We have just completed Shakespeare’s Macbeth. We discussed the roles of the characters and how their greed and selfish ambitions led to their fate. One major project we tackled was a debate on the role of a husband and wife. We learned how Lady Macbeth sought after a title and how she pushed and antagonized her husband to kill those who were heir to the throne. As we explored the marriage relationship of Macbeth & Lady Macbeth, we discussed whether their marriage was led by the wife or the husband. We then brought in biblical and modern day perspectives on marriage; the conversations and discussions were great. The greatest part of this unit is the fact that we turned our classroom into a cooperative learning environment.
