We have been reading Shakespeare since our freshman year and I still have yet to find any interest in his writings. I do not understand anything that is being said without the help of Spark Notes and the teachers that have forced us to read his works. Why is it that we have to read Shakespeare? Oh right because he is like the greatest English writer of all time. But what does his works actually teach us? So far I have learned that death is better than not being able love someone, something about fairies, something about the most obedient wife, and now here I am trying to understand MacBeth. MacBeth so far has been described as this awesome knight who puts peoples heads on a stick. He gets some land and becomes Thane of Cawdor. Some weird witches predict that he will be king and now his wife wants him to kill Duncan. I think it will be interesting if he actually kills the king because like won't everyone know they killed him. Duncan is at his house so it will be quite obvious who committed the crime. Is this really how life was back in the 1500 and 1600s?Monday, February 16, 2015
