GCSE Romeo and Juliet

Does anyone have any Romeo and Juliet quotes with analysis and context/revision materials? I'd be very grateful, thank you
for english lit i got an 8 overall, and i started getting grades like this after looking at grade 9 example answers (i got these from my teacher, so you can ask yours, or you might be able to find some online)

for revision leading up to the exam, i mainly used videos to make notes on stuff related to what teachers predicted the question for the paper to be, "top 10 quotes" then memorising them and the analysis for each quote, then summaries of the play overall (some of them talked through it, some of them talked while drawing out a mindmap).

off the top of my head, the youtubers i watched most for this were
- mr salles teaches english
- mr everything english
- mr bruff

reading through the revision guide and flashcards helped, but didn't quite give me the detail i wanted, so the videos definitely helped.

i wouldn't recommend doing this like the day before the exam like i did though lmao, try memorising some stuff for like 10-15 minutes a day if you can (or at least at a regular basis), then answer some past paper questions once you've got enough notes

good luck btw!

was the ten quotes for each text enough? or did you have to learn more than 10 for each text? and if you did only learn 10, do you think you would've been able to get a higher grade if you learnt more? thanks!
