Week 9 of Term 1 xD

And so, I'm going to update my Literature blog again about MacBeth again. Anyway, I'm going to explain and/or write about it in this sequence.

1: What is 'MacBeth' about?
2:Pick a favourite character. Justify.
3:What can you learn from 'MacBeth'?

The story of MacBeth started with three witches who came to meet and decided when they shall meet again but this time with MacBeth. When the war was taking place and was soon to be over, Captain went back to the castle where King Duncan was. He came to inform King Duncan the important events that took place during the war. He also told King Duncan how brave and merciless MacBeth was when he won the war. Then, about the second war from the Norwegian King after the MacDonwald war which in the end, both wars were won by MacBeth. And there was this man, Thane of Cawdor, who was a traitor. Afterwhich the Thane of Ross came to inform that the Norwegian King wanted his army men buried. However, he got to pay $10 000. And lastly, MacBeth won the title that once used to be Cawdor's.

MacBeth. His character traits of being brave and yet merciless. I admire him for having such a tough life yet he could still survive. It's a pity knowing the future because it could affect the mental state as knowing the future can make you think of what you're going to do. Despite that, he showed great perseverance in avoiding it till everything falls to the other worthy man who killed him in the end. Being merciless is tough. To be in such a state is also hard. Controlling the country ain't child's play. There was a huge responsibility ahead of him but he didn't let nature take its course. He was an impatient man. However, he did try his best to control the country. Well, there's a first time to everything right? You can't expect a man who just killed a King to be a perfect good hearted future king like King Duncan right? So don't expect things from people too much because you're only going to disappoint yourself.

I can learn to be brave when facing a problem because it ain't going anywhere but my head. Sometimes, being merciful isn't the best option but who are we to not do so? Anyway, we should learn not to be like MacBeth as he is an easily influenced man which is dangerous for teenagers like us.

Thank you very much for reading this blog post! Please do have a very nice day! :D

All hail MacBeth!

On the previous lesson, the whole of 2Respect revised the text on Act 1 Scene 2. It was about this Captain who came to inform King Duncan about the recent wars. Firstly, he told him that Macdonwald have been defeated by MacBeth and his army despite the Lady Luck always by his side. Secondly, ever since the first war against Macdonwald ended, the Norwegian King planned to steal the chance of attacking MacBeth with fresh new troops. And again, MacBeth ruled the second wave of war though their defenses were weak! Due to this second war, Captain was seriously injured and was in need of immediate attention to his wounds which brought him honour. The Norwegian King wanted their men to be buried because if they didn't, it is considered as disrespect and also dishonour towards the country. The Norwegian King have to pay $10 000 for this.

I think that the Norwegians should be ashamed of themselves as they planned to attack an another country who is weaker in defenses due to an another war. If they believe they could win the war, at least show some pride by attacking the other country that has proper defenses despite it being stronger or weaker. In my opinion, they don't deserve respect.
