“Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair“: Shakespeare’s 'Macbeth' and
Tarrantino’s 'Pulp Fiction' or
"It was dead good. It was like a thriller" and "... it
was a dead excitin' story. [...] It's fun, tragedy, isn't it." (Rita about
Macbeth, cf. 'Educating Rita' scene

Regulations for papers and talks (changes to printed version in
red)
1. Students ought
to write approx. one page of text for their talks.
2. A word processor has to be used
for this.
3. This paper should
include a summary and an interpretation of the scene(s).
4. The interpretation
should not only repeat the annotations from the book, but concentrate on the
development of the drama and answer questions like: Is there a development?
Do new characters appear? What is the function of the characters for the drama?
Is there 'typical' male/female behaviour? (Remember what we said about gender
roles in class 12.) Does the weather play a role in your scene? Can the motto
of the drama ("Fair is foul, foul is fair") be found in your scene?
Do the witches play a role in your scene? Does 'madness' play a role in your
scene? Are there 'tragic' elements in your scene? If you do not know what 'tragedy'
means, check here...
Do the characters change or are they 'stereotypes'? Are there conflicts?
The 'main idea' has to become clear! As
usual, all your findings have to be backed up with quotations from the text.
5. A 'good' interpretation does not only look at the one scene, but at the function
of the scene for the drama: Why is
there a new scene/a new act? What is new in this scene? The structure of the
drama has to become clear!
6. During your talk
in class (approx. 10 minutes) the paper must not be used but keywords.
7. After the talks
we shall watch a BBC production of Macbeth. The 'lecturers' will get a chance
to explain in how far the actors have interpreted the drama 'correctly'.
8. Hand in your paper so that it can be marked.
9 . Mail the corrected version of the paper and a Teachmaster file of the important
words to english(a)vermessungsseiten.de (The character (a) is used to avoid
spamming. Use @ instead.)
10. There will be
a discount of points (25 %) for mails that arrive later than the third Sunday
after your talk.
11. There will be
an 'overview test' on Macbeth.
12. Ask me, i.e. e-mail me at english(a)vermessungsseiten.de
whenever you
have a question.
