Aim: With respect to gender roles, how does Lady Macbeth ​demonstrate the theme of "Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair"?

Group Work: The “Come, you spirits” soliloquy is arguably Lady Macbeth’s most powerful lines in Macbeth.
Finalize any details on your own Tableau. 

Reflection:

Today we spend 25 minutes in class preparing with our groups so that we can present our tableau's to the rest of the class. Our groups had to decide on which lines everyone would say and remember the part that was assigned to us. We could use props in our tableau, and we had to recite the famous lines of Lady Macbeth during her powerful soliloquy "Come, you spirits". Through our presentation of tableau's I learned that a few lines of someone's feelings can tell you a lot about the character, and what their motives and next actions might be. Through our interpretations of Lady Macbeth's soliloquy, I can infer that she is asking spirits to fill her with the ambition and the will to kill King Duncan, and that she is asking the spirits to take the kindness and warmth of a woman from her. This is implying that back then in medieval times, women would represent all the good things like kindness, caring, and helpful, and they wouldn't be seen as people that would be able to imagine or act out acts of horrible deeds. I can use what I learned today by better interpreting what a character's motives might be in a story and understand how characters are developed and given an amazing backstory even if they aren't the main "heroes" of characters of the story.
