Works of literature often depict acts of betrayal. Friends and even family may betray a protagonist; main characters may likewise be guilty of treachery or may betray their own values. Consider acts of betrayal that occur in Macbeth. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the nature of the betrayal and show how it contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole
A recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict with moral duty. Consider a character who confronts the demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities in The Tragedy of Macbeth. In a well written essay, show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significance to the work.
Select a moment or scene in The Tragedy of Macbeth that you find especially memorable. Write an essay in which you identify the line or the passage, explain its relationship to the work in which it is found, and analyze the reasons for its effectiveness.
