Screen cast assignment by Lea Sander Thomsen https://padlet.com/lst3/5cuebfcdn054 Macbeth en-us 2018-02-05 11:58:07 UTC 2018-02-08 19:06:50 UTC hello@padlet.com The Setting lst3 https://padlet.com/lst3/5cuebfcdn054/wish/228059692 The witches are part of nature and rising from it: “The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, and these are of them” and vanish into it “Into the air; and what seemed corporal, melted as breath into the wind.”
The first line that Macbeth says is important to the setting, because it shows their encounter/second time he meets the witches. There is connection with scene one and scene 3 and this can be seen in this quotation  “Foul is fair, and fair is foul“. It can be seen that from scene one to scene 3 the nature is starting to change → Scene 3: So foul and fair, a day I have not seen. Therefore the nature is relevant in the setting, because the nature is reacting to what is happening and we can see this in the setting. This is the  start of the disruption of order → “The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, these are of them“

  • “So withered and so wild in their attire” - they are not dressed like normal people → they are something else and has something to do with heathens.
  • “That look not like th’ inhabitants o’ the earth” - shows that Macbeth and Banquo are aware that the witches aren't necessarily the same as them → humans 
  • “You should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so” - The witches look both like men and women → they are disrupting/not following the Great Chain of Being because we can’t categorize them as either a man or a woman.
  • “The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, these are of them“ → shows that they have some kind of power, magical power → they seem unnatural. → heathen religion. 
  • Look like someone corporal but they vanish into nothing - mysterious! “Into the air; and what seemed corporal, melted As breath into the wind.”

    - Come from the underground.

    Adressed with a question mark - is it even possible to address them? (13, 41-43). Imagination? 

    Doubting their existence: “Speak if you can: - What are you?” (p. 13, 48): not sure who/what they are, imagination again. 

    “Are ye fantastical” (p. 15, 53): questions their existence. ]]>     2018-02-05 11:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lst3/5cuebfcdn054/wish/228059757     Macbeth lst3 https://padlet.com/lst3/5cuebfcdn054/wish/228059779 About to skip some steps. Prophesised that he will be king: 
    • Thane of Glamis. 
    • Thane of Cawdor.
    • Soon to be King.

    “I know I am thane of Glamis; But how of Cawdor? The Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman; and to be king stands not within the prospect of belief no more than to be Cawdor.” - does not understand the witches’ mysterious prophetic speech, as he does not know that the Thane of Cawdor has been killed. To him, the prophecy of him becoming king is as unbelievable as him gaining the title Thane of Cawdor (it is as unbelievable as the former Thane of Cawdor is alive and well). This later fulfillment of their prophecy also makes Macbeth believe he will become king and thereby makes him take action by it (and later this prophecy is also fulfilled, just as the witches said).
