We completed Act III comprehension questions (literal meaning and interpretation of events or quotes) and discussed them as a class.
We discussed Act IV with a handout, summarizing the act.
Connections were made between Macbeth's temptations and reactions in Acts I-II and his swift descent into personal hysteria and tyranny.
Finally, we discussed the upcoming essay portion of the test--focusing on how Macbeth's private hysteria was, in part, instigated by the witches and comparing his reaction to the mass hysteria exhibited by the villagers in The Crucible when they "discovered" witches practicing amongst them.
