Soliloquy – Macbeth, Act I

A soliloquy is a conversation with one’s self. In plays, it is sometimes directed at the audience. Usually lengthy, the character speaks their inner-most thoughts aloud. It is delivered by the character while on the stage alone.

At the beginning of Act I, scene vii, Macbeth vacillates between wanting to kill King Duncan and being content with remaining the Thane of Cawdor. His indecision ends with him deciding that he will not kill King Duncan. It’s not a lack of ambition, but a fear of retribution that keeps him from plotting against his king.

This activity involves creating your own soliloquy. Choose one of the situations below. Write at least 10 lines that show your own vacillation and indecision. Like Macbeth, weigh the consequences of each action. Part of the process will be to see the other viewpoint… put your self in the opposite position of your first reaction. Show indecision, but make a decision by the end.

The situations:

1. You are lost in a desert with your best friend. You are on the verge of death, when suddenly a man on a camel appears. He only has enough food for one of you, and you must make the choice of who gets the food since your friend is too weak to argue either way.

2. You’ve broken your mother’s favorite lamp, and she is due home any minute. You know your mother would ground you for two weeks if she found out. You also know your brother has been disciplined for throwing things around the house before, so if you blamed him, your mother would believe you. Do you blame him or take the blame yourself?

3. You’ve just been elected President of the Senior class, and you’ve shared the news with all of your friends and family. Later, while you are studying the results, you realize that someone made an error in counting the ballots and you actually lost the race by one vote. The person who actually won is someone whom you know would do a terrible job. Do you point out the error by telling the advisor or keep quiet?

We will be sharing our work.

To help you get started:

Choose a problem.

Make a decision.

List the pros and cons of your decision and the consequences.

PROS CONS CONSEQUENCES

Are you happy with your first decision? Make it final or change it.

Then… write!!!

Your grade will be applied to the writing component of your marking period grade. I will grade you in the following manner:

Did you choose a situation?

Do you clearly show vacillation between the two sides?

Do you clearly show the pros and cons of each side?

Is the writing itself clear and understandable?

Did you make a final decision?

The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act I

Identifying Character Traits

In the first act you were introduced to five key characters in the play. In the squares below, jot down a few phrases about each character. Put their names below the squares. Then draw lines between these characters and write a brief description of their relationship to each other.

The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act I

The Criminal Mind

When Shakespeare first shows us Macbeth, we see a hero, a man who would fight to the death for the king. Throughout Act I, Shakespeare gradually introduces the moral struggle developing in Macbeth’s mind. The evil side is threatening to overwhelm the good side by the end of the act. In each column below, write events, dialogue, or thoughts that reflect these changes in Macbeth in Act I.

The Good Macbeth Neutral/Ambiguous The Evil Macbeth

1. Do you think Macbeth would have changed if the witches had not appeared? Explain.

2. Do you think most people are as susceptible to temptation as Macbeth? Explain why or why not.

Macbeth Writing Project Choices

Projects (choose one writing AND one creative option)WRITING:

1. Rewrite a scene from the play in modern English. (Choose the scene wisely) min 2 pages – must

keep script format

2. Read about Captain Donwald and his wife in Holinshed’s Chronicles and compare and contrast

them to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. (250 words)

3. Research the life of Macbeth—the title character is a real Scottish historical figure. Report the

highlights of his life. (250 words)

4. Imagine you are a political reporter assigned to Macbeth’s castle. Write a news story about the

events that occurred the night Duncan was killed. Include in the first paragraph or two what

happened, and why it happened. Because you are writing a news story, do not include opinion

or information on events that were not public events, however, make sure to include the

strange happenings in nature. (150 words)

5. Research the life and assassination plot of King James I and report the highlights. (250 words)

INDIVIDUAL CREATIVE:

6. On fabric or paper, create a mural of the most significant events in the story. (7 scene

minimum)

7. Research life in Macbeth’s Scotland. Include such topics as housing, food, clothing, religion,

entertainment, social classes, politics, education, dating and marriage, and occupations. –

report back in a PowerPoint (print and bring for presentation)

8. Script a eulogy after Lady Macbeth’s death given by Macbeth.

9. Design a t-shirt that could be sold at the production of Macbeth. Include a quotation from the

play. Be sure to include the name of the play and the season in which it is playing.

GROUP CREATIVE (2-4 PEOPLE)

1. Create a board game based on the characters and plot of this play. The board game should

have pictures and/or words that represent places or happenings in the story. Be sure to

include detailed directions that explain how to play the game.

2. Present a news broadcast of a “special report” on the death of Duncan. Interview family

members and others involved in the event. If possible, dress in clothing reflective of that

time.

3. When people go to a stage production, they always receive a program. Create a program

for Macbeth that includes:

a. a cover

b. Two articles of general interest-restaurant reviews, fashion trends, news stories.

c. One article on the historical background of the play-globe theater, Shakespeare’s

life, life in London.

d. Act-by-act summaries (including songs if you choose a musical).

e. Several advertisements as fillers.

If you have other ideas, please “clear” them with me FIRST!!!!!!
