heat oppressed brain the why is it that the moment she dies he begins thinking about this kind of stuff because maybe that influence is no longer there so you got if you want to well I love this quote I would have picked the two words before it as well out out brief candle yeah so that mirrors the language that lady McBeth had when we last see him yes when we last see her with um you know out down spot so he deliberately takes on her language which for me shows the connection with them is still very real whether it's love or whether it's her control is an interesting question do you think do you think the love them I do because of the candle bit Yeah so the candle is like almost a Christian image God's light is you know well what you talked about with MC Beth you know with the name and so he's replaced God in his faith system with Lady MC Beth yes he's doing everything for his dearest partner in greatness um so this for me proves their real love and that's why when she dies he suddenly resorts to abandoning all hope of life and becoming near istic yeah good point so it's almost idea right like her death signifies his yes why would I keep living now yeah yeah that's a good point that's a nice point and it almost it's a good point to look at that even though they're not physically together in act like four yes much of the end of act three much of the beginning Act five that connection is still there yes um like I love the relationship yeah you like the power coule I really like I hate yeah I Rome and Juliet terrible but these two I think they're if you want to look at a good example yes yes fine they kill the King right who cares it's not that bad I'm joking but it's that point they get what they set out to do yeah it's no mean feet they became king and queen and that's not a joke like they achieved what they set to do quickly yes this play is set in a couple of days because think about it the battle he's walking home meets them Duncan comes at Night by the night time he's dead yes uh maybe a couple of days for the barrier like it's set in a very short am of time so they do a lot very quickly um so that love can't go away that true that point my dearest partner of greatness yeah it's not been months and years where they've now disappeared it's just a couple of days yeah so it's not as all he's forgotten him so I like the he linked it to the earlier part about my dest partner of greatness that connection that they have and maybe maybe she was his kind of yes she was the light of his life yeah and then life is about a walking Shadow a poor player now guys the reason I cut the court short is because I know you guys are going to say sir how am I supposed to remember these quotes when they're three four lines long yes that's why I cut them short but if you want to go and get the full qut you can because the next part of the court is Frets an hour upon the stage and then it's heard no more it's a lovely lovely quot yeah um do you to stop I go well I I I love the um kind of me nature of this so if we go back to the witches being played by men with the beards and that being a kind of joke to the audience uh the same thing is going on here he's the actor playing at Beth is strutting his time up on the stage and then he's picking this metaphor saying life's but a walking Shadow it's just like a play so re in in real life we're just acting apart and the other thing that he's really struggling with is we're not just acting aart we haven't chosen that part you know someone else has written the script and so he's so upset that he's tried to write his own script by becoming King But ultimately it's someone else's script yeah and I think he says it he says uh signify nothing exactly the the next blind yes after all of this life is a tale told by an idiot yeah meaning pointless yeah he meaningless yes um I was to look at this court right I look at it in a few way the idea of a shadow right I look at it how you can never catch your Shadow yes if you try to catch it it's a never ending Chase yes um and Shadow for me here could be power could be ambition could be kingship it could be anything that he's desired yes so in life there's a constant Pursuit do that point about the fuit is Crown yes he became the king but then he wants to be something else it's a constant Pursuit you're always chasing something you can never catch yes and what happens is by the time you realize that it's a constant pointless Pursuit it's too late it's too late comes up your hour upon the stage is finished yeah so whether you are a doctor whether you're a teacher whether you're a businessman yeah whatever you chase in life if you're not careful you'll Chase it for your entire life exactly and before you can enjoy the fruits or enjoy life 's up you're going to die yeah and here again he's talking about his own death and he's thinking hold on man I've spent and I've done all this to become i' I've been chasing him I can never catch I got I became the king I killed banko yeah I I I killed lady mdda I killed her children but for what yeah my Fai is sealed yeah outside the clet is man is is M up he knows he's going to die yes I think really at this point McBeth is showing us that a side of his that we've never seen like sometimes I used to argue that the play is quite cyclical yes but was he ever like this you know mean yeah I agree yeah because in the beginning he was Brave and Powerful but we never go an insight into his true nature yeah he he was a very stoic man he was he was very kind of powerful Brave and the glimmers we got heat op pressed brain um full of Scorpion and mind day wife we got glimmers like like bits yeah but nothing sub and I think here he really zooms into himself and what he's done and he says you know what no matter the greatness that I've achieved it's pointless yeah it was all for nothing and maybe you can link it back to the idea of religion that ultimately God owns the house ultimately God will win so if he try to do because he ultimately he committed sins right he was sinful in what he did so the fruits will never be delightful they will never taste nice because the way he got them was disgusting king of Shakespeare and his audience can he can he afford for the audience to suddenly have this sense of sympathy from at Beth for his realization just before he gets killed or so I I want to say that he does but but the other part of me thinks he goes against the king yeah and so when when MC Beth says um that life is a tale told by an idiot full of Sound and Fury signifying nothing he's basically saying look God has written my script and but my script is meaningless and so therefore the person who wrote the script what could you not see it shows here how Shakespeare trying to emphasize how if you go against the king yes there's no forgiveness yes even if of a moment of regret and sadness and sympathy you don't care they're going they're going to chop your head off and stick you on the stick because any Defiance a king isn't going to be tolerated it's too late you mess about you're going to find out well that's a cheerful note to end the video on so we're going to get asked the question by the way how would you use these in exams yes what if yeah yeah yeah I you know want to say one thing right look for each quote we gave you language structure form we gave you context where we could and we gave you lots of different ways of analyzing the CT now my advice would be at home maybe write down each quote maybe just at the beginning of the video but TR down each quote and just make some bullet points of what we're saying yeah and what you would do is you would tweak and use the analysis based upon the question so for example should we go to the Qui yeah yeah yeah let's pick a random question and then see how we could apply it let's do other way let's pick the quote and all the question you can apply do it I thunder lightting rain the first one yeah yeah that's that can be applied to the witches yeah Supernatural yeah fate Destiny yes um you can to MC Beth yeah why they've chosen him yeah smoked with bloody U bloody execution unseamed him from the N to the chops so many obviously MC Beth obviously anything about power violence evil kingship this is why he's yeah I would say you could even link to the witches him with be go for it just to say how it shows the power they had that they changed this man yes the most noble hero brilliant um another one should we do should we do should we do heat or press grein uh you go for it that's a tough one that one Supernatural yes the witches lady McBeth the power the influence they have yes then you got masculinity um McBeth by default should we do should we do should we do the instruments of Dance tell us truth so how would I link that to Lady MC Beth so for me I would say I would say if that came up with my exam I would use lady McBeth as an addition she she almost not the fourth PCH I wouldn't call her the fourth witch yeah but she almost behaves um cuz that point by telling us truths yes she is that for MC breth right yes so when when MC breth goes back home she's the one that tells him certain truths yes that end up getting him into trouble um so I would say that she's almost an extension of the witches she's not a witch yes um so she's almost a part of that telling us truth but then to betray us brilliant so for example when she calls him a coward yes she know the guy's not a coward yeah come on you're you're married to the strongest guy in the absolute land she knows she's poking the be here but it's that point she's saying truths for eyes to him cuz he's a my wife yeah you're calling me a coward it's like I don't care what everyone else says if your wife thinks you're a coward then forget what John thinks you want you want your wife to think you're brave yeah so she knows whatever I say to him he'll take it as truth yeah I think about said what you talking about I just defeated in the Army sing handed and you're calling me a coward but it shows how he takes what she says as truth as truth nice but that truth is what betrays him yeah and on that quote I argue that that could you not say that M best motivation one of the motivations for killing Duncan isn't power isn't ambition but it's living up to the idea of what a man is for his wife yes because the moment she calls him a coward poof cuz just before that he say to her we will proceed no further in this business business and then she calls him a coward and then boom yeah he goes crazy yeah so I I love that interpretation but yeah that's another one but it introduces another Crow which one you got so when he says I have no spur to Pi the size of my intent oh yes but vaulting ambition yes yeah so in that metaphor for me he says I've got vaulting I've got ambition but that's not going to be enough it's going to fall on the other side so I need something else and the spur is like the rider's boots with the spur on it so there's something else must be the rider who's got got which Lady M bet for me and that's why he writes to her because he needs her to get him to do what he wants to do anyway and this can be linked to another quot yes she says that you are not without ambition yes she says you are not without ambition but without the illness should attend it so you have ambition I get that but you haven't got that thing that going to tip you over the edge exactly that's why I coming yes it's that it's it's that elevation it's that Tipping Point brilliant should we do one more one you choose one you know what how about the last on bre candle and life but walking Shadow okay yeah cuz that will link to absolutely everything so I tell you what I'll challenge you and then you challenge me link it to a question on masculinity uh which one any both of them yeah I would say these quotes they just oppose yes the masculine Norms of the time emotions guilt remorse so McBeth at this point he goes against masculine Norms however I would also say this quote shows us the dangers of a patriarchal society we in patriarchy yes on by one hand it gave men power yes but by default on the other hand it took away that power yes because you had to be brave you had to be strong this is what our vision of a man is weak you got to conform and that's why I talk about Eric Burling in his calls yeah he's that he's stuck in the limbo yes half shy half Asser you he's not fully what a man should be yeah and he's not on the other side yes different play but it's that point yes you don't you don't be emotional so I think these quotes can be used like how it goes against masculinity goes against goes against patriarchy uh and I think sympathy yes for the first time you feel sorry for a man yeah you feel sorry for him yeah um and it's rare to feel sorry for a man who's a murderer yeah who's a murderer who's a killer kill his children but you feel sympathy for him because you realize in these quotes that take away all the the crown and the glitz and the glamour deep down inside a man is just like any other human being yeah the sword adds to his view the horse the sword the killings and it gives like a False Image okay this is going to go quite deep now if you want to but this can even be linked to that you know julith Butler julith Butler was a feminist right and she wrote a theory about gender and she said that gender is a performance yes so if you want to if you want to behave like a sporty Man start wearing basketball jerseys and carry your basketball under your if you want to be seen as a brave man speak in a deep voice stick out your chest and so on maybe MCB was performing a certain gender the bra the powerful man and now the performance yes is coming to an end FRS the hour on the stage oh man sir this I'm going to give you some amazing context here right fr the hour on the stage right and because the performance is finishing yes the real MC Beth is coming out yes and the real MC Beth is the Shadow and this I love this in Shakespeare's time was their word for the underst study Okay so we've got not just an actor but you're not even the main actor you're just the understudy that's why you're a poor player so you're no you don't even deserve to be here yes you're you're you're almost you're almost an imposter yeah exactly yeah yeah you're an imposter yeah and he's an imposter yes dressed in borrowed roads oh my God the whole country we get gr NES our backs are H our backs are HT the weight of carrying those grades yes that's good point any others or should we end it here I think that's a good place to end yeah very good stuff as always thank you for coming so much fun genuinely I hope you found this video beneficial you're going to probably have to rewatch it check your notes make sure it makes sense to you and then the main thing guys is apply what we've said to lots of different papers yeah check if you can do it because what you don't want to be is a walking talking encyclopedia on mcth but when it comes to actual exam application it's comments no as always guys thank you for supporting it's been Mr Everything English and everything education tuition for maths English and science
