Overview: Students select one quotation for each key scene from the table provided and use it to analyse Macbeth’s character. Students evaluate on a scale of 1 to 5 whether he comes across as strong or weak. They then use this to plot Macbeth’s changing character and have a visual representation of his power/weakness across Acts1-5. This can then be compared to Lady Macbeth’s (included in ppt) and students develop their own interpretations/ justify their opinions. Powerpoint and worksheets included.
