The Katakata Macbeth app contains lists of all the words you will need to write powerful, precise essays about Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ at GCSE or A-Level!
This app will help you to find the words that are on the tip of your tongue but that you might forget to include. It will also help you to find words you wouldn’t normally use but which will help you communicate effectively.
Each word is organised by character, theme or idea, and each word comes with a definition, an example Katakata sentence, and sentence fragments that you can use to build your own amazing sentences.
Impress your teachers and examiners, and, more than anything, impress yourself with your sophisticated, mature vocabulary.
KEY FEATURES
- 400 words (from important basic words like ‘parent’ or ‘hope’ through to challenging words like ‘indeterminacy’ and ‘empiricism’)
- Nearly 2000 different example Katakata sentences, tailored to different characters (e.g. ‘Lady Macbeth’s greatest offence is the overturning of the natural order, as symbolised by the cannibalistic horses.’)
- sentence fragments for every word and phrase to help you build your own sentences e.g.
…the proper order of society…
…the established order of society…
…the natural order of Scotland…
…the normal human order…
…imposes/restores order by…
…the established order…
