Johnathan and I practiced our scripts and aquired some props. We did good when it came to saying our lines loud and clear but we didn't do well when it came to memorizing our lines. Next time I will try to memorize my lines and I will try to put more emotion into my script.

Paranoia

Macbeths paronia is a direct consequence of his weak mental state and having betrayed his trusted king and his best friend. Macbeth can kill a man easy but he cant kill a man sneakily. He feels he betrayed these 2 men that are now dead and hes ruined a lot of lives in his drive for glory. It shows that Macbeth has a consience and is dieing inside from the guilt. He wish he never killed Duncan that day but its to late and he must keep moving forward or he'll be caught. Lady Macbeth on the other hand has no remorse and will kill many people to get on that throne. Macbeths paranoia is getting worst every day and I can see him getting to the point where he will admit what he has done.

So what is up with Macduff?

I think Macduff is plotting to assassinate Banguo with the help of Macbeth. Macbeth convinced Macduff to do it with false lies and Macduff is going to carry out the dark deed.

Ambition

I think Macbeth wants to be king of Scotland but he didn't have the brass to do it. He needed the mental support from his wife lady Macbeth which she did very well. I think she is the real brains behind the operation but if anything happens shes just the innocent wife. Shes smart and is putting on a good cover in case anything hits the fan. Macbeth's ambition is causing him to kill his king and his friends all to sit atop the throne.

Questions

I didn't really have a tough time asking the questions and I think I came up with some good ones.

The Bloody Play----- Which Witches

I think the male witches are the best of other option. If it were a actual witch that lived in a cave making potions then this story would have taken a more mythical approach. The nurse witches are good possibility but the male witches seem the most realistic. I think rumor was going around the soldiers and guards that someone was plotting to assassinate King Duncan and that it was going to happen soon. Maybe it was a prediction that was created just to convince Macbeth to do the deed.

Power

Power can definetly corrupt the mind. Countless rulers and people with some sort of echolon of power have gone down the wrong. end. Macbeth is a prime example of what we would call powe hungry. He strives to be the supreme leader and he will anyone in his way whether friend or trusted king. Duncan looked like a good king who had experience as being a king. He wasnt power hungry and wasn't trying to kill people at will. Macbeth and his greedy wife are going to detroy themselves eventually with the power greed.
