The motive behind Lady Macbeth's plot to murder the king has been a topic generalized for decades: whether she truly was just a heartless monster with no human nature, like the first performance by Sarah Siddons, or if there is emotion behind that cold, black heart that has been driven by revenge and greed for past sins, as Marion Cotillard gave in 2015.

How relevant and realistic was the Shakespearian era? Pg 253

The art of Shakespeare has been attempted to duplicate or invented for centuries, even dating to the modern era, when current-day directors of plays or films will bring live animals on stage for authenticity, especially during Victorian-era adaptations like Shakespeare's. His work has still become a widely discussed topic even today by constantly getting remade into Hollywood or Bodway adaptations.

These adaptations have taken creative leaps into almost changing the entire story in which William Shakespeare first wrote but keep the consensus around the play's theme of violence and ambition leading to destruction and chaos to one's moral code.

Shakespearian language/text and how to read it (PG 256-257)

s85320_2_1 — 2024-10-22 16:19:48 UTC

When listening back to the language used during the Victorian era, especially in Shakespeare's work sounds almost intelligible and almost close to gibberish sometimes but it can be categorized in many different ways we use speech now. Pronouns like you and your would've been similar to thou, thee, and thy. In contemporary English, the common use would put the subject of the word before the verb like "What did you say?" whereas in Shakespearian language the syntax would change places to make a sentence sound more like "What say you?". Shakespeare also liked to use heavy run-on sentences as they weren't separated often but broken up into smaller sentence clauses with a semicolon.

William Shakespeare: The Poet and Playwright (PG 254)

s85320_2_1 — 2024-10-23 15:17:36 UTC

William Shakespeare was a one-of-a-kind type of poet and playwright driven by a high course amount of his literacy language even which caused him to be truly revolutionary during his time there were some misconceptions about him such as that his whole life was a mystery which isn't true. We know quite more about him compared to his fellow artists, being born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Northeastern London with his father John who was a well-off businessman causing his family to be financially stable.

This leads to how he got connected with theater and the arts for dramatics, which is still unknown, but it's documented when it began in 1594 when he became a part owner and the principal playwright of one of London's most successful theaters.

The retirement and Literacy record of William Shakespeare (PG 255)

s85320_2_1 — 2024-10-23 15:27:44 UTC

After having a successful run as a poet, Shakespeare retired in 1604 in his hometown of Stratford, but he would continue writing plays as he was well off enough to support this venture. He did this until his untimely demise came in 1616 when he passed away in the burning of Holy Trinity Church.

Shakespeare's literacy record isn't particularly known for letters or novels but for his wide record of poems and sonnets, this can also include the many plays he wrote and staged as well.

Macbeth - Justin Kurzel

s85320_2_1 — 2024-10-30 15:34:14 UTC

This was the best adaptation in my opinion because it shows a different aesthetic and feel compared to the others that attempted to mimic Shakespeare's original 'Macbeth". Justin Kurzel goes with a more thriller type of feel and gives emotion behind Lady Macbeth's actions to get the audience to feel sympathy for her after losing a child.

Language of Lady Macbeth

s85320_2_1 — 2024-10-31 16:42:05 UTC

Shakespeare characterizes Lady Macbeth as a person who appears and looks kind but actually has a shallow sense of morality or sinister side underneath. He uses metaphors to show how twisted she really is and lacks human empathy except for her own gain.

Fri, Oct. 4th / Ch. 28 "Those Who Don't"

s85320_2_1 — 2024-12-10 16:17:04 UTC

In chapter 28, Esperanza shows the most disdain in why she does not like the new setting she had surrounded herself with, I understand this because it's "obvious that her family outside of the neighborhood doesn't feel wanted. The line that shows this most is "But watch us drive into a neighborhood of another color and our knees go shakity-shake and our car windows get rolled up tight and our eyes go straight". The uncomfortable formality that Esperanza and her family feel is something many people think when they move and instantly feel disliked or even in this scenario racially profiled.
