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
