Hi again,
There are very few texts in the history of literature which have had more comment and critical attention than Macbeth. That's great news for you, folks, because it means there's lots of help out there.
Here are just a few of the great sites which can help you get your head around Macbeth:
I'm sure there's lots more good stuff out there to be found. And don't forget my own creation: the Macbeth Key Quotes list.
I also quite like bits of this, a study guide created by a Broadway theatre group:
By the way, I think I've found a place where you can download a free Great Expectations Audiobook. It's here or here. You can stream online or download and pop it on your phone. I'd still prefer to hear it in an English accent though. iTunes might be worth a look...
See you all in a week!

There are very few texts in the history of literature which have had more comment and critical attention than Macbeth. That's great news for you, folks, because it means there's lots of help out there.
Here are just a few of the great sites which can help you get your head around Macbeth:

- Sparknotes - Macbeth: an online study guide
- Cliffnotes: Macbeth: and another...
- No Fear Shakespeare: From Sparknotes, the whole play - translated into modern prose!
- Shakespeare Online: the play, with notes, articles, analysis... everything!
- BBC GCSE Bitesize: study guide with videos and tests
- Universal Teacher: notes and tips from a teacher who lived around the corner.
- Witches in Macbeth: From the British Library
- Conjuring darkness in Macbeth: Also from the British Library
I'm sure there's lots more good stuff out there to be found. And don't forget my own creation: the Macbeth Key Quotes list.
