This worksheet supports pupils in exploring Act 4, Scene 1 of Macbeth, set in a cavern with a boiling cauldron, where the witches reveal new prophecies that drive Macbeth deeper into tyranny. A range of differentiated questions guides students through comprehension, inference, language analysis and thematic exploration, helping them examine Shakespeare’s presentation of the supernatural, illusion versus reality, and Macbeth’s growing dependence on dark forces. Pupils are encouraged to analyse how the apparitions shape Macbeth’s decisions and how this scene intensifies the play’s sense of inevitability and doom.

Ideal for KS3 lessons, homework or revision, this resource strengthens close‑reading skills and deepens understanding of Shakespeare’s dramatic structure, use of symbolism, and development of tragic momentum.
