20 Macbeth as Tragedy Classical tragedy (Greeks like Aristotle or Sophocles and Romans like Seneca): A protagonist who falls from prosperity to misery as a result of a tragic flaw or moral weakness. The protagonist is basically a good person. Tragedy evokes pity and fear in the audience. Medieval tragedy: A person falls from high to low estate as fortune spins her wheel. Remember the supers$$ous quality of the Middle Ages? Renaissance tragedy: More similar to Classical tragedy than Medieval. The protagonist has a tragic flaw or moral weakness that leads to his/her downfall. Shakespeare s tragedies are considered universal and Gmeless. Macbeth is too evil of a character for Aristotle to have considered him a tragic hero.

24 Historical [In]Accuracy Shakespeare used Holinshed s Chronicles to an extent 11 th century: The characters are based on real people, but very loosely. Macbeth was king and succeeded Duncan, but Duncan was killed nobly by Macbeth in bakle Malcolm was a child Duncan was young and wild; Macbeth known as being cruel 13 th century bakle between Norwegians and Scots? How do we get a Medieval feel for the semng?
25 King James I Was Shakespeare s patron Had an interest in witches even wrote a book en$tled Daemonologie. Would have been interested in Macbeth s sense of conscience. KJ was very interested in the human conscience. He wrote: Conscience it is nothing else but the light of knowledge that God hath planted in man. King James was said to be Banquo s direct descendent, so he is portrayed as good and noble throughout the play.
26 Act I Scene i: The three witches set the spooky mood and establish things are not what they seem: Fair is foul, and foul is fair (I.i.12). They plan a meet with Macbeth (I.i.8).

30 Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top- full Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood; Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunc$ous visi$ngs of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature's mischief! What beast was't, then, That made you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; And, to be more than what you were, you would Be so much more the man. Nor $me nor place Did then adhere, and yet you would make both: They have made themselves, and that their fitness now Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know How tender 'Fs to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this. Lady Macbeth s CharacterizaFon Was the hope drunk Wherein you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since? And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely? From this $me Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, LeMng 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,' Like the poor cat i' the adage?
31 Macbeth s Soliloquy I.vii.1-28 If it were done when '$s done, then 'twere well It were done quickly: if the assassina$on Could trammel up the consequence, and catch With his surcease success; that but this blow Might be the be- all and the end- all here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of $me, We d jump the life to come. But in these cases We s$ll have judgment here; that we but teach Bloody instruc$ons, which, being taught, return To plague the inventor: this even- handed jus$ce Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice To our own lips. He's here in double trust; First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his facul$es so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet- tongued, against The deep damna$on of his taking- off; And pity, like a naked new- born babe, Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air, Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaul$ng ambi$on, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other.
32 Closing Monday, October 4th IN CLASS: Read on in Act II. Watch a video. HOMEWORK DUE: Read through Act II, Scenes 1-3.
33 Monday, October 20 th Today s Goals: Discuss Macbeth s Act II soliloquy. Watch part of Roman Polanski s film. DO NOW: Open the Shakesperience. Write a summary for the first three scenes of Act II. One summary per scene!
34 Act II Scene i: Banquo has felt uneasy and notes the darkness of the night, and then everyone goes to bed. Macbeth hallucinates and sees a bloody dagger in the air, but in the end braces himself to commit the murder. Scene ii: Macbeth goes to Lady Macbeth, and his hands are dripping with blood (he s even brought the daggers back with him that he was supposed to leave to frame the guards!). Macbeth is panicked and fearful, so it is Lady Macbeth who brings the daggers back to frame the guards. Her hands are now both literally and figura$vely bloodied. Scene iii: Macduff and Lennox arrive at the castle, and then everyone realizes that the king has been slain. Scene iv: Duncan s sons have fled from Scotland (they fear for their lives), so it is assumed that they are behind the murders. Their claim to the throne is forfeit, and Macbeth will be named the new King.
35 Macbeth II.i Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee s$ll. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false crea$on, Proceeding from the heat- oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee s$ll, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There's no such thing: It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtain'd sleep; witchcrav celebrates Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder, Alarum'd by his sen$nel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace. With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm- set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the $me, Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. Explain 2-3 ways in which this soliloquy is significant in the play. A bell rings I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
36 Macbeth II.i Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee s$ll. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creafon, Proceeding from the heat- oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee s$ll, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before.

Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. Macbeth s soliloquy at the beginning of Act II shows his conflict about killing King Duncan and further develops the play s ominous mood. These effects are achieved through Macbeth s symbolic vision of a bloody dagger and allusions to people and pracfces that conjure up images of evil. (A bell rings) I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.

40 Checking in with the Plot What is Macbeth and Lady Macbeth s ini$al plan? I.vii LADY MACBETH: When Duncan is asleep, Whereto the rather shall his day s hard journey Soundly invite him, his two chamberlains Will I with wine and wassail so convince That memory, the warder of the brain, Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason A limbeck only. When in swinish sleep Their drenched natures lie as in a death, What cannot you and I perform upon The unguarded Duncan? What about Malcolm and Donalbain? II.iii MALCOLM: What will you do? Let s not consort with them. To show an unfelt sorrow is an office Which the false man does easy. I ll to England. DONALBAIN: To Ireland, I. Our separated fortune Shall keep us both the safer. Where we are There s daggers in men s smiles. The near in blood, The nearer the bloody.

47 One of the most important and most obvious symbols in Lord of the Flies is the object that gives the novel its name, the pig's head. Golding's descrip$on of the slaughtered animal's head on a spear is very graphic and even frightening. The pig's head is depicted as "dim- eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth," and the "obscene thing" is covered with a "black blob of flies" that "$ckled under his nostrils" (137-8). As a result of this detailed, striking image, the reader becomes aware of the great evil and darkness represented by the Lord of the Flies, and when Simon begins to converse with the seemingly inanimate, devil- like object, the source of that wickedness is revealed. Even though the conversa$on may be en$rely a hallucina$on, Simon learns that the beast, which has long since frightened the other boys on the island, is not an external force. In fact, the head of the slain pig tells him, "Fancy thinking the beast was something you could hunt and kill! You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you?" (143). At the end of this scene, the immense evil represented by this powerful symbol can once again be seen as Simon faints aver looking into the wide mouth of the pig and seeing "blackness within, a blackness that spread" (144). Thus, evil, epitomized by the pig's head, that is causing the boys' island society to decline, is inherently present within man.
48 Quotation Integration Simon found he was looking into a vast mouth. There was blackness within, a blackness that spread (144). The narrator describes a blackness within, a blackness that spread (144). At the end of this scene, the immense evil represented by this powerful symbol can once again be seen as Simon faints aver looking into the wide mouth of the pig and seeing "blackness within, a blackness that spread" (144).
49 Quotation Integration The silence accepted the giv and awed them. The head remained there, dim- eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth (137-8). Simon sees the head remained there, dim- eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth (137-8). The pig's head is depicted as "dim- eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth," and the "obscene thing" is covered with a "black blob of flies" that "$ckled under his nostrils" (137-8).
50 Quotation Integration At the end of this scene, the immense evil represented by this powerful symbol can once again be seen as Simon faints aver looking into the wide mouth of the pig and seeing "blackness within, a blackness that spread" (144). Use descrip$ve context before presen$ng the quota$on. The pig's head is depicted as "dim- eyed, grinning faintly, blood blackening between the teeth," and the "obscene thing" is covered with a "black blob of flies" that "$ckled under his nostrils" (137-8). Use short pieces of the quota$on pieced throughout the sentence.

53 Let s look at an example PASSAGE: But all s too weak, For brave Macbeth- - well he deserves that name- - Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execu$on, Like Valor s minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to the chops, And fixed his head upon our ba^lements. (I.ii.15-23) CONTEXT: A wounded sergeant speaks about Macbeth s execu$on of a traitor in a bakle that has just ended.

(I.ii.15-23) CONTEXT: A wounded sergeant speaks about Macbeth s execu$on of a traitor in a bakle that has just ended. SENTENCE WITH INTEGRATED QUOTATION: Before the audience meets Macbeth, a wounded sergeant describes Macbeth as brave because he has unseamed [a traitor] from the nave to the chops, / And fixed [that traitor s] head upon [their] baklements (I.ii.16, 22-3).

ANALYSIS: The sergeant s characteriza$on of Macbeth serves two purposes. Firstly, describing Macbeth as brave lets the audience know that the characters in the play revere Macbeth and consider him courageous. Secondly, the audience sees the Macbeth is accustomed to violence and that violent ac$ons in bakle are awarded. While slicing a person open in bakle is gruesome, the sergeant associates it with the posi$ve trait of bravery.

70 Burke's Metaphor for the "Unending Conversation" "Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, un$l you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you, to either the embarrassment or gra$fica$on of your opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally's assistance. However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion s$ll vigorously in progress." (Kenneth Burke, The Philosophy of Literary Form: Studies in Symbolic AcGon 3rd ed Univ. of California Press, 1973)
71 How should these essays relate to my essay? You might feel one of three ways: Agree, but with addi$ons or changes. Disagree. Both agree and disagree. Why is it not okay to simply agree? Because then nothing new is added to the conversa$on! This essay is about how you can contribute something in some way unique and interes$ng. Should the essays factor into my plan/par$$o? No focus the 3-4 points that make up your par$$o on the play. The essays are there to further your discussion of the play, not to create it.
72 Work Time 1. Choose your prompt. 2. Write an idea that answers or responds to the prompt in one sentence. This is the start of brainstorming for your proposigo (argument). 3. Decide which essays are relevant. 4. Reread and mark or highlight por$ons of the essays that relate to your idea. 5. Return to the idea that you ini$ally wrote that answers or responds to the prompt. Hopefully at this point you have some ideas for what you might discuss in response to the prompt. Are there any adjustments you would like to make? Which 3-4 por$ons of the play do you think you can discuss to prove your idea? 6. Write your thesis statement (1-2 sentences). Include both proposifo (argument) and parffo (plan).
