How Cow Post Relates to Macbeth

I was asked by little Sarah how my previous cow post related to Macbeth, this I why...



Cow Goes Moooo

In celebration of the completion of Macblogs, enjoy this cow.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

How Macbeth Changes Character

Macbeth's character changes drastically from good to evil, this can be seen throughout all five of the acts. At the beginning, Macbeth's character was respected with him being Thane who showed loyalty to King Duncan. Then just decides to ignore that and kill him because of some witches prophecies and his own wife Lady Macbeth encouragement and his own ambition to become king and take the throne. This putting Macbeth into a state of guilt and fear, in which he decides to keep killing and killing just cause he is powerful. In the end he becomes the evil person in the play, and is rightfully removed from power and killed for his crimes committed.


Clothes and Macbeth

Shakespeare not only uses clothing to define ones role as a character, but he uses it as symbolical significance. When Macbeth first hears that he will be named the Thane of Cawdor, due to the other Thane sentenced to death, he asked why he is being dresses in "borrowed robes". This also helps to represent the persons achievements if earned or stolen. By stating he is dressed in borrowed robes that don't fit him, it really means that he is unfit for the role and may have not entirely earned that role in question. Unlike if they were to say, that the robe he was being dressed in fit appropriately, it would mean he is meant for this role. Much like the saying "if the shoe fits".


Shakespeare Father Interpretation

Wonder what is up with Shakespeare and his father son relationships in his plays. Either the son witnesses the father being killed or the father witnesses the sons death. It also seems to be that the relationships between the two are very much important to the outcome of the other. For example Macduff is shown as a bad father by leaving his family behind and this causing Macbeth to kill his kids and wife. Banquo on the other hand caring for his son Fleance, this shown by putting his own life before his sons, and later assumed he lives and continues on to have his family and be successful in life. Father and son relationships determine the families fate?


Doctors in Macbeth

Doctors in the play seem to do little to nothing, with them only have two appearances and only observing what is going on. in the last act, a doctor comes and witnesses the extent of Lady Macbeth's guilt and what it is causing her to do. In act 5 we see that Lady Macbeth sleepwalks and talks about what she knows about the murder of Duncan and Banquo, and yet another character appears to do nothing about it. What could have been done by the doctor anyways? Lady Macbeth seemed like she was extremely bad and full of guilt, not like they can confront the king and her about it... unless they wanted to get killed.


What's Importance of a “Ghost Light”?

So the logical reasoning for a light to be on in the theater at night is for any person that is in the theater working late or something. The light from the so called "ghost light" allows them to see where they are going due to stages having so many hidden places, bumps, and holes. For others it could also be for comforting, for the play Macbeth is said to be cursed. Having the actors avoid saying the name and referring to it as "The Scottish Play", and even avoid quoting lines before performances in particularly the witches incantations. How do they perform then if they can't say the words? This all just sounds like superstitions to me.
