- Analyze the characteristics of tragedy, including tragic hero, climax, resolution, imagery, and figurative language
- Identify main themes, motives and symbolism of Macbeth
- Analyze contrasting characters
- Draw conclusions of the drama
Reflection:
1. Write two strong theme statements for Macbeth. Be sure that these themes are universal - general observations on the human condition and not too specific to this play.
2. At one point Macbeth says that life is “a tale/ Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” What does he mean? How does this statement relate to the events in the play?
