These are the themes that we decided, as a class, were the key themes in the play:
Guilt (Remorse)
Manipulation
Supernatural
Appearance vs Reality ("Fair is foul and foul is fair")
Masculinity and Femininity
Power
Jealousy
The natural order (and disruption of this order)
Ambition
Hierarchy
Love
The suggestion was that you should be able to go through each theme and explain why you know it is a key theme. In other words, explain how Shakespeare positions you to see this theme.
You should try to include at least one quotation as evidence. At the very least, you should be able to mention a character or event to support your stance.
