Activity 5.5.1 – Act 3 Scenes 5 and 6
Make a submission
Now before you begin carefully reading Act 3 Scene 6, please read the note on page 127 that says, “Lennox speaks sarcastically throughout ... he thinks Macbeth is guilty of the murders.”
Sarcasm is closely related to Verbal Irony (recall the poem about the teacher’s answer to the absent student who asks, “Did I miss anything?”)
Now carefully read Scene 6 – read a few of Shakespeare’s lines, then the paraphrased version – going back and forth to better understand Shakespeare verse writing
When you have completed the reading: This scene contains three foreshadowings of events to come. Number and describe what they are in complete sentences.
