    Answer the following:
    • the speaker and the one spoken to (could be himself/herself) 
    • the context (what was happening at this point in the play)  
    • Analyze this passage from the New Historicist perspective. (Hint: Why would Shakespeare emphasize that the King is good in this play?)

    This is spoken by Macbeth to himself while he is contemplating if he should kill King Duncan or not. Shakespeare emphasizes that the King is good so that when Macbeth kills him, it is seen as more extreme. It shows that he is hungry enough for power to kill the good, innocent king Shakespeare set up in this play. Power controls Macbeth in that he does anything he needs to do to sustain it.

But the historicist conception of power is different; rather than being a top down affair that originates from a specific place or individual, power comes from all around us , it permeates us, and influences us in many subtle and different ways.]]> 2018-03-19 18:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cbachman4/li6eqccbisvw/wish/243701816 Person 1: Write 3 Main Points about New Historicism cbachman4 https://padlet.com/cbachman4/li6eqccbisvw/wish/243701817 1) Provides additional knowledge using history.          2) Allows more meaning to be extracted from a piece of work. 3) Allusions can be made to previous and current events.
