Macbeth Flashcards - Set 3 - Guilt and Anxiety

(0)
This 3rd series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted the theme of guilt and anxiety in the play. It is interesting in Macbeth that Macbeth as a military general had no difficulty in applying violent acts to kill his enemy but could not handle emotionally or mentally the murder of King Duncan. This brings into play questions of right and wrong and integrity and honour. The purpose of memorising the quotes is to aid a deeper knowledge of the play so that when answering a question the student can move around the play with ease. The quote is on the left-hand side of each card. Prompts for discussion are on the right-hand side of each card. The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and plot development. Other sets available: Set 1 – The Supernatural Set 2 – Tragic Hero Set 4 – Ambition Set 5 – Characterisation Set 6 – Plot Development/movement Look out for Bundles too!

Macbeth Flashcards - Set 4 - Ambition

(0)
This 4th series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has explored the theme of ambition in the play. The theme focuses on the negative impact of unbridled ambition having the power to destroy. The three sisters played on this element of ambition, it was their weapon. The strongest overt references are in Act 1, and so for this set there are three cards linked to Act 1. However, there are subtle inferences to ambition as destructive in Acts 2-5 that are worth remembering should there be an essay question that asks the student to make points about ambition from the play as a whole. The quote is on the left hand side of each card Prompts for discussion are on the right hand side of each card The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and of how the plot is moved forward where this theme of ambition as destructive can be strongly linked.
