Macbeth – Final Acts

 

Outside links:

BBC’s Bitesized Revision for Macbeth – This is a very good site as it gives you a lot of basic information but also many good questions that require you to think critically about Macbeth. I’ve used the test on the character of Macbeth in class before.

Macbeth on Sparknotes – The fastest way to get freshen yourself on your understanding of the plot. Do remember that this is not a foolproof way to study for the exams. You still need to engage in actively thinking about the play and what are your feelings or opinions.

Macbeth Quiz Buster – For when your brain gets tired of studying …

Macbeth’s Quotes Quiz – Very good quiz with very good quotations. Maybe if you listen to it on repeat you’ll manage to memorise them somehow. =)

Quoting Evidence – This brief guide tells you how to quote evidence properly and not narrate the play.

 

So that should be it. Study hard and you will pass. In the mean time, you can still find me at the office, or extension 255 if you need any help. We’re onto the final stretch! You can make it! And I’m cheering for you!

Cheers,

1)If he had not kill King Duncan,he may not even be the next king in the first place.If he is fated to be the rightful king,he would not need to resort to such dirty acts just to attain the throne.The witches’ might also come up with fake prophecies just to turn Macbeth into a evil and vicious person.Lady Macbeth also persuaded him strongly to be the king and have all the powers himself to control others.I doubt M acbeth is evil by nature but because of the witches’ appearance,it totally changed his personality.

2)Dear Macbeth,

I think that this prophecy will be true as well.I don’t think that you are cruel enough to kill someone who treated so well in the past.I should carry out the plan myself to kill King Duncan when he comes to the castle for the stayover.I will go into his room in the middle of the nightafter making the soldiers drunked and stabbed hie with the dagger.Next, we will blame it on the soldiers for not fulfilling their duties to protect the king.Please give me your advice and opinions.

From,
Macbeth

Q1)
In my opinion, if Macbeth had not kill Duncan, he would most probably not be king and continued life the way it always was. As Duncan made Malcolm heir to the throne, Macbeth would not have a chance to be king. A prophecy alone given to Macbeth by the three witches would not come true if Macbeth does not pursue his destiny.

Q2)
My charming husband,
Wow, can you believe those witches? Two of their prophecies have already came true and there’s certainly no particular reason why the third and last one wouldn’t, don’t you think? Well, since you’re destined to become king, let’s make it quick and easy for Duncan. He wouldn’t even know who killed him till he’s dead. We’ll make his servants and guards drunk and we’ll plunge a knife into his throat. By the time he’s cursing us from hell, I’d be torturing his wife and making her life worse than hell. Anyways, hope to see soon.
Loving you 4ever,
Your admirable lover ❤

1) Had Macbeth not chosen to kill Duncan, do you think he would have eventually become king? Why?

If Macbeth didn’t kill Duncan, I think he may not be the next king. If he is fated to be the king, no evil acts will be needed to be carried out to fulfill his destiny. Furthermore, the witches’ prophecies may not be true too. They may have came up with the prophecies to lead Macbeth onto carrying out such evil acts, under his wife’s persuasion. Macbeth’s cold and evil wife also contributes to such evil acts that Macbeth had done as she questioned his character when he was doubtful of what to do, which quicken his way to succeed the throne.

2) During e-learning, you wrote a short email from Macbeth to his wife. Now as Lady Macbeth, write a short reply to her husband via email as well.

Dear sweetheart,
Are the witches’ prophecies really true?? Then quickly kill Duncan and succeed the throne already! Do not get so soft hearted and carry this action out bravely! Think of the future that we can have and do not hesitate! With the throne, we can have all the power we want and eliminate our enemies! Now, listen to me and get rid of Duncan for our predestined future as predicted by the witches! Do adhere to my advice and return to me soon.
Your darling,
Lady Macbeth

1) Had Macbeth not chosen to kill King Duncan do you think he would have eventually become king?

I do not think that Macbeth would have become the king if he did not kill King Duncan. As King Duncan’s elder son, Malcolm, is the heir to the throne. If Macbeth did not kill King Duncan, Malcolm would be the next king. The prophecy was also to lure Macbeth into killing Duncan and Duncan had already announced that Malcolm would succeed the throne.Macbeth will not have any chance at all.

2) During your e-learning, you wrote a short email from Macbeth to his wife. Now as Lady Macbeth, write a short reply to her husband via email.

Dear Honey Pie,

It’s been long since i heard from you, baby! Maybe that prophecy made by those 3 old and ugly hags are true but you know what? I love that idea!!!  You are suited to be the king, anyway. You can count me in too! Let’s bring that Duncan down together! I try to work on the plan and when i figure it out then i will send to you another email! I know, i know, come let’s call this project ” Forget you” so people dont suspect. I cannot wait for this to happen, baby! It’s like a totally dream come true, hon.  Come home soon okay, baby? You always make me worry and when you come home, i’ll try to have the plan ready so i can discuss with you.

P.S. Try not to be such a cow and soft-hearted person. YOU MUST NOT HESITATE TOO! Heheh:>

From your hottest babe and the love of your life,

Lady Macbeth;D

Love me cause i love you.<3

Q1)Had Macbeth not chosen to kill King Duncan,do you think he would have eventually become king? Why?

I personally think that if Macbeth had stood to his own will and resisted the temptation to kill king Duncan,he would not have became the king.King Duncan had already announced Malcom as the prince of Cumberland and thus for Macbeth to vie for the throne would nearly be impossibe.Lady Macbeth had also played an important role by in instigating Macbeth to kill Duncan and as for Macbeth , he was being taken in by the evil prophecy that cause him to kill Duncan.

Q2)During e-learning, you wrote a short email from Macbeth to his wife. Now as lady Macbeth, write a short reply to her husband via email as well.

Dear Macbeth,

It would be brilliant for you to ascend the throne. Having heard of the two prophecy becoming true,i am quiet sure that the next one would also most probably be an authentic one so i have already drafted a plan for you to become king. Since Duncan is coming to Inverness tonight , lets strike while the iron is hot.I have a superb scheme in mind and it would be killing Duncan in his sleep and then framing the guards for performing the evil deed.Come back swiftly and i will tell you in detail.

Your Darling
