During our first session we worked on developing a thesis statement and composing a paragraph that addressed how imagery evokes the mood of Act II and the symbolic meaning of the imagery.I discussed how to form a sentence that captures all of the question by addressing the terms imagery, mood and symbolism. After Nina composed her first draft, we discussed how her well developed textual examples of imagery also suggest the use of the"pathetic fallacy" and how to incorporate that additional literary device into her paragraph. After we explored the symbolism of the imagery, Nina supplemented her essay to discuss the parallels between the forboding dark imagery and Macbeth's moral decay. During the second session, we studied the first two scenes of Act III. As Nina needed assistance with the abundance of metaphorical language, we parsed a number of passages and I explained the meaning of the passages. Last, we considered again whether the tragedy of Macbeth is a tragedy of Fate/Fortune or hamartia in light of Macbeth's calling on "FATE" to aid him in his plot to murder Banquo. Nina discussed the pervasive role of the supernatural in the play opining that the play would be better constructed without the repeated witchcraft.
