1. Do you feel sorry for Lady Macbeth? Why or why not?
No. I hate her guts shes arrogant and controlling and hypocritical. Most definitely lacking in intelligence. Shakespeare wrote her from a very sexist standpoint.
2. What do you think about the character of Macbeth? Was he a good guy before he met the witches, or do his actions imply that he was always capable of dark deeds? Is he to blame for his actions, or are the witches really to blame?
I like Macbeth his is the epitome of humanities flaws. Mostly hypocrisy and ignorance. He was never a 'good guy' his greed for power and influence was still the same though he did not acknowledge it for fear of what he would look like to others. I think it was Lady Macbeth that 'made him evil' not the witches, since she forced him to initially acknowledge his desire for power. Of course he is to blame for his actions in the real world, but the play is about prophecy so in reality no one is to blame for his actions as his fate was already decided.
3. Is there a personal incident in your life you wish could erase?
Yes. and you are missing another 'you' in the above question.
Envision Lady Macbeth wringing her hands unable to get the imaginary blood off of them. She is haunted by her participation in the grisly deed. Do you think her response is plausible? Yes she was not understanding of the real-world affect her actions would have, and as with most dreams she was not prepared to face reality. Do you think you would be consumed with guilt yourself if you found yourself wrapped up in such a heinous crime? Prove to me that it is heinous and I would not be nervous. I would probably become insane from the guilt.
4. Have you ever experienced a predicted dream? ??Uhh, in hindsight I have recoginzed parallel ideas and concepts between a dream and reality, yes. Has anyone ever suggested something about your future that has actually come true? Of course, but the merit of this random guesses is quiestionable. Did their comments influence your actions and the results that followed? Consequences follow for every action.
