Overview:
Students select one quotation for each key scene from the table provided and use it to analyse Macbeth’s character.
Students evaluate on a scale of 1 to 5 whether he comes across as strong or weak.
They then use this to plot Macbeth’s changing character and have a visual representation of his power/weakness across Acts1-5.
This can then be compared to Lady Macbeth’s (included in ppt) and students develop their own interpretations/ justify their opinions.
Powerpoint and worksheets included.
