Macbeth Explored
About Macbeth.
First a warning. Actors consider it unlucky to say the name of the play in a theatre, often calling it "The Scottish Play" instead. Shakespeare is supposed to have used bits of real spells in the witches speeches which means the play is cursed. There are no reports of any GCSE English Literature students being affected by black magic though.
Shakespeare took the story of Macbeth from historical sources – some of the characters are based on real people in Scottish history. The play was probably written sometime between 1603 and 1607. It tells the tale of the violent struggle for the throne of Scotland.
Studying Shakespeare's Macbeth.
"Macbeth" is one of the most popular Shakespeare plays for GCSE English Literature. It covers themes of superstition, treachery and ambition. Common areas for coursework and exam questions include analysing the main characters' actions and speeches. For example, Lady Macbeth and her relationship with her husband is a popular topic.
Most GCSE English Literature students will have to consider how different directors have shown Macbeth on screen. This means watching film or TV adaptations. Additionally you may get to see a stage production of the play.
Shakespeare's Macbeth... What Can I Study Next?
If you've enjoyed "Macbeth", then taking an English Literature A Level should give you the opportunity to cover another of Shakespeare's plays. Most university courses in English literature will also involve studying Shakespeare.
If you've enjoyed the story and like Japanese films try "Throne of Blood" for a samurai version.
