Mr. Williams, 9:58 today is June 17, 1582 I approach the Macbeth residents with an aggressive and mighty knock. As they open the door they both stared and gave me an innocent look but I didn’t mind it so we talked and I studied Ms.macbeth as she talked she gave me unnoticeable symptoms and she would act kind of weak as in lady like then got aggressive as a strong and distinctive mad would and in my studies I haven’t come across anything about switching personalities like she was possessed or something so couldn’t help her. So I went to Ms.macbeth and asked what has he been feeling or hearing. And he stated that he been hearing voices in his head like he was being haunted and then he jumped and ducked “oh there it goes again shhhhh listen …”

Looking up at the cauldron-black sky pouring with rain, scars of flashing light ripping through clouds. Macbeth's screams ran through the muddy patches of the battle field. Staring at the enemy lines his thirst for blood became stronger, With his bloodshot eyes and his screams for victory as he charged with his men right by his side. Storms of arrows attacked the sky blending into the darkness of the clouds, As the running men collided the sounds of the heavy metal armour smashing into each other deafened the sounds of the shouts and screams of the wounded from the front lines, Macbeth who was the most fearless among all strided head high on his horse slashing down at the enemy soldiers. The black stripes painted down his face with excess mud

1. I think that Shakespeare wrote in blank verse because sometimes when I am reading something that rhymes and is super long I eventually don't even understand what I am reading, I think it aids the drama even if it is confusing. I'm just thinking about all the words rhymes and kinda give myself a beat to go off of. So I'm not actually focusing on the sentence just the words that are rhyming. Shakespeare seemed to smart, and plus that is how a lot of things were written back then.
Act 2, scene 2 is quite an important scene in Macbeth, since it marks the changes of the characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Their thoughts and emotions are presented in this particular scene. It shows the different roles that they play and how much they have been influenced by the witches’ prophecies. Lady Macbeth claims to be courageous in the beginning of the scene, by saying ‘that which hath made them drunk made me bold’.

The scene Act 3 scene 2, conveys the theme that killing someone isn't the most proficient way in dealing with problems nor does it make life simpler, instead it creates more complications. Ironically, In this scene Lady Macbeth and Macbeth discuss the death of Banquo; both of them begin to show signs of fear & guilt. Both of them realize the troubles that come with killing Banquo, and recognize that troubles follow; his son Fleance can still cease the prophecy. This is demonstrated in the metaphorical quote “We have scorched the snake, not killed it.” Macbeth refers to Banquo as a snake, who has not yet been killed and is still able to “attack” them.

Searching for the ghost that had haunted her for what seemed like an eternity. The hallucination appeared soon after the death of King Duncan. His happy and nonchalant demeanour was what had caused Lady Macbeth many sleepless nights. She would have been able to endure an angry or hateful ghost, but the honourable manner and grace in which he held himself gave her a sense of unwavering and nauseating guilt. The ghost of King Duncan now leaned

In his soliloquy, He shows his intention he would like to achieve but its construction shows Macbeth’s mind still very much in confusion.

The version of Macbeth Act 5 Scene 1 that was the most true to Shakespeare 's vision was the Kate Fleetwood version. The Kate Fleetwood version was more successful than the Judi Dench version due to the portrayal of Lady Macbeth and her downfall.
