It's a really involved question.

And I have to take my hat off to those who choose the text because they're vibrant and they are modern.

Macbeth.

Is this a dagger I see before me?

It's still going strong and it's still fantastic.

It is for the vast majority of the students out there.

They're single tech.

So you need to talk tragedy and be in the world of tragedy.

And there will be two questions on that.

There will be a language question.

imagery type question there will be a character type question but don't go in separating them go in to be able to do either of them because who develops character only theme and language who delivers language only character so

You have to interlink all of them.

So I think a really good Macbeth question will have language, some theme and character in it.

It is to be saturated with quotation and reference.

You need to talk acts and scenes and you need to talk quotation.

The single text by its definition is singularly know it inside out.

Right.

But it's still going strong, still holds water for everything to do with kingship, ambition.

The amazing character of Lady Macbeth, the anachronistic character of Lady Macbeth.

She's a powerful force.
