Reflecting on power

Consider what the play says about power. Begin by answering the following questions. Who has power? What kind of power do they have? Where does their power come from? What is the effect when they exercise their power? Are they rewarded or punished? Practice reflective task: You are considering a career in politics. Having read the play "Macbeth", you reflect on what it says about power and what you can learn from this. Make sure that you justify your interpretation of the play's construction of power by providing evidence for it. You may feel that some of what the play says about power does not apply in today's world - you may discuss this.
