MACBETH:]

Macbeth
This is the picture of what i would imagine Macbeth to look like. He is wearing nice clothing and has on a crown, which makes me think he is "king-like". I think of Macbeth as a leader and very strong looking, which this picture shows.















3 Witches     This is the picture i chose to use the represent the 3 witches. When I think of them I think of creepy looking women, and this picture portrays that. I feel like the witches are very weird and different, like in this picture it looks like they are saying some kind of spell.

AMBITION, YEAH!

     To me ambition means that you would do anything to get what you want. It means that you're very determined and won't stop trying to achieve something until you're satisfied. It most circumstances and i think ambition is positive, but for some cases there could be a dark side to it. Some people are sometimes overly ambitious and come off as trying to hard and could potentially ruin chances for themselves in the future. I feel that people should be ambitions is everything they do or you won't succeed as well as you could if you really were determined to do or get something. I do believe that I am a very ambitious person, when i want to achieve in something I will always try my hardest and put my all into what I am doing.

"The 32 Second Macbeth"

      The witches say that fair is the same as foul. Next, the king sees a bloody man and the witch hears a drum and Macbeth comes. Macbeth says "So foul and fair a day I have not seen". Then one of the witches says "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" Macbeth says if it happens, he will be king. Lady Macbeth says "Unsex me here." and Macbeth answers "If it were done when ‘tis done." Lady Macbeth says don't worry about your courage and kill Duncan. Macbeth then kills Duncan with a dagger. Lady Macbeth says "A little water clears us of this deed." Macbeth says "Blood will have blood." The witches then do something weird, like a spell and theres blood everywhere. Lady Macbeth is trying to get a blood stain out and Macbeth blow out a candle, then Macduff tells him to turn around. Macbeth and Macduff fight and Macbeth dies and then Macduff is crowned king. 
      I noticed that a lot of people get killed or die and that many different people get crowned king.
Two questions I have were what does "Fair is foul and foul is fair" mean. Also what does "Unsex me here" mean.

LITERATURE RULES

     Why should we care about Literature? Literature is used in our everyday lives. Whether you're writing a paper or reading a book. I strongly enjoy reading and learning more about literature and the different types that there are. I feel that Literature from the past is what had made the foundation of what Literature is now. I am very interesting in learning about Literature from different cultures. I think communicating with different people from other cultures can really change your perspective on certain things, including literature. Studying literature can expand everyones mind and people could also have a better perspective on life.
