The beginning of the Macbeth, Ecplained

In my English class we started to read the play Macbeth Act 1. In the beginning it shows that is going to a dark, mysterious play. They symbolize darkness, chaos, and conflict. What seems fair might actually be foul, and what seems foul might actually be fair. I think it is like a set up in the theme "Appearance versus reality. In every battle, there is a loser and a winner. Winning will become a major theme in the play. It is a moral battle between what is right and what is wrong. I think three woman are witches they have spirit animals created by Satan. It might symbolize evil and that this might suggest the action of the play. In Scene II the bloody man reports saying that is was a difficult battle and Macbeth killed Macdonwald. Macdonwald is worthy rebel because he had fault soldiers and horsemen and was very lucky. Macbeth and Banquo are describes "as sparrows, eagles, or the hare, the lion""as cannons over charg'd with double cracks""They meant to bathe in reeking wounds" The bird motif appears multiple times throughout the play. This is an allusion to Golgotha, which is where Jesus was crucified. They were going to make this battle more famous than that. I think that this would be very important part of Scottish history and a large part of story line.Scottish was fighting Norway with a smudge bit of Ireland. Witches talk in poetry is because it's like they're casting a spells. The witches predict that Macbeth will be king. The dramatic irony is this is that they predicted Banquo's children to be kind. The witches predict that Banquo will be "Not so Happy, yet much happier"than Macbeth. This is ironic because Macbeth feels that the more powerful he is, the happier he will be but Banquo will be less powerful but happier. I don't really like Macbeth because he kills someone to become king. Banquo is okay because he seems more nicer and more down to earth. It shows us that Macbeth is more of a dreamer where Banquo is more realistic. The message that Ross brings is the news that Macbeth has been appointed thane of Cawdor. Banquo is telling Macbeth that the agents of evil often tell us part of the truth to lead us to our destruction. They earn trust by telling us the truth about little things, but then they betray us when it will damage us the most.

SHAKESPEAREAN BADASS

In my English class we started reading Macbeth and the question my teacher asked us was to describe the first impression of Macbeth. My first impression was that Macbeth was a strong brave leader, can be terribly determined, and ruthless when necessary.

MACBETH N' ME

I was doing a research on Macbeth for my English class, and I think that something that might be interesting on the play is the curse of Macbeth. The curse is called Scottish curse where speaking the name of Macbeth inside a theater would cause a disaster.

Paul Simon's Graceland...

Today in my English class my teacher put us a video of Paul Simon's that is was actually interesting. My experience is that there are people who don't get along with people who aren't white. In the video it showed where there was a group that would play music and instruments and a white person that is singing. I thought to my self, this group looks/sounds peaceful and they would be dancing having fun.

Something Wicked This Way Comes!

I was reading up on Macbeth that makes me think that it applies in the era of President Trump on how getting what you want, and willing to do anything in order to obtain it such as power. I was reading it I got half way when I realized that it was about obtaining power by doing anything and get rid of anyone that crosses their path.
