Here are some questions to help you remember points mentioned in this video. What does Dramatic Tragedy mean? What is Shakespeare’s strong warning about ambition? How was Macbeth’s relationship with King Duncan prior to the witches’ arrival? What words show this? What metaphor does Banquo introduce in the scene with the witches? What does it suggest? How does Macbeth feel about killing King Duncan? What quote supports this? Why does the audience know it won’t be a ‘happy prologue’? What does the very first act establish? How does Shakespeare use ‘asides’? What do they show about Macbeth? What does Macbeth’s ambition corrupt? Why is “I fear thy nature” an ironic quote? How do the witches’ prophecies impact Lady Macbeth? What is a soliloquy? What does the metaphor ‘plague the inventor’ suggest to the audience? What does he say about justice? How do we know that Macbeth’s ambition has consumed him? (‘I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, only vaulting ambition…’) What does the hallucination of the dagger represent? What does Macbeth convince himself is leading him to sin? What is the recurring motif which represents their guilt? What does Lady Macbeth’s phrase ‘Out, damned spot! Out I say!’ show about Lady Macbeth? What are the consequences of ambition for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth?

Also, Was Lady Macbeth acting out of love or desire?

[@carolineclarke6490]

@Wandile Dlamini she wanted power for herself - queen. She wanted to support her husband in fulfilling his destiny, according to the witches. Or she is suffering from PND and looking for something to replace her dead child. Macbeth wanted the kingship for himself to replace his dead child. To please his wife as she has lost a child. He might be suffering from PTSD from the war that he has just fought. Or he might me fulfilling the witches' prophecies..

A reminiscence of good old time. Thanks! I first read it in the year 1967.

[@SchoolingOnline]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@razmaararazmaara7272]

A fantastic review. The Bard will remain authentic for the rest of time. See the mankind falling prey to dark and deep desires, "ambition corrupts the best". Thanks.
