Macbeth

This week, we began our study of Macbeth. We looked at prophecies: their nature, and whether there is any such thing as a true prophecy - or if all prophecies are self-fulfilling.
We read Act 1 out loud in class, and viewed the Polanski film version.

As you read through the play, you will be working on a Quotes assignment: you will choose one important quote from each act, and complete a brief analysis of it (why did you choose it? how does it contribute to characterization/theme?). Handout available at the side.

Shakepeare introductory notes are also available to the side.
