One of the themes in Macbeth is that wrongdoings have serious consequences. Discuss this statement with careful reference to the play and to the decline of BOTH Lady Macbeth and Macbeth.
Shakespeare's women are not slaves or subordinates to men in the plays. They are complete characters in their own right; they influence the plot; they have dreams, ambitions, feelings, and desires; they are capable of sin and guilt, as well as joy and love; they, like men, can become tragic figures. With specific reference to scenes and events in the play, discuss how much of this is true for Lady Macbeth.
The search for power was Macbeth/Lady Macbeth's fatal flaw.
Who is the tragic character in the story?
Wednesday we'll do the multiple choice questions, Thursday the essay/short answer.
