Lesson outcome

I can explore Act 3, Scene 4 of ‘Macbeth’, with a focus on Macbeth’s fears and Lady Macbeth’s diminishing power.

Show transcript
Dramatically, Act 3, Scene 2 mirrors Act 1, Scene 5, with a murder being plotted. However, roles have been reversed and Macbeth seems to be in control in this scene. Both characters appear uneasy during this scene; power and status have not led to happiness. Mirroring Lady Macbeth's "unsex me here", Macbeth seems to want to rid himself of "his bond" with humanity.
