We know why you feel pretty nervous because of your research paper on “Macbeth”. You have heard that even those who are really into Shakespeare’s plays sometimes write failing research papers on “Macbeth”.
 
In fact, we know why this happens. The thing is that many students think they do understand what “Macbeth” is all about. Yet, when it comes to writing “Macbeth” research papers, it turns out that they do not.
 
So, if you have read the play from the beginning till the end and participated in class discussions, it does not mean that your “Macbeth” research paper will be outstanding.
 
Confused? We can help you figure out everything. First, do the following:

1. Before you get down to writing the research paper on “Macbeth”, make a list of all characters of the play.
2. Describe each character briefly; think of his/her main characteristics.
3. Make sure you know what the character was like at the beginning of the play and what changes he/she underwent.
4. Finally, think what character you would like to focus on in your research paper on “Macbeth”.

Or, decide on two characters to compare.
 
If you succeed with these simple steps, you are almost ready to write a good “Macbeth” research paper. What you should do now is decide on the main idea of your project. Here are several sample topics for research papers on “Macbeth”:

• Describe relations between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
• Why Duncan is a better king than Macbeth?
• Explain the role of various visions and hallucinations that Macbeth had.
• Compare and contrast such characters as Macbeth, Banquo, and Macduff.
