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=AVxigLL8KjS8ZPsvUkiXCaWXO7AoLZQouDtQ6Y9WvS44B1Wt8Ex%2Fls0WMPKqVShkjACPiEFBXDEEZByUvU1DtRcmlEFPUXLWTamPdV%2Bgb4M7GrJ99%2Bc5rQWyy1t4KwlTXODEghsEQjghnUir3H%2BYS5HAHbx7QNiHqyYlNqY01kLTDW47T1rivozfOwnQw2iZougYHZB53%2FTmKRLHgZoAfchOpJIAjP2MHQ21SXyTQwZnWz5oi6goRL7WNHYy25%2B9T%2BNUXiR8XDUsbvF99p%2Bc5NibtPe2AN2kfQ%2BmfPcLc5dvaHzwMQ2Z9eT6fsscTone9BSmqaQUxgtDARYbmmwHtnEb5VysVps%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=AVxigLJFWgVfLqKZ1gv8400z7smfHvvEd638y%2Fye1mDHKXQ%2BjfnX5xymWAAKMcVd4MXUaA5kLkA39m9n7r%2FFpLT2elx5Z2n8fIxEB%2BOWJvQA6bOOs9JE9J3m5nbiocU5B6N%2FrA9oO264vlAQj4kZF6tzlQ7cTcwNYDy5hfWC6BFXCzjAAHtVW2sEizxhEgwBhNvKQPyCWTkVOlZm1iMLapmfDEdnJ6kP%2FdFbK3T92jXccR8GyX3ekNZGFPh9iooHKLWb8pgc5o02vGsI6m7B40Ug%2Bo%2BNWd71iObRUhZ4QyzjY5NjOANDLelciwodLc9J8IREuxc%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=AVxigLIUVYcr4IxNOYXglx4xHCkJNx2zcbqXQ6Ue1A1UA%2BmPmvQasCgZXKN6kH%2FknmhCy5MrGqgxUaRe4u0y2%2F3krwH9xlZ468cc2R2J1hUgww8bQZJkYdygHEw7fKe8GQi%2BHwwMsN1ndgkE0bmrJ0Hj3PdvEDSIdPZUZq4Tlv15TuvVksvP1NNeDHYhk7AhKeRyID3rDNLX1wGnH8s9Vl7dZ%2BemBUauNqT0JoNRd2jHw1AgBcf0V3IRiU%2BCA%2Fu9iwom5VDARUdvt15fhLMg9VnK5xaNxYtFUy%2FSBxxqRh%2BNeKWtlRuPS8joPja3hHl9tCfaSDk%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=AVxigLLDz9fxROBgYDsg9Jd2dd71N0vr1%2FU0mtu5kOeiRMmOgaoGliW6GGdZyVh5zh7mJvVwuqhvBg5mN6Nq4vCNnOsnNdRyqsCb%2FcYAy1lebP2VbojKvQEiZO0tUuKIsOOvlDx0YhLvM1vFHCeCod9pJhf9V4khQhpprzqRD2arnRyqs0ZsFo3C6brcWNEC58%2FCw5wKYrJvBzS%2BR7HNZbtfbcyeGQ%2FY36BWBB%2FfZxmNn%2BX0EgmFczrIInE%3D&webInteractiveContentId=183676767443&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
