- Link to Shakespeare’s purpose … Flatter King James? Cautionary tale? LadyMacbeth is an equal partner… could be a good thing and a bad thing?
- Have a strong thesis… for example:
In the archetypal Scottish play “Macbeth”, Shakespeare portrays the effects of
usurpation through the protagonist Macbeth. He also shows how violence can lead to
moral failure.
- If it asks you to, start with the extract
- Giving an alternative interpretation is a good way to get higher marks
- Tie points together
- Explain the quotes, so it is clear the play is understood
- Link back to thesis and context points
- Remember Shakespeare was in JACOBEAN times
- Make sure conclusion goes back to the ideas in the plan/thesis… to create a
STRONG argument
- AO1 - Sound unique, don’t have basic and dull points
- AO2 - Talk about the effect of language (language devices, words phrases), structure
(order in which things are happening) and form (it is a tragedy, play)
- AO3 – Context, how men were treated, relationships, how women were viewed, etc.
