This 4th series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has explored the theme of ambition in the play. The theme focuses on the negative impact of unbridled ambition having the power to destroy. The three sisters played on this element of ambition, it was their weapon. The strongest overt references are in Act 1, and so for this set there are three cards linked to Act 1. However, there are subtle inferences to ambition as destructive in Acts 2-5 that are worth remembering should there be an essay question that asks the student to make points about ambition from the play as a whole. The quote is on the left hand side of each card Prompts for discussion are on the right hand side of each card The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and of how the plot is moved forward where this theme of ambition as destructive can be strongly linked. Other sets available: Set 1 – The Supernatural Set 2 – Tragic Hero Set 3 – Guilt/Anxiety Set 5 – Characterisation Set 6 – Plot Development/movement Look out for Bundles too!
