So here is my 3rd official literature blog post! Well,we've finally come to the end of studying Macbeth. Maybe I shall not use the word,"end" as I would still want to continue to explore the different character traits different characters react. I'm so happy when I actually managed to find the comic book of Macbeth in the school library! Okayokay,so here is a brief summary on the story,Macbeth based on Act 1 scene 1 and 2.
Summary
The play begins on an open stretch of land in medieval Scotland. Three Witches enter and give the prophecy that the civil war will end that day and that at sunset they will meet Macbeth. The Witches are summoned to leave, but they do not leave without stating that what is normally “fair” will be “foul,” and what is “foul” will be “fair.”King Duncan learns that Macbeth has been victorious and has defeated Macdonwald. The Thane of Cawdor has betrayed Duncan and is accused of being a traitor. Duncan orders the Thane of Cawdor’s execution and announces that Macbeth...
Overall,I find Macbeth this story really entertaining. It actually arouse our curiosity and imagination with the questions like,"How does Macbeth actually look like?" "What is Macbeth's immediate reaction when he know that he is going to be the king?" "Why does the witch choose Macbeth?" "What's the special in Macbeth?" and the list goes on and on.
My favorite character.
My favourite characters are non other than the three witches! I find them really amazing. Amazing as in very very persuasive. They actually made Macbeth believe that he could over thrown the King. I think that the main character in this story,besides Macbeth,should be the witches. They also played an very important role in the story,causing this story to have it's climax. (I wonder if i could have such persuasive tone one day :P )
What did I learn from Macbeth?
I learnt that it teaches morals such as loyalty and honour, 'what goes around comes around', not to trust evil sources who promise happiness through evilness. Not forgetting,to never trust any people easily. For example,how the King trust Macbeth and how Macbeth trusted the witches.
