The purpose is simply to provide students with the fundamentals they need to *build upon *as part of their revision. 👑 You can access a similar revision companion on Macbeth by clicking [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/revision-companion-for-macbeth) I hope it’s useful – Doug [hello@douglaswise.co.uk](mailto:hello@douglaswise.co.uk) [![�� A CHRISTMAS CAROL RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87503291119.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJN%2FUaMkjezHUF6w730TbYtt1%2FGSu2un1peAo%2FYCyqihTV8B%2FLkgeH%2FWzEp3DhANGW1KmEDpn1ibEtgDAUyg8IgC1fQf0IwbbG9Fc0H8yoRFnTj%2FWfE0emlGlQ%2B9yVg0oKQ7pGlUQtPacB57fUYB4GPtkr%2F%2F%2BArjAdawfvl7PimhSj2idLYMWscuJkgcA9UvEaxAWg6DZ4lEt8pnY21BkWDZayE2gTQdhBrnvChEf%2FXMe8EhkDaTuGo0qITTz1wTY%2B6IpoXY%2BJTCMO1637%2Bi2mQfggUf6CH%2FxjCRqvxrBnE6Spxezgb6GHROwf0Qg0%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87503291119&portalId=143698377) [![⚔️ MACBETH RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87809133036.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLQQT%2BdEnqZmkoJ48zru5rf5uJ6Gd48dx%2BTNtHhXDGaKUsN8VD9fvAuFtkfnpw%2FyCXfzF9bUIaLI2H23m9nRTyzKxoyrnBTbU975xLWj2qT0swisjFF9IvkeeIyDdX38fpreTnHDlaQam4thdVrd9LE3osfMOijVxXP0ReVdZUx%2BiskaRMyKDtUQn5E97mfvj81AM8EY2og6GqYtTG11Egqb4ip7Xgsgj2w2MR2NTb8LN7Yx1TED%2BAeD9Zk3Iy6xiS9nLHYd%2BSDotKjsbsCVXhoJ8WvU2OP7MlofxM%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87809133036&portalId=143698377) [![�� AN INSPECTOR CALLS RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87489670120.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJ29WJV3fcmnXcL%2BkLORPOuqM7nPNpWmnbBWwpQc%2BlsKU6Vd9M7FjVJMljwed6RR1E2jy6zPyDH3n%2FFv535WedoYCJGQjPNsaLVlA92u7AOFYgMsO4qOE1is65gUAzIaeeMvF1f9oqTSuqLNBb42Vl%2Bl42fOGWCT4LHFsVFz6xPp6D1Q%2BQGdjt0mMj%2FCsr%2FA4cLIl2t%2Bc3zzuaSsaREYeB19RyJXU5da%2BkrDI6CTKOjOAXvAb2OY9%2F0K6PD2fuchxxby0bWrfomsqLN4wx8MCCFxFH3dfANQGtE3Xo%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87489670120&portalId=143698377) [![⭐ PREMIUM RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-183676767443.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKUibEy9Hi5cGwpAqaz2mhuJ7Zi65V55BPfo1pYGUMv1PFJVM1vbANYDcepjnI5XvBnQGPSPnjVgHVuS9LwqaMK4aH15UcNostTsrBb35TaKLUHaYAYI8R5rEm1fkG3PmcwIBKDuCstJVmii4qykWBP7MCFEibU%2BF2GpUtvTcw%2BO4MKnS8ObzGHu7deR48tyeJY8KKBQU86BgwaNgPBKl4qIX8%3D&webInteractiveContentId=183676767443&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
