How do i revise for macbeth? Eng lit

Last minute help guys exam on Friday!! Context, character plot twits, language structure etc. Any good websites or tips????
Sparknotes and YouTube and school books.
Mr Bruff on YouTube.
Understanding of: plot, character relationships.

Revise: characters, themes, contexts.

Mainly revise: quotes.
I read Macbeth for pleasure when I am angry, sometimes

quotes I know from the top of my head:

"it will have blood they say, blood will have blood"
"look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it"
"out damned spot"
"all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this hand"
"fair is foul and foul is fair"
"false face must hide what the false heart doth know"

And some links.

These might help, you should see videos and search for themes, critical overview (short one is enough)

All the best

Yes do watch a film and watch it over several times for the actual exam next year. By doing so, it gives you a thorough understanding of the plot.

You can create revision notes containing the key quotes and themes of the play if you're a visual learner. Some people record themselves reading key quotes to help them memorise them. Sparknotes is a good website, there's a youtube channel called Mr Bruff who does videos on English lit and language that are helpful. Another youtube channel called wisecrack does a series called thug notes where they summarise different novels in an entertaining way, and they did one on Macbeth.

I hope this helps and good luck :smile:
