Hi,
It is just homework, however, a lot of it will be useful in your essay. The essay question will be looking at a flawed character and who is to blame for his downfall / change. ;D

Hi,
You should aim to structure it like anyother essay.
Introduction
Title Dramatist What is the play about? in terms of themes not plot telling. What is your intention and how you will answer your question.
Remember the question is to examine how the character of Macbeth has changed throughout the course of the play.
Then the main bulk of your homework is to highlight the key points in his transformation from a loyal servant of the King to a murderous tyrant.
Each point should be in a paragraph with a topic sentence, a quotation and analysis and then finish your homework with a conclusion.

Hi,
Greed, jealousy, ambition are key themes. If you look at the previous paragraph outline it will help. ;D
