Macbeth: some questions and resources

Hi all,


I’ve been meaning to share some key Macbeth resources for a little while, so here we go…


Here is a pdf file of all the Macbeth questions.

 

Questions on Lady Macbeth, the witches and themes like guilt and ambition are all good bets, so make sure you revise them and prepare your arguments and quotations for them.

 

Here is my model answer to the Lady Macbeth ‘fiend-like’ question.

Here is my uber-plan for a question on the witches.

 

If I think of anything else, I’ll add it later.

I’m putting together some key resources for Macbeth revision. I'll post these soon.  But in the meantime, here are a few more bits on Jekyll and Hyde:

To make it easy to see the past questions at-a-glance, I've summarised them below:

2017: Sympathy for Dr Jekyll (extract from Chapter 7)

2018: How Stevenson creates 'mystery and tension' (Chapter 4)

2019: Hyde as 'inhuman and disturbing' (Chapter 8)

2020: Ideas about 'good and evil' (Chapter 10)

2021: Settings and atmosphere ('disturbing and threatening') (Chapter 10)

2022: Jekyll as a 'mysterious character' (Chapter 6)

2023: Hyde as a 'threatening and dangerous character' (Chapter 1)


Finally, I've written some questions based on things that have not yet come up. Here they are:


 

Hope these help!
