What ghostly vision does Macbeth see on his way to murder the king in Act 2 Scene 1?  \n7. How does Lady Macbeth try to make it look like the king’s grooms have murdered him?  \n8. Who discovers the King murdered in the morning?  \n9. What do the king’s sons, Malcolm and Donaldbain, decide to do?  \n10.

When Macduff kills Macbeth, what other two prophecies are proved correct?  \n Step 2 LANGUAGE AND THEMES   \nHow much do you know about the language and themes of the play?  \n1. Here are five quotations from the play. Can you identify who is speaking (and, where relevant, who they are speaking to)?  \na) ‘Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here’(Act 1 Scene 5)  \nb) ‘O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!’(Act 3 Scene 2)  \nc) ‘Avaunt, and quit my sight, let the earth hide thee—/Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold...’ (Act 3 Scene 4)  \nd) ‘Be bloody, bold and resolute; laugh to scorn/The power of man; for none of woman born/Shall harm Macbeth’(Act 4 Scene 1)  \ne) ‘Here’s the smell of the blood still—all the/perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. O,/O, O.’ (Act 5 Scene 1)  \n2. Read these further quotations. What theme(s) do you think they are linked to, or explore, e.g. Good and evil? Ambition? Why?  \na) Banquo (to Macbeth) : ‘oftentimes, to win us to our harm,/The instruments of darkness tell us truths...’ (Act 1 Scene 3)  \nb) Macbeth (to Lady Macbeth): ‘False face must hide what the false heart doth know’(Act 1 Scene 7)  \nc) Macbeth (after the murder to Lady Macbeth): I’ll go no more:/I am afraid to think what I have done.’ (Act 2 Scene 2)  \nd) Macbeth (to himself): ‘Stars, hide your fires,/Let not light see my black and deep desires’(Act 1 Scene 4)  \ne) Malcolm (about the Macbeths): ‘this dead butcher, and his fiend-like Queen’(Act 5 Scene 7)  \nStep 3  \nWRITING SKILLS  \nA student has drafted this para","cbCaisjQOV41gwbI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisjQOV41gwbI","pdf",6210083,24,"English","# Starthere\n# Your 4-Step Check-up on Macbeth\n## Step 1: Plot and Characters\n## Step 2: Language and Themes\n## Step 3: Writing Skills\n## Step4: Close Analysis\n## Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What does Step 1 focus on in the Macbeth check-up pack?\",\"answer\":\"Step 1 focuses on plot and characters through quiz-style questions that test understanding of key events, figures, and turning points.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Step 2 help students study Macbeth?\",\"answer\":\"Step 2 builds knowledge of language and themes by using quotations and asking learners to identify who is speaking and which themes the lines connect to.\"},{\"question\":\"What is included in the close analysis section?\",\"answer\":\"The close analysis section presents Act 2 Scene 2 text, asks why the scene is important, and prompts students to write one to two paragraphs linking characters, themes, language, and connections to other parts of the play.\"}]","York Notes Pathway to Success - Macbeth - Your 4-Step Check-up | PDF",1790770206]
