Here are some example paragraphs. This is taking a little longer than I anticipated but, rest assured, we will not begin the CA if you are not totally prepared for it.
If it means that I can't get everything you need on the blog tonight, then it simply means I will give it to you tomorrow, and we put the CA back a day. Don't stress :)
Anyway, you paragraphs should look like this...
Remember PEE
(Point) One way in which we could compare the character of Lady Macbeth between the two versions is through the way she dresses. (Evidence) For example, when the play was originally staged in theatres such as The Globe, the tradition would have been for the character to dress in typically feminine attire, possibly a long flowing dress, to accentuate her femininity. Many productions often have Lady Macbeth dressed in dark colours in order to hint at the idea that she is an evil character because she has been praying to evil spirits. (Point) However, in the modern adaptation 'Shakespeare Retold', which is set in a restaurant, Lady Macbeth is wearing clothing which is totally different to what we would expect. (Evidence) For example, throughout the film, Lady Macbeth is wearing a red trouser suit which makes her look more masculine in her appearance than a traditional interpretation of the characters. (Now explain the significance of what you have just said). This is interesting because in the modern adaptation of the play, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as being more masculine as she is wearing traditionally masculine clothes. This suggest that she has to act more manly in order to do her job as manager of the restaurant. In a way, this is similar to the character of the original play who asks for the spirits to 'unsex her' in order to make her more masculine so that she can carry out the murder. Both versions of character, using different methods, need to act mroe masculine in order to progress with what they are doing.
You could even add on...
This is even more interesting in the case of the modern Lady Macbeth as now, in society, women should not really have
As you can see, it really is that simple. Just think of about 4/5 different ways that you can compare LM in each set scene, and write a paragraph like this. In you EXPLAIN bit, you simply need to use your knowledge of the time difference to make it make sense.
