These pages help you understand the language (slang) that they spoke back then and how they would word play in their stories. They also shows you strategies on how to read the stanzas and not get stuck questioning what the character meant.

Much Ado about nothing

On this page it says how Shakespeare's play has been produced for more than a couple hundred years and has been brought to life through performances. With these plays being performed in theaters for many generations there have been many more questions asked. This page also talks about Lady Macbeth and Lady Macbeth who assisted her husband into killing their king, with this scene it has the actor asking if Lady Macbeth is an inhuman monster, an evil beauty, or more than a monster.

In this page it describes how they make the plays more realistic and it allows the audience to be immersed into the play themselves. Throughout the adaptations of 'Macbeth' up to modern times, it allows audiences from different backgrounds to enjoy the play. This also helps create a sense of realism for the audience when they are able to connect with the way the play is portrayed. For example,the 1935 productions when it was set in a Haiti setting. Lastly, when directors make their own production of the play they are showcasing to their audiences the point of view they think of when it comes to the play. As well as adapting to what the audience may want.

The New Globe (Page 251)

On this page it indicates that "Building the replica of Shakespeare's Globe was the American actor Sam Wanamaker's dream." this globe looks exactly like the original globe. The New Globe was opened almost four centuries after the original Globe opened, the actors even performed lines cited from Henry V. For Sam Wanamaker's dream to come true it took a lot of years fundraising and construction for it to open, they made this New Globe almost exactly like the original. They specifically said "They made it all of wood with a thatched roof and lime plaster covering the walls but the modern-day groundling stand is open to the skies."

The Globe (250-251)

There is a lot of history on the original globe, I mean this is where William Shakespeare had his most popular plays performed although according to these pages there were some downside to the original globe. In the pages it explains that there were no "surviving drawings from the time or detailed written descriptions." it also states that "The building was small enough for the actor to be heard but William Shakespeare's plays were so popular that the performances attracted around 2,500 to 3,000 people." but the downside of the amount of people being there was that some people could only see the backs of actors and can probably barely hear what they are saying. This page says that it was probably hard for people when the theatre was packed because they say "People in this era didn't bathe or change their clothes very often". These pages also indicate the original Globe didn't have set lights and they said "Plays were performed in the bright afternoon sunlight" this helped them see but I also questioned how they made some scenes scary or creepy but the pages say " The playwright's words alone had to create moods like the one in the eerie first scene in Macbeth." which answered my question pretty fast while I was reading. Sadly the end of the first original Globe was during a play, the page says "The first Globe met its demise in 1613, when a cannon was fired as a part of the performance of Henry VIII ignited the theaters thatched roof. everyone escaped unharmed but the Globe burnt to the ground. The theater was rebuilt but the Puritans had it permanently closed in 1642." This was the history of the Original Globe that William Shakespeare's plays were performed in.

2 Reasons why you should watch Macbeth

Macbeth has a lot of valuable lessons about life and politics but Macbeth can also be a fun eerie thriller to read. Let me explain why I think Macbeth has valuable lessons, one Macbeth shows how greedy a person can be and what they will do to get what they want no matter the price, two they show how guilty a person can feel after committing a bad deed or assisting in a bad deed, three this play shows that people can be two faced and they can betray you. This play would also shine light on real life problems that would be happening like the american mafias abusing power to get their way or with WWI when Hitler was abusing power and convincing the German army to be part of WWI. With all of these the play Macbeth would be a great thriller because it has a lot of gore and a really good plot, these play also has very dark twist and plays with your emotion on how to feel about the characters.
