Exploring character in "Macbeth"

Working in a small group choose one of the following characters and make notes in answer to these questions. Make sure that you give evidence for your answers in the form of references to the play or quotations.

  1. Lady Macbeth
  2. Macduff
  3. Banquo
  4. Lady Macduff
  5. The witches
  • What do we know about this character's personality and attitude?
  • Does this change during the course of the play? Explain.
  • Does the character reveal things about another character through his or her actions, dialogue or by comparison.
  • What do we not know about the character and his or her thoughts, feelings or motivations?
Send your notes to Mrs Grehan by email by the end of the lesson and they will be collated on the class blog. We will discuss in class tomorrow.
