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.

Act 1 of MacBeth





Act one was mostly an introduction to the characters, so far i like most of the characters. At the beginning of the act they start off talking about some witches. Which caught my eye immediately because the witches were chanting spells. The first Act also introduce the reason tho why they would want to kill Duncan. They want to kill Duncan so Macbeth could become king but they didn't know the witches would soon be telling them what they fore saw happening. Banquo was also introduced he was the thane of Scotland. In one quote it says "thou shalt get kings, though thou be one, so all hail Macbeth and Banquo." this quote shows how the witches predict things that are going to happen.



The most interesting part of act one was when the witches start telling Macbeth that he was going to be king and he's rally shocked. It seemed like he didn't believe them and i don't blame him. I probably would be shocked to if someone approached me telling me my future. I think that now Macbeth know this he will be trying tho live up to what the witches think. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next.



At the end of act 1 Lady Macbeth tried to manipulate Macbeth into killing the king so he could become king. I think he shouldn't let his wife manipulate him. If she want the king killed she should do it her self. And i think MacBeth is taking the whole situation to serious anyways. I would never kill someone so i can come ahead of them.

My Renassiance Blog



The Renaissance
When I read the Renaissance it made me say, " I know this is going to be interesting" the first thing I noticed is that a lot of the great paintings were done during the renaissance time like the birth of Venus. I didn’t know Michelangelo lived during the renaissance time that’s very interesting because he did many great paintings. I learnt that the group Humanist who studied Latin and Greek classics to find answers to live better lives. It seems like the humanist stared the reformation, after the reformation. During the reformation they where trying to reform the Catholic Church. It was interesting to know that the reformation was strengthened just by Johannes Guthenberg's invention of the printing press.
Without the printing press, reformation would have never happened, because during the renaissance time people didn’t have books because they were so expensive but, when the printing press was invented it made it cheaper and easier for the people to read their own books. That means people could believe what they wanted and it made a big change during the reformation. It seems like catholic was the most major religion during the renaissance time but as the Reformation started this changed, people started straying away from the catholic religion because it was corrupting. After the printing press they no longer had to rely on the pope to translate things for them.’
The most interesting thing I read was, when I read about King James. King James was a very interesting person to me. He had six wives, two he divorced, two he had beheaded, one died on her own, and one outlived him. It was said that he wanted a son to take his heir and Jane Seymour had his first son. It just crazy how he only wanted these women to have a son for him. I guess back then love wasn’t important people only cared about who was king or who was queen and I think that is so rude. I still think that the renaissance is going to be very interesting and I can’t wait to read more about it.
