Macbeth Literary Analysis 1

• Evidence and Analysis
• Thorough and convincing evidence and explanation
  (elaboration) for main idea
• Effective use of sources, facts, details
• Precise citations (tag lines)
• Variety quotes, definitions, examples
• Academic and domain-specific vocabulary
• Various sentence structures

17
Evidence and Elaboration

• Example
• In Act I Scene I of Macbeth, the background music
  truly helps convey the ominous tone. Immediately
  after the three witches finished burying the
  severed hand and dagger you hear a pulsing
  drumbeat, similar to a heart beat. It gradually
  speeds up, creating a sense of suspense, danger,
  and fear because it reminds you of the sensation
  of an increasing heartbeat and the surge of
  adrenaline that you get when frightened.

18
Evidence and Elaboration

• Example
• Lady Macbeth is a significant character who
  possesses many faces. To emphasize her emotions
  Polanski adds music whilst major scenes are
  taking place. When Lady Macbeth prays for the
  evil spirits to unsex her and give her
  strength, soft music is played in the background
  to bring attention upon her determined face to
  illustrate those very emotions not only with
  words but with instruments as well. With music
  involved, the characters expressions can be seen
  at a different point of view that generates more
  meaning within the play itself.
