Macbeth Thematic Questions 
  • What happens when a person is expected to be violent, in a violent world? 
  • What do you do if the most important person in your life rails at you to murder a family member to gain power and respect? 
  • Does violence yield real power, or does it breed fear and paranoia? 
  • Can you find redemption for your most horrid sins, or will their memories haunt your days and shatter your nights? 
  • When you commit evil, is Hell in the afterlife, or in this one?
  • How does Shakespeare use supernatural elements to express psychological reality for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in this play?
