Q4 Macbeth Film Analysis
As we conclude our work on Shakespeare's tragic play Macbeth, it's time to put our film analysis skills to work! For your final summative writing piece in this unit, you must write a one-page analysis of two different versions of the same scene from the play. This type of writing is called compare and contrast writing because you focus on the similarities and differences between the subjects of your writing. In this case, you will discuss how your chosen scenes are similar and how they are different. To help you complete your writing, use two of the videos embedded below.
