DAY 2 - CYCLE 6 - SEMESTER 2

Today, we watched the remainder of Act III of Macbeth. We saw two versions of the banquet scene.



and



There's another version that's quite different. Roman Polanki's shows the ghost and shifts the order of the lines dramatically. To good effect? You decide.



You should have a good understanding of Lennox's sarcasm in scene vi and know what Macduff has gone to do.

HOMEWORK
First, choose one of the following:
A. Design a costume for Macbeth in the banquet scene that captures the essence of his character and suggests what's going on in his mind. You may use design elements from ANY era. Give a written explanation for your choices (a few sentences will do). You may draw the costume or write up a description of it.
OR
B. Design a set for any scene in Act II that calls attention to the themes of that scene. You may use design elements from ANY era. You should explain in writing why your set is suitable to the play's themes (a few sentences will do). You may draw your set or provide a written description.

AND DO THE FOLLOWING
C. In writing, explain how YOU would direct the ghost sequence. How would you represent the ghost and why would you do it that way?
