The witches are the ugliest characters of the drama

Macbeth’s witches are prophets who help Macbeth understand how the kingdom will go. The witches of this story mainly use spells and potions for their magic. The witches are in different scenes… at the beginning of the story, for example, when they meet Macbeth, they tell him the first prophecy that makes a big impact on his life.

King Duncan was a good king. He was proud of his bravest general, Macbeth.

The scene rapresented by Alex in this short film is the banquet with the ghost of Banquo. Banquo was killed by two assassins by order of King Macbeth, only he could see the ghost, in fact the others ( servants, guests and waiters) thought he was crazy.

The Macbeth coat of arms was green to rapresent hope, the cross rapresented Christianity, the vertical stripes rapresented the right war, there were two "M" to indicade the race of the Macbeth that was handed down from generation to generation

The coat -of -arms has been made by Giada.

Ad ogni atto è stato chiesto ai ragazzi di rispondere a delle domande per aiutarli ad approfondire la conoscenza della comprensione dell'opera. La seconda B ha lavorato ad es. su queste...

Act III, scene iii 1) Terrified: can you write at least three other similar adjectives? &nbsp;&nbsp;2) Why is Macbeth terrified? &nbsp;&nbsp;3) What does he see at the dinner table? &nbsp;&nbsp;4) What is happening to him?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5) What does he start doing? &nbsp;6) Why does Macbeth trust the witches? 7)&nbsp;What are Macduff's thoughts? 8) What's Lady Macbeth's behaviour?

Le classi seconde A e D hanno visto e analizzato alcune scene di una famosa versione cinematografica del film ed hanno riflettuto su come da un solo testo teatrale possano nascere realizzazioni molto diverse. il lavoro del regista è fondamentale!

Shakespeare’s&nbsp;house Shakespeare’s house is situated in Warmickshire in England the building is made of wood. It’s a very huge house and it was divided in two parts, both of them have got a red roof, it has a very beautiful garden at the back of the house. In the front part of the house there are very big windows.

Macbeth’s wife had black hair and black eyes. She was very evil and also she changed her husband into an evil man. She was pretty, tall and thin. In order to make her husband king she was ready to kill innocent people. I think she really didn’t love Macbeth and she was responsible for starting the tragic chain of events. When Macbeth killed the king she felt guilty and she was&nbsp;finally afraid of what could happen next. So Lady Macbeth said to her husband:“give me the dagger. I’ll leave it near the sleeping guards and put blood on their faces”.

Lady M. is the most evil woman ever!

Realizzare una Traccia - PLOT “Macbeth” Leggere e tradurre oralmente tutti i 4 atti del libro “Macbeth”. Scrivere sul proprio quaderno o sul file il PLOT del Macbeth in modo esteso, rileggendo e trascrivendo alcune parti già scritte del libro e trasformando alcuni dialoghi in modo discorsivo affinché la traccia sia descritta in modo&nbsp;dettagliato. Ecco le pagine in cui troviamo alcuni stralci per la composizione del PLOT: pag. 5, 6, 11, 16, 20, 25, 31, 32, 43, 51, 62 – es4 di pag. 69 – 74, 78, 81, - es. 2 di pag. 90 – 96, 101, 105, 111 … Dopo aver concluso la stesura del plot sul quaderno o sul file, prepararsi per l’interrogazione facendo un riassunto orale del PLOT e imparandolo a memoria.
