A challenging revision resource that asks students to think about how key historical events or ideas/themes might be help us to understand the context of Macbeth.  

The resource is in a table format and students are given an event or theme/idea, (e.g. strong beliefs about the after life) and they should then try to identify how this context is relevant to the play as a whole but also to specific acts and scenes.
