This ppt. explores the character of Lady Macbeth.
Beginning with the quote: “Lady Macbeth is perhaps the most commanding figure that Shakespeare drew (created)” students will discuss what makes her an interesting character, explore her characteristics, and also understand what audience perceptions would have been at the time.
Students will read / watch key scenes: Act 1 Scene 5, Act 1 Scene 7, and Act 5 Scene 1 and answer the following:
- What is Lady Macbeth actually saying here?
- Could you link this to any other parts of the text?
- How is Lady Macbeth feeling in this scene?
- What are problems with what Lady Macbeth wants/ has done?
- What are the benefits for Lady Macbeth getting what she wants?
and then re-watch again, this time focusing on themes: power, mystery, evil.
A good lesson that would prepare students for an essay or analysis.
