Macbeth Notes

Scene 2

• Lady Macbeth doesn't want Macbeth to feel sorry or anything weak.

• Macbeth is starting to feel guilty. The audience has a strong notion on the nature of good and bad.

• Glamis is the last title Macbeth earned rightly.

• Forgot to leave the dagger in the drunk guards hands.

• Lady Macbeth didn't want to kill the king because he reminds her of her father, but she encourages Macbeth too.

• Lady Macbeth says Macbeth is not constant, but riding the waves of adrenalin. 

• Shakespeare uses the knocking as a distraction, or sense of guilt. Inescapable reality.

• The Gorgon is like looking at Medusa, it is paralyzing.

• Now that Duncan is dead, everything is going crazy. The birds are prey, the horses are eating each other. Everything in nature is being disrupted.

Act 3

• Malcom and Donalbin left to find safety and figure things out.

• Don't know why Duncan's sons don't take his place as king.

• Murder happened at night, in the morning everything was discovered.

• References Brutus and Caesar. 

What About My Masterpiece?

Shakespeare had all day every to write but my colleagues and I have to work with ours in between our other endeavors. Breanna, Eli and I have been watching movies and discussing how they really appear. We will begin putting more posts to our movie blog soon!

Love is Blind

Macbeth sees Lady Macbeth differently then how the audience sees Lady Macbeth. He listens to her and takes in her words even though they sound like madness to us. Lady Macbeth tells him to look cool and calm on the outside, but on the inside to continue to be evil and plot the kings murder. I guess you could say love is truly blind and Macbeth might as well have been born without eyes.
