Fabulous Friday!

Block A: A slight contrast today - with 2 different movie versions. Interesting observations. No homework this weekend!

Block B: Comm 11 - work on your memory book continues next week.
Comm 12 - Provincial prep continues with Ms. White

Block D: Today we read act 2 of our play - another excellent day of reading. Then there were some questions for you to complete on the act - and a quiz to complete on Monday. Here are the questions:

Scene 1
When Banquo and Macbeth meet in the courtyard of the castle, they engage in a brief, but significant, dialogue. Paraphrase their discussion and explain the significance.

Scene 2
How does Macbeth react after the murder of Duncan? Use direct quotations to support your answer.

Scene 3
Malcolm and Donalbain reveal their distrust of those around them at the close of this scene. Discuss with direct reference to the play.

Scene 4
One of the sub-themes of Shakespeare's play is that of disorder or the disruption of the natural order. Discuss the numerous references to this theme during this brief scene.

  • Define symbolism
  • What does the blood on their hands symbolize?
  • Why is sleep a symbol of innocence?
  • What is the significance of the words Macbeth hears when he kills Duncan?
