  1. Macbeth Day 6 April 27 Agenda Warm up • Warm up • Subtext • Inflection review • 1.5 – subtext line People have different ideas about what is considered masculine and what is considered feminine. List 5 attributes or activities that you consider masculine and 5 that you consider feminine. Do you think that your list is pretty typical, or would it anger a lot of people? Explain your answer

What is it about femininity you think she is rejecting and why?
