SOCRATIC SEMINAR QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
We are focusing on Act 1 level 1 questions/answers

Remember to write in present tense when you are
writing about literature. Literature is ALWAYS occurring
as one reads it, so it is present tense.
SOCRATIC SEMINAR QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
We are focusing on Act 1 level 1 questions/answers
You will need 3 level 1 questions with their answers
(along with textual evidence/line numbers).
Level 1 questions (refer to your house handout): • You can find the answer directly in the text. • You may not use this example:
• Question: What do the witches promise Banquo?
• Answer: They say that his children are going to be kings: “Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none” (1.3.68).
SOCRATIC SEMINAR QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
You will need two level 2 questions/answers
Level 2 question/answer example: Analyze Lady
Macbeth’s behavior when she receives Macbeth’s letter
telling her of the witches’ prophesy. • Answer: Lady Macbeth is claiming that they will need to
kill the king, but she doesn’t believe that Macbeth is “man enough” or essentially tough enough to kill the king. She claims, “Yet I do fear thou nature:/ It is too full o’ the’ milk of human kindness/ to catch the nearest way; thou wouldst be great,/ Art not without ambition, but without/the illness should attend it” (1.5.15-19).
SOCRATIC SEMINAR QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
You will need two level 3 questions/answers
Example question/answer: After finishing Act 1,
predict if Macbeth will go through with Duncan’s
murder. Why or why not? • Answer: Macbeth will go through with the murder
because of the guilt and methods which Lady Macbeth uses to persuade him. She considers him a coward and less of a man if he doesn’t follow through with the murder: “and live a coward in thine own esteem” (1.7.43).

questions/answers! We will walk around to answer
any questions/concerns you may have
