Macbeth Prediscussion Questions

Crossfire


Circle either agree or disagree for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers, and you will not be graded on which one you choose.

Agree/Disagree 1. Our fate is predetermined.

Agree/Disagree 2. It is natural for humans to strive for power.

Agree/Disagree 3. When in power, humans will do anything to maintain it.

Agree/Disagree 4. An accomplice is just as guilty as the person who commits a crime.

Agree/Disagree 5. If you kill, you should be killed in return (“an eye for an eye”).


Choose two of the above questions to discuss in writing. Explain why you chose the answer you did in 3-4 sentences. Please include examples to support your viewpoint. You will be using your explanations in small group and class discussions, so be specific!

4. I agree because the accomplice could do something to hinder the crime or even stop the person from doing it altogether. An example of this would be a getaway car driver just driving away so their partner will get caught.

1. I disagree because I believe that if you work hard enough at something, then you can change how your life is, even if it is only in some small little way. Having a different life changes the places you are at and the people you hang out with. This changes the fate of your life because you won't be or will be around some of those completely random events that are unexplainable and can happen at any time.
