Watch the rest of the Ethan Hawke, Uncovering Shakespeare. The last assignment ended at 21:25; you can pick up from there). When you have finished, please go to the Class blog for Period 1 and Period 2 and answer these two questions raised by Hawke at the end of the film. (One response for both questions)
Hawke asks "What do we feel about him? [Macbeth]?" I would add to that, what do we feel about Lady Macbeth? He then says that the greatest challenge in playing Macbeth (I also argue Lady Macbeth) is in getting people to care about the Macbeths, to have empathy for them. Do you care about Macbeth? Lady Macbeth? Do you feel any empathy or sympathy for them? Your answer should be approx. 100 words long and should include some examples. You can also relate this to your own life or any one in history.
Honors: For the rest of class, I'd like you to work on your Macbeth motif paper that is due 3/16. Open the attachment below for specific instructions on the 5 quotes I'd like you to bring to class on Wednesday. If you've already done that, double check to ensure that you have done it correctly. You can use the rest of class to look at the Macbeth study guide or work on your Macbeth project (or work quietly on anything else you need to work on). Quiet being the key. Thanks!
