This worksheet supports pupils in exploring Act 3, Scene 6 of Macbeth, set in Forres, the palace, where suspicion surrounding Macbeth’s rise to power begins to grow. A range of differentiated questions guides students through comprehension, inference, language analysis and thematic exploration, helping them examine Shakespeare’s presentation of political tension, emerging resistance, and the shifting loyalties of the Scottish nobles. Pupils are encouraged to analyse how this scene builds momentum toward open rebellion and exposes the consequences of Macbeth’s tyranny.
Ideal for KS3 lessons, homework or revision, this resource strengthens close‑reading skills and deepens understanding of Shakespeare’s dramatic structure, themes of power and corruption, and use of dialogue to reveal hidden truths.
