Concept vocabulary

With your group, discuss the words, and determine what the words have in
common. How do these word choices enhance the impact of the text?
Practice
notebook Use the concept vocabulary words in sentences. In each
sentence, provide context clues that hint at the word’s meaning.Word Study
Patterns of Word Changes Affixes usually perform one of two functions.
Some change a word’s meaning. For example, Brooks points out that
Macbeth seeks unambiguous answers from the Weird Sisters, whereas
Kermode emphasizes the ambiguous nature of their language. Adding the
prefix un- to ambiguous changes its meaning from “vague” to “certain.”
Other affixes change a word’s grammatical function. Brooks describes Lady
Macbeth’s “ruthless clarity of perception,” whereas Kermode discusses
how the future is “perceived from the present.” Adding the suffix -tion to
perceive changes the word from a verb to a noun without affecting its core
meaning, “to be aware of something using the senses.”
notebook Analyze four words from these essays. Choose two words in
which an affix changes meaning and two in which it changes part of speech.GROUP DISCUSSION
When discussing literary
criticism, be sure to
distinguish between the
critic’s analysis and the
original text the critic is
discussing. You will probably
want to refer to each critic’s
views, as well as specific
lines from The Tragedy of
Macbeth, while you discuss
these essays. STANDArDS

Possible responses:- Kermode suggests that the introductory
incantation is the first of many paradoxes in the
play. I agree: “Fair is foul” sets up one of the
play’s themes. - Responses will vary.
- We are always reacting to what has already
happened (including prophesies) and anticipating
what will happen (such as becoming king).
