I made posters on quotes and stuck them on my bedroom walls with blu-tack. I even stuck them inside my cupboard doors!

In terms of revision notes, I used to just write essays and read articles on Macbeth online and implement their wording in my essays.

The best way is to write a quote in the middle of a page and write annotations on a post-it note and stick them on the piece of paper. Take a post-it note off when you know the annotation off by heart.

Thank you so much for your advice!!

I'm going to start doing that as I only have 2 months left...


Also i'm stryggling on analysing this quote..

'Come, thick night and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell that my keen knife see not the wound it makes nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry 'Hold, hold!

Do you have any suggestions?

By ‘thick night’ Lady Macbeth is ordering for her actions to be covered.

The purpose of this line is to demonstrate that she knows what she is supposed to do is morally reprehensible and she knows she will struggle because of it, thereby asking that she see not what she does so she can go through with it.

However, little does she realise that her actions will become a prime example to convey the horrible things guilt can do to you. In this case, the horrible thing is her death.
