Howdy! I hope you don't mind me adding in a QCE perspective here lol.
Basically, how our teacher taught us was that the thesis can be simple, as long as you follow HITS for the introduction.
H - Hook (a quote relating to the question, e.g. "Unsex me here!" (Act II))
I - Intro (introduction to the play e.g. Macbeth is a play written by Shakespeare, about a Scottish warrior who is led by ruthless ambition to commit regicide. (or something along the lines of that))
T - Thesis (It can be as simple as, "Shakespeare invites the reader to view the concept of masculinity as highly dangerous.")
S - Sub Arguments (This is evident through Lady Macbeth, who feels as though she must become more masculine to act upon her desires. Banquo and Macduff present the ideal male figure for the Elizabethan era and finally, Macbeth, whose misunderstanding of masculinity leads to his ultimate demise)
You can also tie this in with ambition, as Macbeth through more ambition meant he was more masculine sorta thing.
Para 1: Lady Macbeth
2-3 quotes
Para 2: Banquo and Macduff
2-3 quotes - talk about their loyalty
Para 3: Macbeth
2-3 quotes
The main way to approach a question is, if you get a character question, your three arguments are the themes.
If you get a theme question, your arguments are three characters that are very prominent in this theme.
If you have any questions, just ask!
