Macbeth is not entirely guilty - he did it, but


Statement - your idea that will support your thesis

Show that Macbeth was suffering from some mental illness/psychological problem stemming from stress that impaired his ability to discern the consequences of his actions. 

Get some quotation - look at the situation where he vacillates back and forth
Go for the dagger soliloquy

How did that situation above reveal that his stress was impairing his faculties? How did he lose something? What does he do that shows he’s not fully functioning? 

How does someone suffering from X behave? What is LIKE that? Refer to a similar case where the defendant got off

Because of the STRESS, etc, Macbeth 

SYLLOGISM - one side equals another side

str - grammar and sentence structure

wording - word choice, sentence structure, clarity of grammar - i.e. inverted sentence

awk - language choice and the use of weird phrasing that’s more conversational

me - conversational “you” 

ref? - you need to support your generality here - i.e. a quotation or a source 

Proof? - same
frag - sentence fragment - no subject and predicate


ns - not a sentence
