Perfect Quote Revision Cards
1 of a series of 6 for Macbeth.
Knowing which quotes to remember is useful.
Learning how to analyse that quote is the key to top grade understanding.
Having it all on one revision card gives you a fighting chance of remembering it for the exam.
Having ‘dual coding’ - images that fit perfectly with what you want to remember, is the trick to remembering it in the exam.
These revision cards have an added superpower. Look again at the pictures:
What does the snake remind you of?
“We have scorched the snake, not killed it” says Macbeth when Fleance has escaped and he continues on his killing spree.
Or how about “Look like th’ innocent flower, But be the serpent under ’t” when Shakespeare links Lady Macbeth to Satan and Original Sin.
What does the mirror remind you of?
“There’s no art / To find the mind’s construction in the face,” which reminds us that Macbeth is inherently evil.
Or the mirror that the apparitions hold up to show all of Banquo’s ancestors replacing Macbeth until ‘the crack of doom’. “A show of eight kings appear, and pass over in order, the last with a glass in his hand; Banquo following.”
What does the brain remind you of?
“O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!” When Lady Macbeth encourages Macbeth to kill Banquo.
Or Macbeth’s hallucination: “A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?”
That’s the superpower of these revision cards - not just beautiful, but magical. You’ll never believe the price.
