Book Reports / Macbeth Thesis - help with choosing the right quote [8]
Lets say I wanted to write my essay about Macbeth's greed for power.
I originally chose the first quote (ACT II, scene 1) because it was the easiest to understand (which isn't entirely a good reason).
My thesis was:
Shakespeare's Macbeth suggests greed can be the motivation to success, yet the fault that brings ones downfall as well.
My teacher's (woman) commented:
"So how does Macbeth react in the passage that demonstrates these two sides?"
Essentially, I need to elaborate more and go even more in-depth.
Only I don't know how.
How would I integrate the quote as my evidence/support??
Do I put bits of it into each body paragraph?
