Romantic and Victorian

Romantic and Victorian Period Paper
Romantic Period
Industrial Revolution happened during Romantic Period. It changed the way things were done. Before Industrial Revolution goods were made by hand, at home. Then when Industrial Revolution started production switched to factories, people started using machines, which worked faster than human beings could work by hand. When the factories came the population grew. Housing conditions also improved. Most land that was shared by farmers was taken over by private owners when this happened lots of people had no land. During Industrial Revolution an economic philosophy was started called "Laissez Faire", which mean "let people do as they please" according to this policy, economic laws should be allowed to operate freely without government influence. The results of the lassez faire were that the rich grew richer and poor suffered even more.
The French revolution was also part of the Romantic period. The storming of the prison called The Bastille which happened on July 14, 1789, started the revolution. To English the French Revolution meant triumph of radical principles. Democratic idealist and liberals was happy about what was happening. In 1972 the "September massacre" took place in France. Hundreds of French aristocrats had their heads severed from their bodies. During French Revolution control of government changed. Napoleon Bonaparte emerged as dictator and then as emperor of France. He became a ruthless and executed king. All these crazy changes made Western Europe rigid.
After reading Romantic period, I think life for normal people was chaotic. There was too much happening during that period. Their government was changing up too much and it was hard for the poor people. I think a normal day would be someone getting beheaded or a massacre. It seemed like only bad things happened so the people who lived there probably was mad, stressed, and always scared. It seem like every time you turn around something interesting or violent was happening there. I know if I stayed there I would be terrified
Romantic poets wanted to express their emotions. I say this because romantic signifies exploring and learning to trust emotions. They seem to be trying to find their will, and sense of identity. Their emotionally confused so they write to explore their emotions. They also wanted to express the way they think people should live. I say this because in Romantic poetry they question tradition and authority to better imagine things that is happier, fairer, and healthier, ways to live. In their poetry they normally talk about ways of life. They also express how they think one should live. They also expressed nature. They were called" nature poets" In there poems they talk about scene of forests, mountains, and streams. They think of scenic overlooks and write about it. They believed in beauty of nature. And they had their own way of viewing nature as well.
The poem William Blake The Blossom is basically talking about nature. In the poem he talks about how green the leaves are. He also talks about the pretty robin. So to me it seems like he’s in a garden or field picking flowers or just watching them. If he not in the garden he could be in a pretty forest of woods, but I know he somewhere beautiful. Blossom is a good example of romantic poetry because it talks about nature. Romantic poets like nature and they look at it and write about it. It a good example because he talks about a beautiful scenery and romantic poets do that. When he says "under leaves so green, a happy blossom" he’s basically describing and telling us how beautiful the nature was, the leaves where so green. Just from his words you can basically picture what he’s talking about. In one line he says "pretty, pretty robin" He seemed like he was happy to see the robin and you can also picture a robin just sitting there in front of you.
The poem William Wordsworth The Birth of Love this poem had kind of a sad vibe. It talked about a woman who gives birth to an infant child. As he describes her she seems to be happy. The love of the infant overwhelmed her so much that she spoiled him. When the child smiled it made her happy. It’s a good example of Romantic poetry because he talks about love. Romantic poets express and talk about their emotions. It also a good example because romantic poets like to explore their emotions and in this poem it seemed like he had some of his emotions in it, because the poem had that sad vibe. In one quote it stated " think all, he is the God of young delight" this quote shows me that they really worship and love the child, and he seem to be the center of their world. They called the child HOPE. Another quote I really liked was " in that divine embrace enchanted lay" I like this quote because he call the child "enchanted" and that shows the love and romantics talk about love a lot.
The poem http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-speak-not/ I speak not by George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron. In the poem he is talking about a person he cares about. He seems guilty like he done something bad to them. In the poem he says that he don’t want to speak, or breath this person name. He seems very sad and regretful in the poem. He’s mostly talking about his relationship with someone he really loved. It’s a good example of romantic poetry because he pours out his emotions. He also express why he’s feeling the way he is. Romantic poets are very wrapped up in their emotions and they aren’t afraid to express themselves. "I speak not, I trace not, I breathe not thy name" In this quote he’s showing guilt, because he’s saying he don’t even want to speak this person name. Another quote I really liked is "we will part, we will fly to unite again" I like this quote a lot because, he express the faith he has in the relationship. He feels like he not going to let go right now, he’s going to give it a chance and see will they reunite.
Percy Bysshes Shelley poem Music, When soft voices dies http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1900.html. This poem is talking about music. In the poem he talk about how you can hear the soft sound of music when everything is quite. He also talks about how the music vibrates and stays in your memory. He’s basically saying when your listening to music your thoughts are gone and your mind is just wondering. This poem reminds me of romantic poetry because it talks about the scenery. In the poem it talk about what he hear and the things around him. He also explained how the music made him feel, which is what romantic do. Romantic expresses their feelings and they express their thoughts or ideas. "Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in memory. In this quote he is describing what music can do to someone, now when you listen to music it takes track of your thoughts. Another quote I like that show romantic poetry is "and so thy thoughts, when thou art gone" I like this quote because it’s true and music does contain your thoughts.
John Keats poem "When I fear that I may cease to be" http://www.poetseers.org/the_romantics/john_keats/the_poetry_of_john_keats/when_i_have_fears_that_i_may_cease_to_be This poem talk about his fears. He talks about how before he writes or thinks he get a fear. He also talks about other fears like never being traced or never being able to look upon thee. The whole poem is basically about his fears. It’s an example of Romantic Poetry because during the poem he’s all emotional talking about his fears. In the quote "of the wide world I stand alone and think" this quote make him seem like he is afraid of being lonely, he’s afraid of not having love. To me he is very imaginative and has his own special view of creative power. And that’s exactly how romantics are.
The Victorian Period
During Victorian Period Industrial Revolution of 18th century expanded. Over the course of the century it created new towns, new goods, new wealth, and new jobs for tens of thousands of people. Social and Economic changes moved up gradually. Working class politicians and voters achieved political power while leaving the monarchy and aristocracy in place. The Victorian era was a time of relative peace and economic growth. As the British Empire grew steadily, the industrial revolution expanded. Human forties were also part of the Victorian Era. During this time the era was full of troubles. During this time Victoria came to the throne in the first year of depression that by 1842 had million and a half-unemployed workers and their families on some form of poor relief. Government commissions investigated working conditions and learned that children were working 12 hours and falling asleep at machines. They discovered young girls and boys carrying sledges of coal. Then in Ireland Potato blight caused a famine that killed perhaps a million people and forced 2 million others to emigrate. All these events were apart of "hungry Forties" which is apart of Victorian period.
After reading about the Victorian Period I think life for normal people during this time seemed easy going. Their lifestyles had a lot of changes going on. Their lives were mostly peace. They had a lot of economic growth. All around these people new things were being create4d. I t seemed like they know how to adapt to change easily. New towns was developing, new goods, and new jobs. All these changes were happening but they were good changes that made people during Victorian era life easygoing. There are many differences between the Romantic and Victorian period. The Romantic Period was more chaotic than Victorian period. During the Romantic Period lots of events was taking place, most of them bad. But as the Victorian period came along things begin to change and improve. The Victorian period was just more, peaceful. During the Romantic period Industrial Revolution was just starting, but in Victorian Period Industrial Revolution had set off for the best, people had better job opportunities and economy was better. Another difference is the government. Romantic period believed in "laissez faire" everybody free to do what they want, but the Victorian government cared more about what their people did and their rules, Victoria was ruler than. The Victorian writers asked questions and raised doubts. Victorian writers questioned whether humans were satisfied. I say this because they wanted readers to be pleased. Their highest purpose was to make readers aware of connection between earth and heaven, body and soul, material and ideal. The writers sometimes wanted to scare reader into effective moral and political actions that were believed possible. Some wanted to show readers what it is like to live in a pleasurable moment of intense feeling. Victorian writers wanted to entertain, inform, warn, and reassure.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson Love and Death http://www.2020site.org/poetry/lovedeath.html This poem is my favorite poem so far. In the poem it’s kind of like love and death are competing or like their talking to each other. The poem describes love as paradise. In the poem death and love is described. It’s a good example of Victorian poetry because Victorian poets like to show difference between body and soul. I think death and love has a lot to do with body and soul. The poem also seemed to be written for reader’s pleasure and Victorians love to please their readers. The quote " you must begone, said death, those walks are mine" This reminds me of the body and soul theory I say this because it seem like body and soul are battling each other through out the entire poem.
Among the rocks by: Robert Browning http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/among-the-rocks/
This poem is a nature-based poem. The poem talks about the earth and how beautiful an autumn morning can be. It talks about how a man is in the sun. He must be on a beach with rocks on it. The man is just appreciating the earth and the things around him like the rocks. In the poem it says you should give love e to the earth because it deserve your love. This poem is an example of Victorian because it talks about nature. Victorian poets liked talking about nature. I think the poem is a good example because of this quote " listening the while, where on the heap of stories" this line describes the nature and how Victorian poets picture the earth and their surroundings in their head.
The last word by Matthew Arnold
http://www.netpoets.com/classic/poems/001008.htm
This poem talks about how someone feels this is their last word, and this is the last thing they have to say. In the poem it seem like he’s describing someone. Someone who wants to stop the arguing and let things go and be the way their suppose to. The poem also talks about how a person wants everything to end at last. It seem like the whole situation or whatever that’s going on is stressing them and they just want to say what they have t say so it can be the last word. The poem is a good example of Victorian poet because it’s very intense and Victorian writers are very intense writers, they also like to assure you and to make sure your entertained. This poem assure you that sometimes giving in and letting things go and not trying to have the last word is the best choice. "Let the long contention cease" is a good example, it shows how the writer is trying to end the argument and let things end. I see why the poem is called the last word.
I look into my glass by: Thomas Hardy
http://classicpoetryaloud.podomatic.com/entry/2007-06-15T06_36_41-07_00
This poem seems to be about a person examining and judging himself or herself. In the poem it seems like he’s saying look into my glass. The glass to me symbolizes a mirror. He talks about how his skin is wasting and how is heart have shrunk. He’s basically been stressed and lonely and now he wants to grieve and shake off the fragile frame he has of himself. This poem is a good example of Victorian because it is very intense. Victorian poets wrote about very intense incidents and they want you to feel and live in the moment that they are writing about. A good quote, which is a good example is " I look into my glass and knew my wasting skin" This quote shows the whole intense part about the poem. The whole time in this poem this man is criticizing his self and basically wanting us to understand him. Which is something a Victorian poet would write about because they want to entertain you and make sure you are interested in what they’re saying.
From reading all these poets and reading about the two different periods I’ve learnt a lot about both and I’m very interested in both as well. Both periods were different in their own way but they keep me interested, especially the different poets I learned about.

The Restoration

The Restoration
The Glorious Revolution was about a man name Charles II who had plenty of kids but no heir, which meant no person inherits or has the right to inherits the property of Charles II if he were to die. When he did die in 1685, his brother James II who was a Roman Catholic replaced him. Most people were positively against James because during this time it was believed that Roman Catholics had set fire to London and caused many other disasters. They also believed that Roman Catholics wanted to hand the country to the pope. So when James II and his queen had a son who would become a Catholic heir, which mean there would be more pressure on their family. The pressure became so bad on them that in 1688 the fled to France. He left willingly and that way there was no bloodshed. Because there was no bloodshed the Glorious Revolution was also called "Bloodless Revolution" So after he left the Glorious Revolution was basically over because all the people wanted for him to be gone and for a catholic not to rule over them.

The reason it was so important is because during this time the people believed that Catholics actually set fire to London, which was not true at all. Because the people believed this they didn’t want as catholic king. They believed if a catholic king ruled then the pope would actually be ruling because the pope was in control. It’s also important because if King Charles had not left he would have been killed and it wouldn’t have been pretty, they probably would have chopped his head of or something. I think him leaving only made him the bigger person and also saved him as well.

Satire is when you use a word to express something different or something opposite of their literal meaning. Satire can also be described when you use sarcasm or you mock someone with smart remarks that may be offensive to them. It can also be when you ridicule someone by actions or words in a way that will intentionally hurt them. Satire can be described as putting someone on the spot or announcing something about someone publicly. So it’s basically laughing or being mean to someone on purpose and mocking.

The show Punk’d is a good example because on the show they are cunning people and pulling pranks on them. Since they doing it on purpose to get a laugh out of it, then that’s a good example of satire. On the show Ashton Kutcher pull real life scenarios on these celebrities and he actually be pranking them and watching their reaction on camera, then when the situation start getting serious or everyone has gotten a laugh the people say you have been Punk’d. Another show is Chapelle show, on the Chapelle show they do the same thing. Dave Chapelle be mocking celebrities and making shows about controversial stuff like racism and stuff.

He did one show where there was a white man and he was blind. The blind man in the scenario thought he was white but he was black. So he was going around saying white power, and then at a meeting he found out that he was a black man, it was so funny. The movie Scary Movie is another example of satire because the whole movie is about mocking other movies like the movie the Others and Scream. The characters in other scary movies but they make it funny. A Modest Proposal is a good example of satire because the author is basically slanting people and talking about them. He talks about them publicly and say terrible things about them. He talks about how the women walk around begging with lots of children following behind them. He talks about how the women occupation is begging and how the kids will grow up to be thieves or fight in war. It also is a good example because he is mocking and picking on people. He also is joking around, like when he stated that a one-year-old is delicious and nourishing and good brewed or roasted. The whole story he is basically mocking and talking about people and things that he has deserved, but he is doing it in a funny comedic way that will make you laugh.

When I first started reading the diary of Samuel Pepys it really caught my attention. On the first day of his journal a man name Major General Harrison was hanged in front of a lot of people and everyone was cheering as if they were happy. It seem like people during this time believed in an eye for an eye because in one part it stated" Thus it was my chance to see the King be-headed at Whitehall and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the blood of the king". From what I’ve read it seem like the man was be-headed because of something he did to the king" Samuel seems to have nothing to do everyday, because he walks around all day and does nothing. He went to the town tavern and chilled. His journal didn’t start getting interesting until the first day of the Great Fire of London. In the text he described it, as a great fire so it must was huge. During the fire more than 300 houses was burned down. The fire must o moved rapidly because everyone was moving all their goods as quickly as possible.

In Samuel Journal the people seem to be very carefree and happy. Every day in Samuel journal he was a happy it seemed like he had no worries. For example the day of the London fire people was just waking around all carefree. In the journal there is a quote that says " People staying in their houses as long as till the very fire touched them" As the fire moved along the people didn‘t panic at all.

Samuel had heard about the fire and he just got up and wen t to visit a friend like nothing was wrong, I thought that was kind of weird. In this quote it shows how carefree Samuel was about the fire "I rose, and slipped on my nightgown and went to her window, and thought it to be on the backside of Mark Lane at the furthest;" this quote shows who he wasn’t even a little bit worried, because during this big major fire he was visiting his friend and acting like he had no worries in the world.I think it’s so cool how everyone in the town just is stress free. I wish I could be like that. I would love if our town was like that…. drama and stress free but we know that will never happen. Samuel seemed to enjoy his life everyday. He walked around and chilled with the bishops and he went to the tavern to chill. The other cool thing about the town is that even though they were all going through a crisis they were all still holding ground and not worrying about the fire that could be destroying them right now.

November 28th Mentor Log 2:20- 3:40

When I first walked in I really didn't feel like being there because when she be busy it's chaotic and Ana Lisa really don't get to spend alot of time with me. We talked about my product and we're both really confused on what we gonna do. I wanna do a video but, i don't think that i will be able to do that anymore because it will take alot of time. So we have decided to use video clips instead. I also have been thinking alot about my presentation and what i want to do. I'm going to pamophlets for everyone. Becauase of my mentor being sop busy that's all we got to talk about. She hasn't really been hepling me so i'm basically on my own. I'm going to continue working on my product and my presenatiton.

November 9th 10:02am - 1:25pm 3 hrs 23mins

I walked in the funeral home it was very quite because she didn't have any bodies. When there are no bodies it be really boring and very quite. She informed me that she couldn't find her books on embalming, so she will have to borrow some from a fellow mortician. She also said she want me to look in on some embalmings so i can get the hands on experience. I told her that i need to start thinking about my product and what i'm gonna do. I'm still a little confused and i been thinking about it alot. I'm thinking about embalming a chicken because that would be really fun. Ana Lisa and i haven't really decided yet though. It's hard finding a product to do for embalming.
We also talked about what i should do for my presentation in general, I know whatever i do i want it to be hands on because i want others to see why i'm so interested in embalming i also want them to see how it's done and the interesting part about it that i enjoy. That's basically all we talked about because we really didn't have much to do. We mostly chilled and talked about what i want to do after school, do i want to go to a mortuary school or what. i really haven't decided myself. After we wrapped things up i gathered my notes and went to catch the bus. She said she'll call and let me know when we can meet again because she'll be very busy the past couple weeks.

October 26, 2007 1:20- 3:55 2hr 35mins

I stopped by the funeral home and Ana Lisa was very busy. She had a body and she was really busy. But since this was our day to meet i decided to stay and try to do what i can do to help because i like the learning experience. I also like to just watch her doing her job because she is so professional and she good at what she do. When morticians have funerals they have alot of important stuff to do. She had to announce the death over the radio to v880 and she had to fax it to the newspaper so it can be printed to inform the public. While she attended to the families and other important stuff she had to do i assisted in answering the phone and walking family members in. Ana Lisa run her own business so it is harder on her because she don't have much help. That's why i look up to her so much because she do it all. She a mortician, embalmer, and she running her own business by herself. Next we took a break and went to dairy queen up the street to get something to eat. After we got back to the funeral home she said she'll call me and let me know when she'll have another chance to meet with me again. So i left and went to catch my bus.

October 5, 2007 10:45pm - 3:00pm 5hrs and 15min

On this day it wasn't as hectic as it was the last time i was there. When i got there Ana Lisa was sitting in waiting room watching the view. When i did an internship there with her last year, she did the same thing. When she was not busy she would watch the view. When we got started i asked her if she had any books i could read about embalming, she said she had alot of books but she'll have to find them because it's been so long since she been in mortuary school. Since she had all her books packed up she said she'll have them ready next time i come.
She also told me about her experience as a student at Gupton- Jones Mortuary school in Atlanta. I never knew they had a school that's just dedicated to teaching about mortician's, embalmer's, and funeral business. I thought that was so cool and interesting. She went to mortuary school when she was in her mid 20's so i think i really don't want to rush into embalming right now. But i know embalming is one of my future career goals that i'm really interested in other than cosmetology. Cosmetology has alot to do with embalming as well because an embalmer actually make over the dead and the have to use make up. They also have to do the dead hair which is something i really like to do myself. I also got on this website called rotten .com to see some dead bodies and how an embalmer can change a destroyed face into a masterpiece. It was a picture of a little boy who whole face was dismembered and an embalmer fixed it back to where it looked like him again. I didn't know an embalmer can reconstruct a human face. When i was done looking at that i answered the phone for her for a while then we closed up and decided on our next meeting.

Mentor Log September 28, 2007 12:05pm-1:45pm 1hr 40mins

This is the first time i actually approached my mentor with the idea of her helping me on my senior project. I choose Ana Lisa because for one she's a licensed mortician and embalmer. She was my mentor before this senior project and i knew she'll be a big help. When i went in the funeral home it smelled so good. I knew she had candles lit when i walked in. Most people look at a funeral home and think their disgusting but i feel like i'm at home when i'm there because a very quite and calming atmosphere.
We talked about my requirements and what i'll need her help for on the project. I also asked her did she have the time to help because morticians are very busy people. The day i went in she actually had a body up there so that's the reason i didn't stay long. I'm basically just glad she can help me period. When i was up there she got really busy so i had to leave a little early. her being my mentor is very convenient for me because i can catch the bus to and from my house at the bus stop which is right in front of the funeral home. Since she was busy she said the next time i come back we'll get to talk more and we'll get to meet a little longer so i can get some more information. My first meeting wasn't what i expected but at least i had a chance to meet. hopefully it will be more better and interesting

Renassiance Sonnets

Edmund Spencer Sonnet

Fair eyes, the mirror of my mazed heart, A

What wondrous virtue is contained in you, B

The which both life and death forth from you dart A

Into the object of your mighty view? B

For when ye mildly look with lovely hew, B

Then is my soul with life and love inspired C

But when ye lour, or look on me askew, B

Then do I die, as one with lightning fired. C

But since that life is more than death desired, C

Look ever lovely, as becomes you best, D

That your bright beams of my weak eyes admired, C

May kindle living fire within my breast. D

Such life should be the honor of your light E

,
Such death the sad ensample of your might. E

In the first section it seems as if he is writing about someone who is looking into the mirror and saying that their eyes are beautiful and that their eyes has mazed or confused his heart, which mean this person must be in a daze by the beauty of the other person. He is basically asking the person how did you become so excellent or amusing. Then it also talks about how the person is darting from life and death into the object of beauty, which to me means that the person is so beautiful that they have to dodge their own view in the mirror.

The second section talks about when the person looks at him straight it touches and inspire him but when the person looks at him all crazy it hurt him inside and makes him want to die or make him feel like he been struck by lightning. Then in the third part it says that since he doesn't desire to die can the person look at him lovely or at their best, and then he will admire the beautiful look because it will make him feel good inside.

Then at the end he basically saying that the person beautiful look should be the honor of his light and that beauty shows and gives an example of what might or might not happen including death.

Shakespeare Sonnet

As an unperfect actor on the stage A

Who with his fear is put besides his part, B

Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, A

Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart. B

So I, for fear of trust, forget to say C

The perfect ceremony of love's rite, D

And in mine own love's strength seem to decay, C

O'ercharged with burden of mine own love's might. D

O, let my books be then the eloquence E

And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, F

Who plead for love and look for recompense E

More than that tongue that more hath more express'd. F

O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: G

To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit. G

The first part is talking about an actor that is fearful of playing his part and is basically beside himself and is fierce and full with lots of rage. He have an abundance or lots of strength but he is weak in his own heart. In the second section he is talking about how the person is fearful and can not trust. I t also talks about how he wants a perfect ceremony of love, but when he's in love his strength seems to decay or rotten and he can't be strong, and he don't have lots of strentghts because the love takes over him and the he has no control. In the third section he is talking about how he talks graceful and that he can foresee good things happening because he feel it in his heart. He also talks about pleading for love and expecting something to happen or expecting to get something back. Then the last two line talks about how you should know how to read love and know which love belongs to you.

Renassiance Sonnets

1.) The rhyme scheme Spencer uses is way different from Shakespeare. His rhyme scheme goes ABABBCBCCDCDEE, Which basically mean his rhyme is constant. He uses more words that rhyme and he don’t skip around a lot, and I think that is harder than the way Shakespeare writes his. Shakespeare style has fewer complexes it doesn’t use many rhyming words like Spencer. His rhyme scheme is basically ABABCDCDFFEFGG, Which mean he don’t rhyme much and he don’t bring rhymes from his first set into his second like Spencer do. If I had to choose between the two I would choose Shakespeare because his rhyme scheme is not as complicated also like the was his writing is more easier to understand and I know what points he are making from beginning to end.

2.) The first point in Shakespeare he is asking should he compare the person he talking about in the poem to a summer’s day. He’s saying she is more lovely and calm than a summer’s day. He also is saying that good things don’t always happen in the summer because in the summer rough winds shake the buds of May and last but not least the summer day don’t last long. The second point he is talking about how the summer can be to hot and how it can dim the complexion of the person he is talking. I like the last part of this section when he says "And every fair from fair sometimes declines" This is saying everything that looks beautiful is not always beautiful, and I really like that quote. The very last line states that beauty can be destroyed by nature or chance. In the third and last section he is basically saying even if the summer fade away the way he feels about her will still be in this poem foe others to read. In the second poem by Spencer, in the first section he comparing his self with a girl he likes. He said he is ice and she is like fire. In the second part is talking about how hot she is but that even though she is hot her beauty is not actually touching him. The third part talk about how her beauty is melting him. And the last part says how powerful is love.

Act 5 Macbeth

In the beginning the doctor is observing Lady Macbeth as she is sleep walking. While she is sleep walking he finds out that she has something to do wit the murders and she actually feel guilty about something which is very shocking for her character. When she was sleep walking she said "Wash your hands; put on your nightgown; look not so pale! I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried, He cannot come out on's grave." This quote basically shows how guilty she is and let us know she had lots to do with banquo murder. Just because she didn't kill him doesn't mean she doesn't get no blame.

Lady Macbeth died and we didn't know why until the end when Malcolm gave his speech. She actually died because she committed suicide. I think she did it because of the guilt she was feeling. When the doctor told Macbeth he acted as if he didn't even care. Just like when he found out Macduff, Malcolm and the solders was outside his house he didn't even panic. I think he a little to bold for his own good. He really need to stop listening to what them witches been feeding him. Them witches have no idea what they talking about.

At the end of act 5 when Macduff finally killed Macbeth i was so happy. I think he deserved it because if he would have listened to what the witches said and been patience maybe he wouldn't have died. He thought a man born from a woman couldn't kill him but from the quote in the book "And let the angel whom thou still hast served tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped" I knew when Macduff said this that it only meant he could kill Macbeth and i was so happy because i was actually getting sick of Macbeth.

Act 4 Macbeth

In Act 4 the witches inform MacBeth that he really has nothing to worry about because no on who is not born from a woman can kill him. They also told him that he want die till the woods reach his castle so, after they tell him all this he thinks he is out of the woods and he really isn't at all. I think he really have a little to much confidence that he is unstoppable. Jut because fair is foul and foul is fair it doesn't mean he is going to get away with what he has done. He eventually will have to die.

In act 4 Lady MacDuff was very upset with her husband because he has left his family and hasn't even come back for them. Lady Macduff and her family was murdered by murderers hired by Macbeth. I think it is son wrong that Macbeth had Macduff family killed, his family was innocent and had nothing to do with that nonsense. Now that he has done that i think he deserve everything that happens to him and more. While Macduff was off trying to convince Malcolm that Macbeth is a bad man he should have been home with his family protecting them.

In the quote where Malcom says "The grief that does not speak whispers the o'er fraught heart and bids it break" that quote was really sad because he really didn't want to break Macduff heart and tell him that his whole family had been killed. After Malcolm told Macduff he felt so guilty and now him and Malcolm are going to MacBeth to kill him and i can't wait to he's dead. I think after Macbeth is dead Malcolm is going to be a good king.

MacBeth Act 3

In act 3 it start off with Mac beth inviting banquo to their dinner. Macbeth is so fake because he don't even like banquo, he actually want banquo and his son dead to make sure their not king. When the murderers came into the play i know something bad was about to happen. I can't believe Macbeth has hired people to kill banquo and his son. I think Macbeth is taking this whole situation to seriously. In one quote it shows how much Macbeth was behind the whole murder and that he actually planned it all.

"Within this hour at most i will advise you where to plant yourselves" This quote shows that Mcbeth has alot to do with banquo death. He really want Banquo dead that bad. When Macbeth started to see the ghost i was so happy. I was happy because he embarrassed his self and he was very scared. I think he deserve being haunted by the ghost after everything he has done.

I was really surprised when Macbeth was the only person to see the ghost. His wife who manipulated him form the beginning called him crazy and said he wasn't acting like an man. I think all this going to come back on Macbeth. Everything he's done is going to hurt him in the end. Him being selfish and worrying about being king is going to be the reason he dies. I can't wait to see what happens in act 4.

MacBeth Act 2

Act one started off crazy, it started off with MacBeth talking out of his head. He was basically hallucinating about killing the king. When he was hallucinating he said he seen blood on the dagger. In the book there was a quote that said " Is this dagger which i See before me" This quote shows how crazy he really is and how his wife manipulation is driving him crazy. I think he's like that because of the way his wife manipulated him from the beginning.

In act 2 MacBeth feels guilty for murdering the king in one quote it said " But wherefore could not i pronounce "amen" i had most need of blessing and amen stuck in my throat" This quote basically shows how guilty Macbeth feels about the whole situation. From what i read he regrets what he's done. I think he should have done it just so he can become king. Him wanting to be king is going to be the reason he die.

I really liked act 2 it had alot of action and it's getting more interesting. I think in act 3 all the bad things are bout to happen. I think Macbeth going to get killed in Act 4. I say this because he is doing to much and now it's all going to crash down on him. And i have a feeling it's not going to be good.
