Scene Explication
Choosing a passage of approximately 20 lines from Shakespeare’s Macbeth (it may be a monologue, soliloquy or a portion of dialogue). First consider what is happening here, in the context of the larger play. Then analyze the selection line by line (explicate). Look closely at the form and effect of the language: rhyme scheme, irregular word order (syntax), alliteration, assonance, repetition, etc. As for meaning, consider allusions, archaic words, double entendres, personification, apostrophe, metaphors, etc. Link to Macbeth –> https://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org/html/Mac.html
