Changes I would make to the play
Hello everybody, welcome back! I will be sharing and discussing the changes I would make to the play if I could have. One of the things I would definately change is the amount of killings that had occured because I feel like there is way to much violence in the play and I personally am not a fan of vioelnce at all therefore I would reduce it in the play but not remove all of it out because it does add a little bit of twist to the story. Another thing I would change is the part where when Macbeth was killed and Macduff showed off his head to everybody because that part is very disturbing to me and completely unnesscary I feel to the play. The last thing that I would change of course if the advanced vocabulary involved and make it more easier so kids will read it and be more interested because they know whats going on and understand the vocabulary. Overall, the play was interesting and I would not change much besides what I have listed above.
One setting that made me uneasy
Hello again everybody, today I will be discussing the one setting that made me uneasy. The generation we are in, everything is very out there and sometimes unacceptable but for me im so used to just everything that it is very rare for me to be uneasy about a situation. Macbeth did not trigger any feelings for me that would make me feel uneasy but there was one setting that really got to me was when Macduff had cut off Macbeth's head and shows it off to his friends. That is a part where I felt very uncomfortable and very upset because I had actually pictured it in my head. It made me feel very upset because even though it is a play, who would even include such a horrific scenario like that? That is just absolutely inappropriate and disgusting. Who kills somebody and shows it off to their friends like its a trophy at that moment I felt his behavior was absolutely unnecessary and that savage. Its so brutal even though its in a play but who would even think of something like that, obviously Macduff is a complete psychopath. The fact that people were cheering on disgusted me even more, like how can you even applaud somebody for doing such a brutal crime like that.I know what Macbeth had done wasn't any better but you already killed him anyways, was showing off his head to people a necessary thing to do. This was the only part in the play that made me feel very uneasy the rest of the play was normal. I honestly feel this scene should not have been included in this play at all because it is just way to much for somebody to even read and visualize in their mind.
Lady Macbeth Versus Macbeth
Hello everybody! Welcome back, today I will be topic I will be blogging about is Lady Macbeth versus Macbeth. These two are a couple, a very interesting one if you ask me. They are a power hungry couple, that KILL for it. Does it sound like a healthy relationship? Absolutely not. Lady Macbeth is a very muniplating, power hungry and cold hearted wife of Macbeth. She is very influencing in the beginning of the play because he gets Macbeth to commit murder so he can become more powerful. At first, he wasn't into the idea at all but she ended up muniplating him and making him feel as if he is lesser than a man which led him into commiting a crime that haunted both of them til the day they died. She pressured Macbeth into killing King Duncan, when she knew that isn't what he wanted she still made him do it which shows how much of a selfish and controlling wife wife she is. She does not care for Macbeth at all what so ever, she only wants to recieve the benefits that Macbeth will recieve once he becomes king. While reading this story, I cannot stop thinking of how toxic and unhealthy their relationship was. She was just so controlling and so muniplating it caused alot of damage to Macbeth because all because of one crime she made him commit it ruined his entire sanity and mind, he was filled with guilt but the guilt was over powered by the desire of power he wanted. After Duncan got murdered, to make Lady Macbeth any more of a worse person she puts the blame on the innocent body gaurds that did not commit a crime and even worse Macbeth had killed them to make it seem as if they had killed Duncan and they got killed after for what they had done but the only reason why Macbeth had killed the body gaurds was to blame them and nobody could ask them if they had commited the crime or not, which they didn't but just incase Macbeth killed them so no questions would be asked so the actual person who killed Duncan which was Macbeth would not be able to proven guilty. The guilt of the murder became so strong that Lady Macbeth ended up commiting suicide.
Lady Macbeth not the only bad person in this play, Macbeth is just as bad as her and maybe even worse considering the fact that he had murdered people just so he could become the King of Scotland. In the beginning of the story, Macbeth was precieved as a weak character but throughout the story he starts becoming insane because the desire of power took over him. I feel the relationship both had was more as if they were in a partnership than actual relationship.
Til next time, cheers!

How Destiny Played It's Role
Hello everybody, today I will be blogging about how destiny played its role and it sure did in this play. In the beginning of the play the 3 witches had predicted Macbeth's future in which that he would become king. It was very scary/interesting at the same time on how the witches predicaments came true throughout the story but I also feel that Macbeth had contributed in making those predicaments come true because he had committed murders and crimes to be where he wanted to be which was to become the King of Scotland. What I don't fully understand is, how can somebody become king if they commit such horrific crimes? I feel like he doesn't deserve the title King of Scotland because he did a lot of dirty work to receive it. It was his destiny that made king, which is odd because his destiny was also that he will never be killed by a man who was woman born but he ended up being killed my Macduff who was born C-section. I honestly didn't even know the that being born naturally or C- section had any difference between them, your born from a woman either way right? But I guess back in the day there was a difference between the both.. But maybe its destiny and whats written in your destiny will happen, clearly. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen regardless of the obstacles that occur. Whatever is meant to be will be and that is a phrase I go by because I feel like if something is destined to happen in your life, it will happen so therefore if it doesn't than it wasn't your destined to be. Destiny played a big role in this play by having all the predicaments of Macbeth's future come true.
Til next time, Cheers!

Overall Expirence Reading Macbeth
My overall experience in reading Macbeth was more interesting that I had expected it to be. It isn't the most entertaining novel out there but the characters and the way things went down really made the play very interesting to read. I found the further I kept reading, the more it kept me interested because of the situations that were occurring. Usually if im reading the something, the beginning it is very interesting but the more I read it gets to become boring but it was not like that with this story. I had mixed feelings about the play because it had a lot of violence involved which makes me very uneasy. Usually when I like read novels or even watch plays I tend to feel very bored because I am just not interested in whats happening, I feel as if its not what I would go to if I had a choice to pick a novel. Reading this play, I felt very enjoyable to read about Macbeth being bossed around and so forth but towards the end after Lady Macbeth died the play just got more and more boring but the killings and how Macbeth did horrific deeds to become king was honestly really the only interesting parts of the novel otherwise the read wasn't really something I would continue to read if I had a choice to. I feel the only reason why I feel this way is growing up in this generation, I am so used to those vocabulary that is not as advanced as the one in this novel is. Reading plays with such advanced vocabulary just makes me uninterested because I am so used to the vocabulary my generation tends to use that when reading thou, shalt and advanced vocabulary like that just makes the interest I have in the book decrease. If the play was written in vocabulary that was easy to understand and written in a language that people are usually used to it would be more interesting, like I hate reading a novel with words involved that I have absolutely no idea what it means and it just throws me off when I am trying to make an understanding out of what I am reading. The characters names in the story sometimes really threw me off because of how similar they were to each other for example Macduff and Macbeth, like reading those names since they are so similar really made me forget which character is who. Overall, I had a interesting time reading this play but it isn't that type of play I would pick because it isn't as enjoyable as I would have liked it to be.
