  1. Warm-up • Pick either Macbeth or Lady Macbeth, and list everything you know about them, being sure to include at least two quotes.

  2. Standards Essential Question How does dramatic irony change both our perceptions and that of the characters? How does analyzing characters help our understanding of a reading? • ELACC11-12W1: Write arguments to support claims…, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. • ELACC11-12W2: Write…to examine and convey…clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. • ELACC11-12RL6: Analyze a case in which grasping point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g., satire, sarcasm, irony, or understatement). • ELACC11-12RL7: Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem, evaluating how each version interprets the source text. ?

  3. Act II, Scene 4 Setting: Outside Macbeth’s castle • The Thane of Ross encounters an Old Man, who confirms the widespread reports of disruption in the natural world.  • Macduff appears saying that Duncan is buried, that his sons have fled, and that the kingship has passed to Macbeth. • The witches’ predictions have been fulfilled.

  4. Act III

  5. Act III, Scene 1 Setting: Duncan’s palace • Banquo suspects Macbeth, but isn’t worried about it because if the witches’ first prediction came true, why not the one about his children becoming kings? • Banquo goes riding with Fleance (his son) with the understanding to be back in time for a special feast. • Macbeth hires two murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance.

  6. Act III, Scene 2 Setting: Duncan’s palace • Macbeth is worried that Banquo is still a threat to his throne. • Macbeth asks Lady Macbeth to be super sweet to Banquo during the feast to lull him into a false sense of security. • Macbeth does NOT tell his wife that he has planned Banquo’s murder.

  7. Act III, Scene 3 Setting: A park near the palace • Three murderers wait to kill Banquo and Fleance. • Banquo and his son approach on horseback and dismount. • They kill Banquo, who tells his son to run away and avenge his death. • The murderers take Banquo’s body to show Macbeth.

  8. Macbeth seems to realize that he might be going crazy when he considers that the dagger might be “of the mind, a false creation, / Proceeding from the heat-oppressèdbrain” (Macbeth 2, 1, 38-39). Regardless of whether the dagger is real or not, it symbolizes his guilt, which stems from his good nature and lack of ambition.

  9. Anything you can do, I can do better. • Create a Venn Diagram or chart comparing/contrasting Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. • Using your graphic organizer, write a short essay (3-5 “good” paragraphs) comparing and contrasting the Macbeths. *Graphic organizer and essay both due by next class. You have until 11:25, or it’s homework. pollarddropbox@hotmail.com

  10. Exit Slip • Predict what will happen in the rest of the play. Homework • Read Act III, Scenes 4-6.
