    Hi!

    Just wondering how many Macbeth questions should you cover in order to be 'safe' or at least kinda safe!

    :confused:

    I'm really not that bothered to be honest. But my English teacher said Lady Macbeth could be a character question on her own,and she has really focused on the presence of the supernatural.

    Good luck!

    Out of the whole english paper (both I & II) the Macbeth question is scaring me the most since I've only been doing it for a few months.

    I have the belief that they normally ask a theme question and a character question. Is this true?
    I've also been told that they've always asked about the relationship between Lady M and M so I'm worried about what kind of question they could ask. Argh!

    I'm planning on doing:

    Themes:
    Good v Evil
    Appearance vs Reality
    Kingship/Power


    Characters:
    Macbeth - tragic hero question
    Lady M
    Banquo - role
    Macduff - role

    Other
    Imagery
    Account for the enduring popularity of Macbeth

    But, in reality, I'll probably take my chances and do the ones in bold. Haha!

    Banquo has been mentioned a couple of times in this thread, and by my english teacher... maybe I should give him a bit of a look-see.

    Aye, I've never really done anything on him tbh.
    Now I'm worried.
    Better get to work on it!

    A question on Macbeth as a tragic hero will cover a charachter question on Macbeth, a theme question, that one that came up on one of the mock papers about sympathy and disgust, and others which I can't actually think of right now.. but yeah! Tragic hero, guys!
