Macbeth Quotation

My quotation is "If chance shall have me king, chance shall crown me". I think this quote is pretty important, seeing as if he would have stuck to this mindset then the whole play would be over after the first witches scene. This scene and other opening scenes let us get to know Macbeth, and help us start to like him, so we can still sort of like him even as he's doing all these horrible things. I mean they weern't his fault, he was straight up corrupted by greed and all that business.

Another important quote would be "fair is foul and foul is fair." I could be over analyzing this, but this could be a hint at the corruption that Macbeth is about to go through, going from "fair" to "foul". This was also a neat scene, with the witches telling the prophecy and everything. Chants like that really set the mood for the scene. Spent 4 hours on that portfolio.

Macbeth Big Ideas

I think the big idea that is most important for Macbeth is the idea of fate vs choice. When the witches give Macbeth the prophecy, all of the future events in the play were then set in stone. The prophecy was the catalyst for his murder of Duncan, and their would be no way he wouldn't do it. This is why chance wouldn't crown Macbeth, the fates knew that he would be tempted to go in and seize the bull by the horns.

My father and I are going to be building a pirogue soon and I'm pretty excited about that, since I can finally go and explore the mysterious spooky swamp behind my house. I'm going to have lots of wack misadventures with it, it'll be great. I'm not sure what I'm going to name it yet, though. Maybe something awesome like Leviathan or Kaiser, but maybe I should save those names until I get to own my own aircraft carrier or destroyer class vessel.II also haven't decided what color I'm going to paint it, but I'll probably just freehand some woodland style camo or varying shades of forest green.

4/14 Statement Rsponse

Statement: Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.


I agree with this. The success of one is built on the failures of many others, and to gain power one must normally have to do some plotting, lying, backstabbing, and other unsavory things. This is related to Macbeth because Macbeth himself is about to kill King Duncan in order to rise to the title of King. Assassination is pretty wrong, but Macbeth's ambition and desire to rise up overpowers is moral conscience.
