J8 Macbeth


One of the best ways to empathise with the characters in a story is by working through drama.
Today I read out key parts of Macbeth and asked J8 to freeze frame each situation. We then discussed how each character might feel in that particular scene.

Can you spot the situation from the poses in the photographs?

* The Wierd Sisters discuss Macbeth
*Macbeth defeats the forces of Norway
*Macbeth and Banquo here the prophecy of the Wierd Sisters
*The traitor Cawdor is executed and King Duncan praises Macbeth
*Duncan makes his son Malcolm his heir, much to Macbeth's anger
*Lady Macbeth summons spirits to give her the strength to kill King Duncan
*Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that he is a coward
*Macbeth and Banquo have suspicions about each other
*Macbeth enters Duncan's room and prepares to kill the King
*Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth that he has killed Duncan...but is full of guilt
