Example: Macbeth—POWER, CORRUPTION, AND LEADERSIP

Upon hearing Malcolm will become king after Duncan, Macbeth struggles with the concept of becoming king. He tells Duncan to his face he is honored to be fighting for him; however, internally he is realizing that in order to become king Macbeth will need to get rid of both Duncan and Malcolm.

This shows Macbeth’s desire for power and leadership which leads him down a path of corruption because he feels compelled to act on what the witches told him.

REPEAT 4 MORE TIMES FOR EACH TEXT—YOU MAY USE QUOTES BUT REMEMBER YOU NEED TO KNOW THEM FOR THE EXAM

Each group will share 3-5 pieces of evidence for their text
