While we read Macbeth, you may be confused by some of the language that Shakespeare uses. I highly suggest that you consult some of the free online resources listed below to aid your comprehension of the play.
Most of our work on Macbeth is in class, but please ensure that you are completing the study questions for each act on your own. (Remember that questions for the Macbeth exam will come from the study guides.) To help you finish the study guides, you may want to use the websites listed below.
Sparknotes' "No Fear Shakespeare": A side-by-side version of Macbeth. Shakespearean English on the left, normal contemporary English on the right.
Cliffsnotes' Macbeth Study Guides: Excellent summaries of each act and scene along with analysis.
