Act+IV

__Act IV Discussion Questions __ 1. Who do the witches mean when they say “//something wicked this way comes”//? What other characters in literature **could** be greeted by this title?

2. Considering all we know about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth so far, write your own witches' chant about the couple! Read the chant below from Act 4 Scene 1 out loud and hear its rhythm. Use the same rhythm (and maybe even a rhyme scheme) in your chant.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Cool it with baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good. (4 i 35-38).

3. Go to the Shakespeare Links! page on the left. Click on Shakespeare's head and watch the hip-hop Macbeth video (yes, I'm serious). Now, what song would you choose to be part of a Macbeth soundtrack? Why?
