Not only is this quote referenced in two distinct scenes, acting as a double-meaning word play, but it also is a leading attribution to the meaning of the play.  The reasoning for selecting this particular quote is not limited to those reasons however, but it is also due to the appeal of its relevance to today's society. This quote seemed to have the most alluring qualities more so than the other quotes did, due to its critical prospects in the play and its multiple interpretations, thus justifying my rationale for selecting it. ]]> 2017-11-08 04:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/204671073 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/204674339 When first using this quote in a conversation with a friend, they had been aware of the quote as it sounded familiar  to them, thus not having a surprising reaction. I proclaimed it in a situation during which she had been telling me about her cousin that had been grounded for not attending school. Thus, I responded with the quote, and she simply explained that she was familiar with the quote yet had no recollection of what it meant. ]]> 2017-11-08 05:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/204674339 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/204674629 In relevance to today's modern world, Macbeth's lines operate as a basis to the barbaric world that is evident today. Sheer violence and force prevail in a world that is purely uncivilized, in which one ferocious crime is vindicated by another. An Alabamian inmate by the name of Vernon Madison was recently sentenced to death for the murder of Julius Schulte (Nytimes.com). In spite of a certified psychologist proclaiming that Madison was unaware of his crime due to his dementia and mental impairments, the 66 year-old inmate was convicted for murder and was castigated with the death penalty. In correlation to the quote, Madison's case is a model of violence breeding more violence, as Macbeth proclaims. "Blood will have blood" (Act III, Scene IV), asserts Macbeth, in reference to his wrong doing of killing Duncan, that he recognizes will cause him to face consequences. In Madison's situation, likewise, his actions of murdering Julius Schult led to his sentencing to death as punishment for his behavior. This vicious circle of violence will everlastingly continue, and can only be broken through ending the need of blood for more blood. However, as evident in today's society and the 17th century, no such thing has been able to occur; Macbeth pronounced, "Blood will have blood", and was clearly evidenced by Vernon Madison's case along with Macbeth's. ]]> 2017-11-08 05:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/204674629 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205029993 Released in 2006, composed by Justin Timberlake, the song "What Goes Around Comes Around" was produced by Timbaland and Nate Hills. The song features a continuous verse of, "What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around", that is implying the concept of karma, as the quote by Macbeth interprets. In context, by Macbeth asserting the lines, "It will have blood they say, Blood will have blood." (Act III, Scene IV), he is, in essence, bringing to light his affirmation of his misconduct that he acknowledges he must face consequences for. This ideology is reflected in the beliefs of karma, to which one act of misbehavior will lead to another in return. Although it may not be as violent as it had been in Macbeth's case, where his murderous actions kindled more violence, the verse from the song is in relation to one cheating on their spouse, who will then suffer consequences for their misconduct, due to the universal truth that, "What goes around, comes around", as Justin Timberlake vocalizes. Timberlake's companion was cheated on, and his response had been his belief that karma will eventually take its toll on the one who was mistaken, as emphasized in the song. In associating the song to the quote, the acts of Timberlake's friend cheating is similar to Macbeth killing Duncan, as both are incidents of unethical behavior, and both individuals are aware of the concept of punishment for one's misconduct. ]]> 2017-11-08 19:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205029993 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205124849 Alongside hands and blood being key motifs in the play, the photograph of bloodied hands are a reflection of Macbeth's in the scene after killing King Duncan, and how that individual deed sprouted his over ambition that led to his recognition of the quote and valid truth that "Blood will have blood."

Proving this, is a recent white supremacist based rally in the heart of Virginia, Charlottesville, that sparked about eight weeks after a violent rally in the same area. Motivated by advocating for white supremacy, the 250 white marchers were equipped with torches and guns and began marching across the Nameless Field, creating a violent disruption in the usually quiet college town. Although there had been an evident history of silent protests being effective in advancing their goals, the white supremacists had chosen to take a different route that involved the use of racial slurs and violence, and eventually, " With a roar, the marchers charged through the line, swinging sticks, punching and spraying chemicals." (Washingtonpost.com). Reacting to this raging protests, a group of nearly 30 students, " had locked arms around the base of the statue to face down the hundreds of torchbearers" (Washingtonpost.com), and chaos then followed. This is an intricate example of how violence, will simply result to more violence. Macbeth proclaimed, "Blood will have blood" (Act III, Scene IV), with an intention of signifying that his violent acts of committing regicide, will only lead to more destructive acts, that being the united men fighting against Macbeth. Those that commit crimes should, in fact, be punished, yet the question remains whether it should be a violent punishment. Macbeth savagely killing King Duncan resulted in the violent killing between Macbeth and other character that united against him. Likewise, the Charlottseville incident is an example of how "Blood will have blood" (Act III, Scene IV), in that violence of the white supremacists sparked violence from the counterprotestors. In essence, is it crucial to note that today, and in the Shakespearean time, violence seemed to only be stopped through more violence. ]]> 2017-11-09 04:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205132733 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205136081 Another current event that aligns with this quote is the recent Texas shooting that left a small town devastated. Mr. Kelley,26, was a troubled individual prone to domestic violence and animal cruelty, and has previously been admitted into a psychiatric hospital. He had been seen as a danger to others and himself, and on Sunday, November 5th, the gunman had begun shooting inside the church, leaving 26 people dead, and 20 wounded, ranging from the ages of 1 to 77 (Nytimes.com). Mr. Kelley had plotted to kill his wife and his in-laws as they regularly attend that particular Sunday mass, but was only able to murder his grandmother-in-law. As the gunman was leaving the church, two citizens began to aim fire at him and were able to wound him, resulting in Mr.Kelley abandoning his firearms and departing with his car. Positioned in a state of chaos, Mr.Kelley saw suicide as his only option, thus shooting himself in the head, and was later found dead as his car crashed. One can spot numerous similarities in the occurrences of Macbeth and Mr.Kelley, and their preceding thoughts after their unethical behavior, reflected in Macbeth's quotes. In the play, Macbeth had killed King Duncan, which had just been the beginning of his misconduct that led to the consequences evident in the final scene of the play. Correspondingly, Mr, Kelley's misconduct commenced when he took action in shooting the church, that was the inauguration of his wrongdoing. Following Macbeth's behavior, he was left with no choice than to commit suicide to face the consequences of his acts of regicide and murder, and his acknowledgment that, "It will have blood they say, Blood will have blood" (Act III, Scene IV), reflects his awareness of the theme that with every action comes a reaction. In the same manner, Mr.Kelley was left with no choice than to commit suicide, facing the penalty for his wrongdoing, echoing on the essence of consequences being faced after unethical behavior that both Macbeth and Mr.Kelley had done.  ]]> 2017-11-09 05:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205136081 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205144736 During a conversation with my mom, I had proclaimed the quote, but my mom had simply ignored the quote. She had no reaction to the quote, and simply continued with the previous conversation we had been having.]]> 2017-11-09 06:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205144736 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205144883 Another instance in which I had mentioned the quote in a conversation had been during a conversation in a classroom. As the teacher was teaching, I blatantly said, "Blood will have blood", and the teacher made the choice of ignoring my comment and continued with the lesson.]]> 2017-11-09 06:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205144883 3077851 https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205145488 The quote now is a reflection of every action in the world. With every action, comes a reaction, and that is true to everything in the world, thus providing this quote with a deeper meaning than what others may simply see as punishment to a crime. The action may be not necessarily have to be one that is considered unethical or improper, but it can be one that is cordial as well. The quote simply asserts that any deed, good or bad, has a reaction, and in Macbeth's case it had been one that was improper leading to his downfall in the play. The significance of this quote to anyone may be that it is crucial to think of each action as it has a consequences with choosing to do that certain act. In the barbaric world individuals live in today, we are faced with questions of what is considered ethical, unethical, violent, nonviolent, and we must begin to consider the repercussions of every deed. To Shakespeare, on the other hand, the quote may exhibit a different form of importance. To Shakespeare, this quote is a reflection on Macbeth's acts that emphasize the central message of the play, that ambition breeds destruction. To Shakespeare, "Blood will have blood", provides a sense of closure to the audience as it is placed in the appropriate scene that manifests the essence of the majority of the play. In addition, to me, this quote presumes high significance. From this point forward, this quote will have a deeper meaning in my mind that correlates to the modern world and not simply the 17th century, the time the quote was proclaimed. It essentially means to me how one should be aware of their actions, because there are always ramifications to every deed, and without careful consideration, one can be in a state of deterioration. Overall, this quote poses great significance to each and every individual, as it carries a strong meaning, deeper than implied. ]]> 2017-11-09 06:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3077851/op4dp261rpvf/wish/205145488
