These are not intended as required blog prompts, although they may overlap with things you choose to write about. We will talk about and play with them on Tuesday, however, so think about them beforehand.
1. How might a director present the Weird Sisters so as to make them more than Halloween/Disney stereotypes? What could actors do that would be less cartoonish?
2. How do you think Shakespeare's audience would have reacted to the Weird Sisters? (Think: historical context!)
3. Scene 2 is largely exposition: the who, what, when, where, how and why of the plot. What impression do we get of Macbeth in this scene? Where in particular?
4. How does the language and concept of "Fair is foul" magnify and deepen in the first act?
