I'm not kidding when i say this, but your videos are the only videos that i have found extremely useful. Your quotes are very unique and it's very helpful when you analyse them because most people try to avoid these quotes and go for more of the simpler ones. Thank you so much, you've made the themes so clear and easy to understand!

Day before my year 10 english exam watching these videos are really helpful. Just all the basic knowledge you need to go into an exam i feel.

Exceptional! I can't thank you enough! Every other teacher spends the whole video talking about what they are going to do and never actually doing it, but you actually get right on with it! Thank you loads :)

I got my mocks this week and this helped

[syddavis]

when capulet first mentions death lying on her like an untimely rose and then he says in a later quote that death has lain with his future wife, not only is he personifying death but he is also alluding to the fact that Juliet being dead is a lie, she is not really dead but in deep deep slumber, she is metaphorically dead to her name as a capulet but not truly dead.

[tommyranyard]

Thank you so much you help me understand the play

If anyone else had the same misunderstanding I did, at 2:45 he says prophetic, not pathetic

[rheap]

2:44 hi, you made a mistake here. Romeo said it not juliet

[vrpal_sd]

What does it mean when Juliet describes Romeo; “O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!”
