Macbeth Word Tracing Essay


You have been tracing your word throughout the entire play. For this assignment, you will need to turn in your word tracking notes (a list of the places the word was mentioned) as well as the essay.  For your essay question, you are to frame a thesis in which you discuss the progression of the play through the lens of or perspective of your key word. In other words, how does “blood” shape the play? How does the use of “night “ change over the context of the play? How does the meaning of “sleep” change depending on who is using it? (Those are all just ideas. This is all completely on you and it is very likely that no two essays will look at all the same.) Come up with a valid thesis, then write a solid essay in which you back that thesis using textual evidence. DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE PLOT. I’m so excited to read these! This is due TUESDAY.
