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.
Other sets available:
Set 1 – The Supernatural
Set 2 – Tragic Hero
Set 3 – Guilt/Anxiety
Set 5 – Characterisation
Set 6 – Plot Development/movement
Look out for Bundles too!

This Flashcards Bundle evidences ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted Macbeth as a Tragic Hero (set 1), used the supernatural to develop characters (set 2) and intorduce the theme of guilt and anxiety in the play. (Set 3)
Set 1 - The quotes, one from each act evidence ways in which Shakespeare has used the supernatural to develop characters and also to move forward the plot. However, each quote also has relevance to other themes.
Set 2 - The quotes, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted Macbeth as a tragic hero.
A tragedy play in Shakespeare’s time begins with qualities in a hero that are admired. The hero is loved and there is an element of celebrity and role model.
Then a weakness is highlighted and manipulated to bring down the hero with tragic consequences.
Set 3 - The quotes, 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.
Other sets available:
Set 4 – Ambition
Set 5 – Characterisation
Set 6 – Plot Development/movement
