Recognizing the limited number of voices involved in the CD, the program does provide a broad examination of Macbeth . For those with personal interests in Shakespeare, the CD-ROM offers a new format for exploring the text. In an individual setting, this particular CD-ROM could allow students to explore Macbeth at their own rate, using a learning style which best suits the individual. The text for The Tragedy of Macbeth is broken down into the five acts and then further into individual scenes. The student simply clicks on the scene he or she wishes to study.
Students can also find specific lines in the play without having to scan the entire work.
While looking at the text, the students can read the work or follow along while listening to an audio recording. For some of the key scenes, the students can watch a video clip from different movies. These opportunities allow students to look at the text and learn with whichever style best adapts to their individual abilities. There are a few drawbacks concerning the audio and visual readings of the text. They do not follow the written text line for line.
