  1. Visual Analysis Practice: You will have one visual analysis prompt on your test. As you practice below, you need to: • Explain what’s being portrayed visually • Identify the motif • Provide an example (clear, specific EXAMPLEdon’t bother witha piece of textual evidence) to illustrate what the image is conveying • Provide explanation of how your specific example from the text really does connect to the visual

  2. Motif: gender reversal • Connection to text (multiple examples) • Lady Macbeth in her “Unsex me here” speech in which she fears that Mac is too gentle-hearted to kill; so, she will have to orchestrate things • Mac unsure of whether or not he will kill Duncan, to which Lady M questions his manhood—even saying she’d sooner bash the brains of her own child than go back on a promise like Mac has made • Mac is upset after murder; won’t go back to place daggers with the guards so Lady M has to do it You’d want to explain how the characters above, by physically switching traditional gender-marked clothing, metaphorically exchange stereotypical male/female characteristics. Lady M takes on the aggressive role associated with ACTION, whereas Mac is the timid one in need of constant reassurance.
