Assignment #4: Reflection

During this interactive plog unit on Macbeth, our group was able to explore many different aspects of the play. By doing various activities in groups, we were able to discuss ideas and expand on our knowledge not just with the play of Macbeth, and the genre of tragedy, but the other historical and contextual details that encompassed it.

We enjoyed learning about the background on which Macbeth was based, as this made the storyline and the treatment of characters seem more complex and fascinating. Being able to interact with other groups and reading their opinions on The Tragedy of Macbeth, we were able to make connections between different aspects of the play and understand them in a fun and interactive manner. It was also enjoyable to be able to read the responses of the other groups. Furthermore, this unit has allowed us to improve our style of writing, and develop and focus our opinions through new ideas.

It was very beneficial to be able to see many film versions of Macbeth, and how different directors interpreted both embedded and regular stage directions. Furthermore, we were able to compare the use of language, character and emotion between both film and print versions of Macbeth.

This project was a very creative and fun approach to looking at a Shakespearean tragedy. It made it much easier to understand, interpret and appreciate the text. We had a great time learning about Macbeth.
