We took a quiz on act II
We looked at the first 1/2 of the excellent PBS documentary from last year on Ethan Hawke and his journey preparing to play the part of Macbeth.

For Nick, here is the Patrick Stewart version. Not my fav, but some neat interpretations of the witches. This can be watched free here:

We looked at the climax of the play- the start of act 3, where Macbeth is King. It gets dark after this....
I assigned the Macbeth lines. Please learn these for next Friday:
Macbeth:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
