The sleepwalking scene in Macbeth’ is hugely significant and important to the play as a whole. It is a contrast to the other main scenes involving Lady Macbeth and marks the end of Macbeth’s reign as a tyrant and a king.

This is also the scene of Hamlet’s famous soliloquy ‘To be or not to be”‚ whereby he is considering his life and what has been going on since his fathers death.

How does Rita and Franks Relationship change between Act one scene 1 and Act 2 scene 1?

DAGGER SCENE M acbeth is the only tragedy of Shakespeare in which the tragic hero turned villain but yet it retains the sympathy of the audience unto the very end.

As a result of Mauler’s blood sucking nature the laborers decide to call a strike. The sole purpose of the strike is to make sure that the workers are not fooled by false promises fed by those ruling
