Macbeth Word Trace

This is what we will work on in class today and Friday.

Choose a word: good, blood/bloody, time, say, fear, hand(s), great, see, sleep, man, thought, look, eyes, heart, night, death, live, nature, love, etc.

Use a concordance (http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/concordance/) to find every instance in which the word is used in Macbeth. Choose 10-12 instances in which the word is used. Go back to the play and reread those scenes.

  Analyze the word in context. How does the use of the word connect to the themes of the play? What is being communicated?
