In Macbeth, there are several different themes. These are some of the themes i can think of.

1. People around you can influence you greatly.
2. Guilt can change one a lot.
3. Women think like men to be evil.
4. Murder brings another murder.
5. One's actions is totally depended on one's beliefs.

Friday was very cold, which helped us work harder. We looked at our scavanger hunt, and then we talked about Macbeth. We talked about the bonus he gave us, (which i did but left in my room) and we found each one in the book as a class. I found it very difficult to recognize those stuff because Shakespear's language is so confusing and wierd. However, i got over it, and succeded to find those stuff that he gave us.

Today we did a scavanger hunt on Macbeth. I found some metaphores and forshadowing. It was an interesting game, except it was very difficult and hard to understand. Mr. Maddox's assignments are always difficult. I had difficulty finding what dramatic irony meant, but Iwas relieved after Mr. Maddox decided to tell us.

In a movie, I would present Macbeth as a hero in a battle, who always doesn't really care about his armor for protection, but still never gets hurt. He would talk a bit cocky. In a battle, he would never take a helmet on, and when the other soldiers see him, they will be afraid.
His expression is very changeless, and calm.

The way Macbeth was feeling is kind of stubborn because of something shocking. Sometimes, when I have nightmares, I feel the same way. I wake up scared of what happened in my dream, and it takes me about 10 mins to calm down. For example, once I had a dream of my friend dying. When i woke up, my heart was pumping so fast that my chest hurt, and it took a while to calm down. However, even after i calmed down, I was scared that my dream would come true, which did not fortunately.

I think that the witches wanted Macbeth to believe what they were saying, becasue the witches showed earlier in the play that they did not care what happened to anybody, and that what they enjoyed the most is to just sit back and watch what they have set up. Also, the witches have no reason to side on anybody, because they dont care.

Today we talked about Maya Angelou and heard opinions from others. Mr. Maddox said that it is important because shes someone who has lived through times of racism and still lives to tell the story, and that she leaves her thoughts through literature.
