Just me who found the ACC section so hard because of how little the Cratchit family actually come up. Macbeth was pretty good considering you could link lots of areas together with the false truths of the witches and the ways in which they achieve their ambitions?????

for macbeth i wrote:
ambition is an illness macbeth does not acquire as he is "too full o'th milk of human kindness
ironically L macbeth driven into madness from "illness" when sleepwalking because of guilt, which is a flaw in her character
women and men are equally ambitious but is more accepted with men, L macbeth goes against the typical shakespearean woman
banquo and macbeth are both ambitious but banquo does not act upon it
macbeth was not naturally evil but because of "vaulting ambition" he became a "butcher"
because of this he loses respect and integrity from thanes, affects natural order of bloodline with blood and ambition goes against divine right of kings

I then bulletpointed points i was going to write about, frankenstein i kind of repeated the same point about how monster is not evil but has evil qualities

Did you write about the supernatural with lady Macbeth

Soliloquy

Frankenstein was all right if u learnt the religious allegories, such as society being Adam and Eve and the temptation being prejudice. Thus, if the monster allegorises women- Shelley says how treatment of women is evil, so fro that, we become evil

i wrote how monster said he was "thy adam" and fallen angel which are allusions to the book of genesis that adam was banished from the garden of eden, similarly how monster is rejected from society

That was what I wanted to write but ran out of time, but that's excellent. Did you link society to Adam and Eve and the temptation as prejudice?

Yh same-

I also talked about marriage' ' I will be with you on your wedding night' and as christians believe god ISO important as couple are 'one flesh' monster disrupts this and god and is evil

And the quote 'as divine a retreat as pandaemonium appeared to the demons of hell' if you research that

Did anyone talk about the ending scene with Macbeth ambition to continue fighting despite his losses "why shall I die the roman fool and at my own sword" as it was roman tradition to commit suicide as an honourable death however Shakespeare gives him a chance to redeem himself and allows him to have an honorouble death where he dies fighting so the audience would seen him as a tragic hero than a villain. Overall reinforcing the genre of the play being a tradegy.

Also how else went crazy with the context and began including it everywhere necessary!!! 😄😄 :smile:

My Macbeth points

- lady Macbeth ambitious 'spirits' link to supernatural
Contrast to end 'the thane of fife had a wife' half rhyme half as powerful so she's got half the connection to the supernatural
And so ambition doesn't last

And supernatural are actually Macbeth mind

Macbeth points

Lady Macbeth said how he's too full of the 'MILK' which is a divine colour
Contrast to the blood - red and so devilish
Fall of his goo- like biblical fall

+ lady ms soliloquy- her power- yet female power led to shot- so Shakespeare says- maintain patriarchy

?? Hopefully no one write that- it felt good
