The first Act of Macbeth introduces some interesting characters and scenes. Notice already the motifs of darkness, strange omens, and epic foreshadowing that you can connect throughout the rest of the play. We will track these connections through analysis and summary of quotes by characters throughout the play. The first Character Quotes sheet is due at the end of the unit on test day.We have begun to track paradoxes in the first scene. Think about how these establish a theme and particular motif in the play.
We will watch these three versions of Act I.i and compare director's choices for how to present Shakespeare's words in a real-life enactment.
The following handouts will be completed by the end of Act I and are due on Wednesday.
