Essentially, Macbeth claims that he killed the grooms because his love for Duncan was so strong that he couldn't refrain from killing then. However, since it was Macbeth who truly committed this crime, the quote acts as a coverup for his actions.]]> 2016-11-15 00:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137587229 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137588340 After texting multiple people this quote in the middle of various conversations, the reaction I received mostly was fear, but I also received reactions of confusion. ]]> 2016-11-15 00:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137588340 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137589828 On November 8th, Donald Trump was named the presidential-elect of the United States against Hillary Clinton. In response to this, there has been many incidences of Trump supporters casting their racism on others as they celebrate Trump's victory and his ideals. In one case, on the campus of San Diego State University, two students criticized a Muslim woman while making comments about Trump. They proceeded to steal her car. ]]> 2016-11-15 01:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137589828 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137590649 This quote can relate to the movie True Romance. True Romance surrounds the character of Clarence Worley and a call girl, Alabama Whitman. After the two engage in sexual relations and decide to get married, they embark on a journey of toxicity as they involve themselves in a drug ring so that they can gain riches. Throughout the movie, both characters commit murder to cover up their actions, much like Macbeth did when he killed Duncan's grooms. The movie ends with the couple in a standoff with the police and gangsters, which they ultimately escape from after killing all of the police and gangsters. Essentially, this movie represents the violent and impulsive decisions that some may do for the sake of love. ]]> 2016-11-15 01:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137590649 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137591297 To me, this quote represents making stupid and impulsive decisions in the name of love. Love, in toxic relationships, can blind an individual, causing them to make regretful decisions that they believe will make their love for another person or thing known to the world, but will ultimately lead to their downfall. ]]> 2016-11-15 01:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137591297 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137598579 2016-11-15 02:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137598579 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137598873 2016-11-15 02:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137598873 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137599042 One of the most famous instances of people making bad decisions in the name of love comes from another one of Shakespeare's plays, Romeo and Juliet. In this instance,the characters commit suicide for one another because their love for each other was so strong. Macbeth's love for his spot as a king was so strong that he fought until the end for it, but it lead to his death.]]> 2016-11-15 02:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137599042 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137599492 Another example of stupidity that occurs in the name of love occurs in the hatred of many organized religions. In this case, Christians believe that they are showing their love for God by condemning homosexuals. However, their love is blinding them to what their religion truly teaches, which is love and acceptance for all. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137599492 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137600512 Another famous instance of toxic love leading to evil deeds can be seen in the notorious criminals, Bonnie and Clyde. The couple committed murder and robberies together, seeking fame and fortune, but their "violent love" ultimately lead to their demise. Macbeth's impulsive decisions, although not done in his love for another person but rather for his love of having the throne to himself, lead to his demise. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137600512 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137601042 In Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Houston the protagonist, Janie, repeatedly allows her husbands to abuse her because she loves them so much that she believes this abuse is a sign of love. This relates to Macbeth because although he is aware that his actions are unjust, he continues to murder so that he may keep what he loves most: his crown.]]> 2016-11-15 02:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137601042 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137601593 The results of the 2016 election have caused many people who have otherwise remained silent about their inner racism and hatred to come out and openly display it. At the University of Pennsylvania, all African American students were added to a group message that claimed there was going to be a lynching of all of these students. Unsurprisingly, the group message was created by Trump supporters and the group message itself was called 'Trump love.']]> 2016-11-15 02:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137601593 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137603947 On November 11th, 2016, a couple was found dead in their apartment in what was an apparent murder-suicide. The murder was committed due to a custody battle over their two children. The husband, instead of dealing with the custody battle, killed his wife and then himself. His impulsive decisions that were done for the sake of protecting his children display the blindness that love can cause; instead of protecting the children, he has caused emotional pain and trauma that will stick with these children forever. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137603947 jolie_shaw https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137605377 Another example of harmful actions done for love can be seen in alcoholics. Instead of drinking for the love of someone, they are drinking for the love of the feeling that the numbness of alcohol gives them. Although most alcoholics know that this action is hurting them, they continue to drink as they chase the feeling drunkness provides. This relates to Macbeth because even though he knows his actions are hurting not only him, but those surrounding him, he continues to do it so that he can get his ultimate desire which is his title as King of Scotland. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jolie_shaw/h7yy5n8s4wla/wish/137605377
