Macbeth: Act 4 

At first, I just thought it was a horrible deed but once I got more into thought I soon started to feel fear and sadness. I replace Macduff's family with my own and started to imaging their deaths, I literally cried for hours thinking multiple ways they could have die. And thanks to that disaster, I began to connect more with Macduff. At the begging of the play, I thought Macbeth was a easily manipulate and that he was kind a innocent but later I soon see him as a crazy lunatic and that innocents I kind a saw in the past was erase. I can kind a predict how everything was going to go down so I get kind a surprise.

At first the witches seek Macbeth out for fun but in act 4, Macbeth is the seeker and he listens with a dark heart instead of a honorable heart. In act 1 the witches wanted to tell him about his "density" without the permission of their master but this time they had permission and gave Macbeth a harder time. Macbeth who first didn't trust and believe now rely on the witches' words. I believe the witches indirectly change Macbeth. They didn't force him to change, they just say words and those words convince him to change. In order for it to be directly, they must has done a direct action that pushes him but they just use words which is a passive course of action.

The murderers say Macduff was a traitor to Macbeth. But Lady Macduff called Macduff a traitor because he wasn't there when they need them the most. She thinks he abandoned them, and that thought made her think he betray them. I do believe that Macduff is a traitor to Macbeth but not to his country and his family. The reason why is because Macduff didn't know that they were going to get murder and if they did  he would have come up with a different plan. As said earlier he wasn't  a traitor to his nation but he was a traitor to  Macbeth because he believe that Macbeth would ruin his country he went against the king and fought for his nation believing he was doing good.

leaders are the one that help shape the country, so if the leader has a twisted mind, his decisions can destroy the world. But if you have more than one leader shaping the country, there will be less damage and more control. For instance, the united states' government system. They check on one other and almost everything goes pass that tough system. But leader with full power can do whatever they want and most of the time leaders like Hitler take that power to their advantage. And his or other corrupted leaders' advantage can help destroy or rise a country.

Language, at the beginning the single sound of that term would cause myself to jump off a cliff into a shark infected sea. I never found the joy of the concept of sitting down and reading in silence. But having the right topic, can create wonders. One single book help shape my path into the cruel, occasionally truthful endorsement of law and  soon my  fixation inspired me to become a lawyer.

Even though i was in a Pre-AP English in middle school, i never really enjoy reading. Everyday before my birthday, my teacher, Mrs. Carson, force books down my throat hoping one will cleanse my dreadful idea of books. Romance books seem as an unrealistic sweet dream and the she would gave me were kiddish impractial horror stories that can pass as a down-version of Scooby Doo, and etc. Every book I read, I found flaws. But one week before spring break, she gave me a book called, “ The Adventures of Sherlock Homes” by Aurthur Concave Doyle. At first i thought Doyle’s book would classified as the rest, disappointing, dissatisfying, and a huge waste of time. But the very first sentence hook me faster than a cheetah running for it’s life. I finished that book in three or four days, and with this new amazement, an deep black that could have easily be mistaken for Alice’s black hole, led me to a new world of law and mysteries.

I soon read articles, watch documentaries, and I even started watching the news, all just to fill my hunger for Knowledge. I readed “on the law of war and peace”, Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction” ,and variety of books.  My research on law soon became a habit then metamorphose to an uncontrollable inclination of duty and this duty sculpt my dream job.

Macbeth: Act 5

          After killing King Duncan, lady Macbeth and Macbeth were crown as the new rulers of Scotland.   Lady Macbeth push toward the idea of murder has put them at the top but at what cost? In the play, Lady Macbeth has started the questioning her and her husband's actions. Not only has she started questioning but Macbeth's insanity has also took a toll on her mental/emotional state. Shakespeare wanted the audience to understand that Lady Macbeth started to regret her decision intensely, that she can't keep it in. By having her sleep walk and sleep talk (and other actions) connect to the quote "Sleep no more...Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more" ( act 2 scene 2 page 3). Macbeth said this quote after the bloody action that occurred that night.  Macbeth's quote finally reveal in act 5 scene 1, when lady Macbeth was sleep walking/talking. Macbeth quote tells that no murder crime or crimes on equal/beyond that deed level will never disappear from the human mind. Instead the memory of your action will creep and craw around the mind, forcing the person to remember repeatedly like a broken disk or a time loop as the Supernatural show's episode, Mystery Spot.  And these reminders crack the mind decreases the human's brain strength, which causes the human to go insane or depression. In Lady Macbeth case, she started to lose sanity. 

          I Believe the play's, Macbeth, climax was in scene one. Before act 5, the audience wouldn't guess that Lady Macbeth started sleep walking. Sure they might seen that she changed ever since the murder but out of all the possible ways the deed could affect her, sleep walking was at the bottom in the past. Also, after scene one everything soon began falling to the resolution. For instance, the doctor of course had to tell the husband that her wife needed God and that the doctor presence help end Macbeth's conversation to one of his subjects about important info. And because her didn't care for the info, Macduff and his army was able to attack swiftly and so on.

          Even though Shakespeare usually gives his tragic heroes an impressive dying speech, he didn't wrote Macbeths. Instead he gave Macbeth one speech in act 5 scene 5 that closest to the death speech. When Seyton leaves to investigate the scream, Macbeth was left alone. During his alone time, Macbeth started think about his past. the reason this factor is important is because most dying speeches involved the hero's life. and in Macbeth case, it was when his former self, " I almost forgotten what fear feels  like. there was a time when I would have been terrified by a shriek in night...". The reason about reviewing one's life in a dying speech is so important is because there're legend that before someone dies, they see they life flash before their eyes. Another factor a dying speech has would be his point of view of life or what he learned or sharing his personal opinion,          ( Seyton came back and gave Macbeth the news about his wife)  " life is nothing more  than an illusion". Before killing king Duncan, Macbeth had never thought that was life in such away, but after facing everything, he came to terms to this understanding. Lastly, this also have the audience a understanding about his mindset at this point which helps the readers connect or understand him.

          At first Macbeth 's quote ," life is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury./ Signifying nothing", irritated me since I believe no one's story isn't important. But as I soon kept on thinking, I soon kind of agree with him. I don't think life is told by an idiot, since everyone is a expert of living because they all lived. There might be lazy, slow, rude, and etc. people in the world but even they can learn a few things. Plus what right do people have the right to judge, only God has the power to judge. Sure, it's okay to have an opinion, but you can't classify that person by that opinion but only if you truly know that person. But I do agree that life is filled with sound and fury, but also love, sadness, happiness, and etc. Life can't be sum up with two or there words; life can't be sum up in infinity words because life means different to everyone. Because of that logic above, I soon understand that what life meant for Macbeth, an endless pain that can never stop. But I can't never agree with the last part, "...Signifying nothing", life isn't meaningless. Life holds many wonders for many people, just because there's a moment that horrible doesn't define one's life as nothing. Life isn't suppose to be easy, life is filled with both amazing and horrifying moments, and form each moment teaches the living something valuable. God didn't create life because he thought it was meaningless but because he believe it was valuable, and God wouldn't have created you if he didn't think life isn't worth it.
