:banana: I need help deciding which pathway I'll take on my year 12 assessment
Options
1.
Present a monologue in the role of one of the minor characters in the play (e.g Lennox, one of the witched, a murderer), foregrounding some of the gaps and silences in the text. You would need to examine the impact of Macbeth’s use/misuse of power upon the chosen character.
2.
Adopt the role of one of the major characters in the play. Transport the character to a different location and time, and him/her in a speaking context which allows you to demonstrate a deep understanding of his/her motivation, particularly in relation to power.
3.
After Banquet scene (Act III, Scene 4), the audience does not see Lady Macbeth until Sleepwalking/talking scene (Act V, Scene 1) immediately prior to her death. In role, script and perform a monologue which displays her descent into madness.
What do you think would be best for an oral?
I was thinking about option 2 - having Macbeth spill everything at a rehab session?
