William Shakespeare (often called “the bard”meaning poet) was an English playwright, poetand actor. His exact birth-date is unknown, buthe was baptized on 26th April 1564, and he diedin 1616 (age 52). He married Anne Hathaway andhad 3 children,

More about THE PLAYMacbeth, rst performed in 1606, is oneof Shakespeare’s most famous, and mostperformed tragedy, The story is based on a reallife Scottish king, who became king in 1040.

In Shakespeare’s version, Macbeth, guided byprophesies from three witches, is driven byambition to become king and undertakes darkdeeds to make it happen. The play is a dark one:filled with themes which center around notions

of fate, power, ambition, and guilt. Thevery opening scene involves witches,which sets the eerie, mystical tone of the

ensuing action.

Often regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time, Shakespeare wrote37 plays and 154 sonnets. Indeed, Shakespeare lives on through hismany plays and poems which are taught, read and performedaround the world today. However, he also lives on through thethousands of words he invented, and we still use daily.

CURSE V

Interestingly, The Scottish P114’ and fhe Bard’s Play areeuphemisms (alternative, indirect terms used to avoid the real

V title) for Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is because, accordingto a superstitions in the world of actors, the play is cursed, andspeaking the name Macbeth inside a theatre will cause disaster!

The origin of this superstition is not entirely clear: some say thatShakespeare used an actual witch’s spell in the play, and thenwitches who saw the play were so angry that theyplaced a curse on all future productions of thedrama. Another rumor is that Shakespearehimself cursed the play once King James I forbidit to be performed again.

MESSENGER: The king comes here to-night.

LADY MACBETH: Ihou’rt mad to say it:Is not thy master with him? who, were’t so,Would have intorm’d for preparation.

MESSENGER: So please you, it is true: our thane is coming:One of my fellows had the speed of him,Who, almost dead for breath, had scarcely moreThan would make up his message.

LADY MACBETH: Give him tending;He brings great news.

The raven himself is hoarseThat croaks the fatal entrance of DuncanUnder my battlements. Come, you spiritsThat tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,And fill me from the crown to the toe top-fullOf direst cruelty! make thick my blood;Stop up the access and passage to remorse,That no compunctious visitings of natureShake my fell purpose, nor keep peace betweenThe effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts,And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,Wherever in your sightless substancesYou wait on nature’s mischief! Come, thick night,And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,To cry ‘Hold, hold!’

She should have died hereafter.

There would have been a time for such a word.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Learning to write thoughtful, detailed, specific theme sentences is a key part of

_____

studying a literary work, and will serve as the basis for analytical essay answer&I

- • The theme of a literary work is the author’scentral message about a topic or subject;it should be expressed in a sentence, andbe a general statement about life, humannature, or the human experience.

NJ JJftJJjA THEME STATEMENTzIdentify the TOPIC: This can be in a single word which the literary work deals with: usuallysomething abstract (love, hate, ambition, power, prejudice etc.).

Decide what IDEA the author is conveying about the topic: This might take some thinking,A discussing, and researching. Essentially this is where your own thoughts and analysis come in.

I Express the theme in a full SENTENCE: Now you draff your theme sentence by writing outclearly what the essential message is that the author is conveying: this should be a universal point(not tied to the specific characters and events of the text).

EDIT your theme sentence: You may need to draft, re-draft, and edit your sentence to make it asdetailed, clear, and accurate as possible.

Ask yourself what arc the cpnfllctsfaced by the chatacters Any innerbattles?

First establish is the topic (e.g.prejudice) positive or negahve Thenanswer the question: why?

To start with complete this format:‘$hakcspeare presents the ideathat. (topic... is... (opinion)becaUse,fanaIysis)

Maybe even ask a hiend to read itaead it out loud Try to get nd of anyunnecessary words.

Write theme statements for each of the following topics:

AMBITION:

GUILT:

FATE:

APPEARANCE & REALITY:

fi I I

Theme cannot be expressed in a single word:that would be a subject or topic. In Macbeth,ambition, leadership, fate, guilt etc., are all topics.The theme would be the answer to the question:what is Shakespeare saying about these topics?
