Macbeth Act IV questions

Here are the questions we worked on today.  They appear in a slightly different order than they appear in the book.

What is a traitor?  

For Macbeth, Macduff is a traitor.  But whether someone is a “traitor” or a “freedom fighter” depends on who is using the label.  Who would you call a “traitor” in the play?  Why?  Be specific.

How many children had Lady Macbeth?  

Some productions have made “children” a central concept in the play. What is your view?  Does it matter, in the play, whether Lady Macbeth has had children or not?

Different views of the witches.  

How would you present them on stage?
