As a way for each of you to evaluate were you are personally in terms of understanding the content in this unit, this reflection is relatively general. I want each of you to discuss some places in the literature were you have seen your topic represented (disasters, government, neoclassicism, etc). Remember your rubric for this blog. (Hint: You will want to refer to some quotes from the literature)

Mac 2

Now that we have finished the play I want you to reflect on it. Pick two characters and discuss their personalities progression throughout the story. How did they begin, what events changed them and how did they end. What moral lessons can be learned from the end of the play?

Mac

As we are reading through Mabeth I thought I would give some questions to respond to before we finish reading.

-From what we have read, what do you think Macbeth's tragic flaw is? How has this led to his rise to power? What part do you think it will play as the story moves forward?
*Tragic flaw: A flaw in the character of the protagonist of a tragedy that brings the protagonist to ruin or sorrow.

-Describe what your initial impression of Lady Macbeth is. Point out behavior, personality, and actions which have led you to this initial impression. As we read on how do you think her personality might change?

Remember to leave your name at the end of the comment if you want a grade for this response. The most important thing to remember is the these are YOUR thoughts. If you have any questions make sure and email me or ask me in class.
