I think the old witches was the best one, because it was original. They where old and looked very creepy. I didn't like the nurse witches, the girl witches, and the male witches because non of them caught my attention. the nurse witches was very creepy and scary. the girl witches sounded like vampire instead of witches. And the male witches i did not like because its suppose to me females not males.

Questions

 How do the right questions help you access text better? What difficulties did you find asking questions?
 
 
   Right questions guide you to the right answer. Educated questions have educated answers. It is very difficult to find the right questions or even to answer a question. Questions also leads to understand the text better. Questions are important because that can be a way of checking your progress.

Ambition


Create your own argument: Whose ambition is driving this killing of Duncan, really? It is clear that neither character is telling Duncan or Banquo how they really feel, but do they tell one another?  Be sure to pick lines that show you both direct and indirect evidence for your argument.  
 
I think that lady macbeth is ambitious and she is the one driving macbeth to kiil Duncan. The characters dont tell  each other what their intentions really are.I thinkl both characters are confused.

Manliness

Discuss the question, what does it mean to be a “man”?  Do you agree with Lady Macbeth’s view? Or do you think Macbeth’s consideration is more “manly”?
  
    To be a man you need to be courageous and honest,loving and caring. everyone has different difinition for a man. Because not everyone thinks the same. Lady macbeth difinition of a manly man is wrong. I dont think you have to be a serial killer to be manly. You can be a loving person and be more manly.

Directors

What are the factors that influence how a director presents a scene? Why do you think different directors see things so differently?

What do you think?

Describe the process you took to present your scene.  What went well? Not so well? What would you do differently next time you had to do a scene?
 
    What went well with my scene was that i memorized my lines.what didnt go so well was coordinating with my partners.Next time i will prepare better and make plans before going on stage. What didnt go well was that some of the scripts were not edited. Next time i will plan things better and practice more.

      Make and explain your prediction: What will Macbeth do about Banquo? 
   I think macbeth will kill banquo because he thinks banquo is going to get in his way. I think he is going to kill everyone he thinks is a threat to him. Banquo told macbeth that he bacame king in a mistirious way. Since then macbeth knew that he had to kill banquo in order to get rid off his problems.

               Are Macbeth’s paranoia due to his own weakness or a consequence of what he did?

       Macbeth's paranoia is due to the consequences of what he did. He sees banquo right after he dies. That means that he feels guilty for killing his best friend. So from that point on macbeth paranoia won't let him live in peace.Macbeth paranoia won't let him  alone but that doesn't stop him from killing more people.
                        Who is weaker? Macbeth or Lady Macbeth?  Why?
   
                    Lady Macbeth is weaker than Macbeth. lady macbeth is weaker because she let the crimes that she and macbeth commited  get in her heqad. She killed her self that is a sign of weakness. She couldn't handle the guilt that she took her life. Also she sleep walk which also meant that the guilt was killing her. She showed that she was very strong at the biginning of the play and macbeth as a wimp. But at the end of the play is her the one that is weak and killed her self to end with her torture.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."

                                             Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."

             I believe is never good to have to much power because it ain't good. With power comes responsibility and  certain challenges and decision that will affect you or benefit you. Macbeth and lady Macbeth wanted power so in order to do that they had it to take certain people out of the way. Macbeth had it to kill the king Duncan in order for him to take the throne.Absolute power will corrupt the way you think,the way you act, and the way you feel about your self.

           Macbeth is a result of having to much power. The power went over his hes head. He was so scared that Banquo would turn him in and he would lose all his power. That power was so powerful that he didn't even care about killing his best friend. That power changed him in such a huge way that i guess he didn't realize until it was to late. He didn't think about the consequences that would come with killing his friend. He was so guilt that he would see Banquos ghost while no one else did.
           
           Lady Macbeth was another result of power corrupting everything. She didn't care at what cost her husband got to be king. She would act all extra nice to King Duncan. She finally had him where she wanted. She did not look back to think about it she went along with it like a cold blooded person. She had no mercy and she never looked back for anything she was so over taken by the power that she didn't think about anyone but her self.

           when you are poor and you work your way to the top and become powerful you forget where you came from. you start to treat people that where just like you like savages. You don't see that you where once in their spot to. You feel no pity no mercy for those people you just don't care anymore because you are on the top and not on the low. You think of them as less than a dog. You don't dare to even give a dollar to any charity that needs it you rather waste it on something else. You really don't realize you have changed in such a great way.
           
            we can see that both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth cheated to achieved power and could not control the power they have received. They didn't not care about the consequence that their acts would bring them afterwords. In real life people achieve poor and do not know what they are going to do with it. They really cant look clearly with all that power in their hands. Those three examples are examples of what happens when you have to much power and let it go over your head.
