The context of this quote is when Macbeth is talking aside after hearing the witches' prophecies. After the first prophecy came true, this is where he first starts to slightly question if he should take things into his own hands when it comes to his fate. However, my initial reaction to seeing the quote was different than the actual meaning of it. I thought the quote meant that whatever may come through the day, despite how rough it is, time still moves on. This is the reasoning behind my choice, I thought the quote was relatable through my interpretation of it.]]> 2016-11-13 18:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137212721 300018 https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137214334 After receiving the quote for my project, I had to figure out when to use it in a conversation. Last week, my sister came home from college and caught up with me. She majors in biology, which is often difficult and that day she was expressing her distress about a very difficult course she is taking. My sister was worrying at the thought of not receiving a good grade. I then replied with, "come what may, time and hour run through the roughest day." Obviously, she knew I did not come up with that on my own, so her initial reaction was to ask me where the saying was from. I explained to her that the quote was from Macbeth. I thought it was a good time to throw in the quote because of her distress and because it emphasizes just letting things be. In a way, if fate wants her to get the grade she wants, then she will. However, no matter how tough her class is, it will eventually come to an end. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137214334 300018 https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137216279 1) In the recent election, Democratic candidate, Hilary Clinton used Twitter to state "whatever happens, happens, thank you for tonight." This article relates to the Macbeth quote because Clinton is referring to the fate of the election and expressing that no matter the outcome, she still appreciates the experience.

2) A recent article by 247 Sports was about football player quarterback Jay Cutler form the Chicago Bears. Cutler had been absent from football because of an injury and many people were concerned about his future with the team. Cutler states "whatever happens at the end of the year, it's supposed to happen and we'll go accordingly." This article relates to the quote because Cutler is essentially emphasizing letting things run their course and that if things are meant to be then it will be. http://chi.247sports.com/Bolt/Jay-Cutler-on-future-with-Bears-Not-a-real-concern-of-mine-48508040
3) Cristiano Ronaldo was also recently interviewed about winning this year's Ballon d'or, which is a football awards given to the best player of the year. When asked if he thinks he will win, Ronaldo responded "Of course I do, but it's not up to me...I don't obsess over it. Things come naturally." When I came across this article, I felt as though it was related to this quote because of his emphasis on leaving it in the hands of who decides the winner and to let things come "naturally." http://www.espnfc.com/real-madrid/story/2993682/cristiano-ronaldo-managing-real-madrid-in-future-not-out-of-the-question]]> 2016-11-13 19:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137216279 300018 https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137225243 A song that came to my mind that relates to this quote is "Let it Be" by the Beatles. The main lyrics that are repeated throughout the song is "let it be, let it be, let it be." I found this song to relate to the quote because of Macbeth's emphasis on letting things happen on their own. Another lyric that is frequently stated throughout the song is, "there will be an answer." When Macbeth is using this quote he is thinking about the answer and the possibilities that will allow the second prophecy to come true. Ultimately, the song "Let it Be," fits this quote because of Macbeth's decision to leave things to work out for themselves rather than shape it himself.

Macbeth uses the quote after contemplating if the second prophecy will happen on it's own or if he will have to murder Duncan to achieve it. After dismissing the idea of killing the king, he states "come what may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day."Ultimately Macbeth means that he will leave things to "fate" and "chance." So instead of trying to intrude on what will happen to him, he will let nature run it's course and decide for him. He is also emphasizing the idea that whatever happens happens and even the most difficult of days reach an end. This quote is ironic because Macbeth does the opposite of this, his wife and him take matters into their own hands to ensure that Macbeth achieves the crown. I find this quote to be significant to me because I will often stress over what could happen rather than just letting things work out for themselves and I will sometimes think that the most difficult things will never end. ]]> 2016-11-14 01:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/300018/30wvqx966mix/wish/137246429
