You must do 3 paragraphs with different points.<\/p>\n

*Relevant scenes to use*<\/font><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Your answer must focus on the extract (Act 1, Scene 5) and refer to \u2018elsewhere in the play\u2019.\n<\/div>\n
In the following scenes, Lady M is portrayed in a similar way to Act 1 Scene 5:\n<\/div>\n
Act 1 Scene 7 – Lady M uses different methods to try to persuade M to go through with her plan\n<\/div>\n
Act 2 Scene 2 – Lady M is angry with M for not planting the daggers on the servants\n<\/div>\n
In the following scenes, Lady M is portrayed quite differently:\n<\/div>\n
Act 2 Scene 3 – Lady M faints (or is this fake, in which case perhaps this scene shows her in a similar light to earlier scenes?)\n<\/div>\n
Act 5 Scene 1 – the sleepwalking scene; Lady M is clearly starting to become unstable\/feel guilty\/remorseful\n<\/div>\n
Other scenes featuring Lady M (probably not as useful for your assessment): Act 3 Scene 2, Act 3 Scene 4\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Choose evidence from at least 3 different scenes. To excel, you should choose evidence from multiple scenes but this doesn\u2019t mean you have to make a different point each time. For example, you could make a point about Lady M\u2019s character and support it with evidence from two different scenes in a PETAETAL paragraph.

Must use this format for the paragraphs
PETAETAL:
Point<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Evidence (Quote 1)
\n<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Technique and Analysis
\n<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Evidence (Quote 2)

Technique and Analysis
\n<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n

\n<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(PETAETAL is used when you are doing a comparative, analysis essay. When you are talking about two or more texts\/quotes then in one paragarph you need to talk about the texts\/quotes. Like in PETAL you are only discussing one text, PETAETAL discusses two. Reemeber P-point, E-evidence, T-technique, A-analysis and L-link. The ETA is repeated for the comparitive essay. YOU DO NOT REPEAT P and L. Remember you apply the PETAL and PETAETAL on ALL your BODY PARAGRAPHs.)<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n

\nExamples of point sentences:
\n<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
In this extract, Lady Macbeth is presented as\u2026\n<\/div>\n
Later in the play\/In Act x Scene y, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as\u2026\n<\/div>\n
This contrasts with her \u2026(instability\/fragility\/overwhelming guilt)… Later in the play, for example in\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Things to use for your link sentences *IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW*<\/b><\/u>:<\/span><\/div>\n
How would a Jacobean\/Shakespearean audience react to this portrayal of a woman? (Context)\n<\/div>\n
Does this contrast with the presentation of Lady Macbeth elsewhere in the play? Or is this characterisation consistent?\n<\/div>\n
Are we surprised by this portrayal of Lady Macbeth? (In the earlier scenes, by her masculinity\/dominance etc; in later scenes, by her loss of control\/ instability\/overwhelming guilt?
