Pre-reading+Macbeth

Here is a little warm-up for your new wiki groups:

1. Define the word **AMBITION**. Think about it for a few minutes before you begin writing. How does this word affect a person's behavior? What are other qualities might an ambitious person have? Discuss on the wiki and see what interesting conclusions you can draw.

2. Next, think about the list of topics we generated from the Madoff article. Then, read the list of main characters in //Macbeth// below. Can you make predictions about the plot based on the tendencies we discussed last class?

Duncan King of Scotland Macbeth Thane of Glamis/General in the King’s army Lady Macbeth Macbeth’s wife Malcolm King’s son/heir to the throne Donalbain King’s son/heir to the throne Macduff Nobleman of Scotland
