The Creepiest word in Macbeth

Focuse on the word ‘the’ in MacB For the more able We can link these linguistic observations to Stephen Booth’s critical claim about indefinition in Macbeth  Macbeth is a play which presents the new as old and the indefinite and uncertain as certain  Paradoxically, the effect of this apparent certainty is uncertainty and dislocation to the reader: the formal structures of the language, the function of words, are telling us one thing (things are familiar, fixed and certain); but the content words are telling us something else  A determiner tells us how to think about the specifics being mentioned In your own exam answers, consider how ‘the’ and ‘th’ have been used when you are analysing at word level.

I’ve collated links to further wider reading for Year 11s aimed at 7-9 students for P&C. This reading will also expose them to article writing too (so will support them in exposing them to high quality writing with conviction and tone for P2Q5). There are some really interesting articles for the experiences from different war photographers and there are also some interesting reads on some of the poets too!
