Macbeth Final Thoughts.

Hi everyone:

Please use the comment section below to reflect on Shakespeare's Macbeth: what did the story leave you with and what do you think is most essential to understand about the story?  Use one of the quotations / motifs that you have tracked to support your ideas.  Can you choose a quotation (with an embedded motif) that gets to the heart of the play?  Explain its importance.

Comments are due on Tuesday April 15th.  Thanks, Mr. Telles.
