Hey, I don’t quite understand how both outsourcing for the venetian state can be both a benefit (as a result of perturbation) and how outsourcing somehow replaces and separates what is evil and base in venetian society. Do you think you could spare a few words to help me understand this concept ? :)

@JenChan Год назад

By outsourcing military action and aggressive energies to a tributary/foreign state (Cyprus), Venice can contain and maintain its status as a fortress of culture and civility. But the problem with fashioning this sterilised self-image is that it shoves under the carpet those natural, more primal (and thus less civilised) energies that reside in any state, including Venice. So by outsourcing these energies elsewhere, the Venetian state is suppressing what needs to be unleashed naturally within the state. Iago represents, in a way, the dangers of letting these energies get pent up for too long, and his manipulations could be seen as an expression of long repressed impulses of man's darker side.

Thank you for this amazing video. It's incredibly helpful. Just one question: I thought Coleridge coined the term 'motiveless malignity' not Bradley? Thank you :)

@JenChan Год назад

Right, Coleridge had originally mentioned this but Bradley expanded on the meaning of the phrase

@MrMjdc Год назад

I understand, thank you. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your videos on Othello. They are absolutely amazing and I think my exam went better today than it would have done had I not watched your videos. I’ve already recommended you to the year below me and I hope you continue to upload videos as they are excellent. Thank you very, very much. :)

Another great video! Thanks, Jen!

You are so welcome, and thanks for watching! 😘

@sippycupgeorgia8078 Год назад

your videos are so helpful thank you!! are you going to be making any more specific key quote analysis for othello? your analysis is so good :)

@JenChan Год назад

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, Georgia! Glad to know that the videos have helped you. Most, if not all, of my Othello videos incorporate quotation analysis - it's just all in context of the broader topic/theme I'm discussing in that particular video, which frankly is how I think we should approach quotation analysis anyway (vs looking at quotations in isolation). But I will try my best to keep (!) creating Othello videos. If you have any specific topics to suggest that I haven't already covered, please let me know :)

@sippycupgeorgia8078 Год назад

@@JenChan thank you for the reply! i have exhausted most of your othello and gatsby content for my a levels coming up, they help massively🥰 a video on emilia or on othello’s descent into madness / the breakdown of his speech throughout the play? would be amazing but any topic is good !!

@JenChan Год назад

Yes character analyses of Emilia and Cassio will be up next two weeks!

@daphnem3778 Год назад

Hi Jen thank you so much for all of your videos!! If you have time anytime soon would it be possible to make anymore merchant of venice videos as i loved your justice one and there are barely any resources for it. Thanks xx

@JenChan Год назад

Thanks for watching and suggesting! My plan is to make more MOV videos, but that will come after this year's GCSE/A-Levels as I have a long pipeline to get through...! So stay tuned but know that I hear ya :)

@byersvhs 4 месяца назад

just so I can easily come back to this: 5:39 - context 2: military professional, cultural alien.

@dhylbob8291 Год назад

Hi jen! I don't mean to be ungrateful for the already amazing videos you have made, but could you make 1 final poetry analysis video on Remains by Simon Armitage.
