Macbeth

Let’s have a practice counting Starter Activity Speaking & Listening The starter activity is based on a drama game. In the original game you count as far as you can. Only one person is allowed to speak at once. If more than one person speaks at once we must begin again. Let’s have a practice counting Now let’s try it with words. Use the quote on the next slide to play the game. Remember: one speaker per word only!

When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurly burly's done, When the battle's lost, and won. Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.

A Closer Look Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There's no such thing: Macbeth’s soliloquy contains a number of references to evil and the supernatural. With a partner highlight words or phrases which refer to witchcraft, murder and secrecy.

Below is Macbeth’s soliloquy from Act 2, Scene 1. Look at how Shakespeare uses language here to convey Macbeth’s state of mind. It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder, Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace. With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. A bell rings I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
