A Summary of Macbeth Act II Scene 3&4
202930
A summary of both scenes should be around 2 paragraphs, 1 paragraph per scene.  Have around 5-6 sentences per scene, having 6-10 sentences for each scene all in one paragraph (for a min. of 12 sentences and a max of 20) is way too long for a paragraph and a summary.

I'm not going to tell you what to write, because that would be cheating, but I can give you ideas.\nSomething I always saw as good was how Shakespeare would begin some of his plays.  Basically telling the audience what was going to happen, in case they got too distracted to finish watching.\nSince you know the characters begin with one of them and relate all the other characters through them.  {Jem was the son of Atticus, who defended Tom in the rape trial, just with a little more detail}\nHope this helps! :)

Othello greets them and remains calm, trying to appear friendly. Brabantio calls Othello a ‘foul thief’ and threatens to send him to prison. Othello explains with perfect courtesy and dignity that he cannot allow himself to be taken to prison, since he has been called to the council hall. When the old Senator realizes that the Duke has called a meeting, he goes at once to present his case against his daughter’s husband.

1. Conflict shown between Montagues and Capulets.  The Price of Padua bans all fighting.  Romeo crashes a Capulet party, sees Juliet, and forgets all about some other woman he was in love with before.  Later he climbs up on Juliet's balcony and finds out she loves him back.  They kiss.\n\n2. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married and find a willing priest to marry them.  Romeo and Tybalt (Juliet's brother) get into an argument and Mercutio (Romeo's friend) gets in the way.  Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo kills Tybalt.  Juliet hears of this news and is upset.  Romeo is banished by the Prince and must flee Padua.\n\n3.  In order to flee Padua to be with Romeo (now her husband) Juliet takes poison to feign death.  Juliet's nurse is supposed to tell Romeo but she is harassed by Romeo's friends, gets angry, and doesn't give anyone the message.  Romeo thinks Juliet is really dead, visits her crypt, takes some poison, and drinks.  He dies.  Juliet wakes up, sees Romeo dead, takes his dagger, and kills herself.  Everyone else find them lying together and is very sorry.\n\nUpdate:  Both the Montagues and the Capulets are rival noble families in Padua (Italy).  They are not of different social classes, they're just mad at each other.

Magwitch is a convict who escapes from a prison ship (hulk) near the marshes where Pip lives. They come across each other at a nearby cemetery, and Magwitch threatens Pip to get him food and a file so he can break off his handcuffs(but all this must be done in secret so not to reveal where Magwitch has escpaed to). When Pip returns with Magwitch has asked for, it touches him. A few days pass and guards from the hulks come to Pip's uncle, Joe the blacksmith, to fix some of their handcuffs so  they can capture some escaped convicts. Joe asks the guards if they would mind if him and Pip went with them to see (he thinks it is a treat for Pip. Though secretly Pip is terrified that they will find out that he helped Magwitch, but he goes along regardless). They find and arrest the convict, who Pip's suprise, does not reveal how he got the file and food. Years pass, and Pip grows up wealthy because of an secret benefactor who pays for him becoming a gentleman. On his 21st birthday, Pip is astonished to find out that his benefactor is indeed the convict on marshes so long ago (he had thought it was a wealthy lady named miss havisham who always acted as though she was his benefactor). With help from his friend Herbert, Pip sucessfully hides the convict (if discovered death by hanging would be the punishment). Pip later however learns that the conman(Compeysenson) who got Magwitch arrested in the first place, is in London looking for him. Magwitch still remains sucessfully hidden and Pip decides that it is best that Magwitch be taken out of the country (first by rowboat, then he would be smuggled into a bigger ship). They do this and everything goes well, but just as Magwitch is about to get on the bigger ship, Compeysen shows up in with the police in a rowboat and points him out. They bring magwitch back to their boat to arrest them, but once they get there Magwitch pushes Compeysen under the water and the two wrestle. Magwitch is the only one to return from beneath the surface, and is taken away to a prison where he spends the rest of his life. Pip vists him everyday and tells him about his daughter, Estella (who was beleieved to be dead because of her violent mother (magwitch's ex-wife)) is actually alive and living with the wealthy Miss Havisham. Magwitch does not live much more after this and dies due to illness.\n\n*Hope this helped!*

MacBeth gets more blood thirsty and wants to take control of that village place.  Lady Macbeth starts to get even more worse than her husband and she gets all delusional.

Juliet's long soliloquy before she drinks the potion focuses on her fears.  She at first calls the nurse, then changes her mind, realizing that she must act alone.  At first she fears that the potion won't work at all and lays a dagger beside her in case it doesn't.  She then fears that Friar Laurence may have lied, and really plans to kill her in order to avoid being punished for performing their marriage. \n\nAfter deciding that the Friar is honest and trustworthy, Juliet fears that she will wake up before Romeo arrives.  This prospect frightens her the most.  She fears strangling to death for lack of air, and then thinks about being in the vault with the bones of her ancestors, including Tybalt's recently dead body.  In horrible images, she imagines herself playing with the bones of her dead relatives and even smashing her own brains out with one of the bones.  As she imagines Tybalt's ghost seeking out Romeo, his murderer, she drinks the potion as a toast to Romeo.\n\nEven though Juliet's worst fear is that she will wake up too soon, it is ironic that this is the one thing that could have saved both their lives.\n\nJuliet is tragically alone in this scene, expressing her deepest fears in total isolation.  She shows her bravery as proof of her intense love for Romeo. In fact, it is her love for him which allows her to overcome her worst fears.

Fabian, another friend of Sir Toby’s, explains the details of the prank, adding that Sir Toby and Maria have gotten married. Malvolio storms off, vowing revenge.

Ok, I will help - but I will not give you the answers, that's not help.  If the Shakespearean-era language is difficult to get through, I suggest checking out a noted version of the play (Penguin Publishing has some excellent, quite affordable paperback versions) to help you understand who's saying what.  You might also try to find a full production of the play or a video version. (Zeffirelli's is visually stunning, but leaves out a lot of the by-play.  The newer version with DiCaprio & what's-her-name is visually odd, but leaves in more of the dialogue.  Most libraries also will have the odd BBC or Canadian production in their media library, and these are usually complete dialogue without anything too extreme in the way of visuals.)\n\n1. Think about social conventions of the time - Juliet is a young, unmarried but highly marriageable woman.  Also, think about any parents' natural reaction if they were to find their daughter in the company of any young man - especially if that young man was a member of a family you hated.\n\n2 & 4 are very closely related.  Think about modern divorce rates in marriages that are made quickly - then think about a society where annulments were possible but difficult and divorce as such was not really an option.\n\n3. Reread the scene, and think about Juliet being a young woman besotted, while the nurse is somewhat of a doddering old lady who tends to ramble on and on and on (and some of her lines do amount to Elizabethan toilet humour, by the way).\n\n5.  Think about the purpose of a foil.  Mercutio & Nurse are both close to the main characters, and marginally involved/possibly condoning their behaviours.  Pick out a few key points in the act and you should have no trouble getting 8 to 10 sentences.  For example, do these characters encourage this lovelorn behaviour between the main characters? How? Why?\n\nPersonal sidenote/pet peeve about this play: Why does everyone perform the Queen Mab speech as though it's a huge dramatic foreshadowing?  It is, even the densest people grasp that after seeing the play once - but keep in mind Mercutio's playful, sarcastic character - why on earth would he of a sudden burst into this long prophetic rant?  I've gotten a few people to read it as a mocking, sarcastic sort of monologue, and have been far more pleased with it...

It doesn't introduce the climax, as most of that happens in Act IV with the MacDuff/Malcolm scene. It doesn't introduce important new characters, as pretty much everyone has been introduced already. It doesn't resolve the central conflicts, since that's what happens at the end.\n\nSo it's B, expose his mounting troubles.
