Question #2: Gender: Forward or Backward? (Block A)

The idea of Gender and its stereotypical roles are a big part of the theme of the play. What do you believe Shakespeare's message is about gender? How do the characters reflect or not reflect your theme?  Is Shakespeare an advocate for gender equality or is he continuing the stereotype? Use mulitiple examples (both male and female) to support you idea.

Ambition: Good or Bad?? (Block A)

Ambition is a human trait that pushes us to achieve a goal. So the question remains is the trait of ambition a good trait or bad trait when looked at through the eyes of human society? Pick one side and defend your reasoning as to why ambition is either good or bad. Make sure to cite examples that are found in our society and the play of Macbeth to support your answer.

If you have a last name that goes from A-L you will argue that ambition is a good trait.
If you have a last name that goes from M-z you will argue that ambition is a bad trait.

Remember ladies and gentlemen, I am looking for a discussion!

Have fun!
