Hope is a beautiful thing. It rings through Dickens' novella like the bells of Christmas day, but is it the right kind of hope? Let's look at how a relatively simple idea can be transformed into a top-level essay response.

🔒 Macbeth episode 5 - To what extent is Macbeth a hero?
Subscriber-only episode
Subcsribe to GCSE English Revisionpod + here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/227488/subscribe
The best essays will move around a text and show a detailed understanding of the work as a whole. And you will need to be able to do this to ace this question. Can a man who murders his king be called a hero? In order to be a true villain, do you perhaps need something of the hero about you? Complex questions lead to great essays.
