Macbeth Word Trace

1. Choose a word: good, blood/bloody, time, say, fear, hand(s), great, see, sleep, thought, look, eyes, heart, night, death, live, nature, love, etc.

2. Use a concordance (http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/concordance/)  to find every instance in which the word is used in Macbeth.  Reread those scenes.

3.  Analyze the word in context.  How does the use of the word connect to the themes of the play?  What is being communicated?
