I am using just two different voices during this play, one for each of my characters. I am using a very positive up beat voice for the North Witch. I chose to do a positive voice because she is supposed to be the good witch, so in my mind I think of a good witch sounding nice and being really helpful. I chose to do a deep voice for the guard. I chose a deep voice for the Guard, because I have decided to play a man, no one talked me into it, I’ve just never played a different sex role before and thought it would be a nice

Macbeth states, " the service and the loyalty I owe in doing it pays itself(I.iv.25) To avoid being taken advantage of, Macbeth must demonstrate that he is not weak. He fulfills this by taking the cowardly way out and murdering Duncan King of Scotland. He acts out because he is jealous and feels as if he deserves to be king. At this point once Macbeth displays that he is no longer loyal to his once King of Scotland, who said " for brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name"(I.ii.95). A disloyal Macbeth cannot accept the promotion to thane of Cawdor, so he get greedy and does the unthinkable.

Shakespeare’s play ‘Macbeth’ is about the leading male protagonist succumbing to his ambition and need for power. Though Macbeth is liable for his own actions, he is not solely responsible for the events that eventually result in his downfall. Macbeth is corrupted by his wife, Lady Macbeth, as well as the three weird sisters. Macbeth’s contribution towards his downfall is his strong ambitious nature. Lady Macbeth is the person who induces Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan. The three weird sisters (witches) play with Macbeth’s ambitious nature and sense of security. Macbeth’s downfall is due to himself and two external factors.
This speech is one that is one of the most revealing in Macbeth - it illustrates Lady Macbeth’s values throughout the beginning of the play. Her anger when Macbeth tells her he does not want to continue with the plan to murder Duncan demonstrates the importance that she places on loyalty and keeping of word. “I would…dash’d the brains out, had I so sworn.” - Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth’s willingness to sacrifice her own child should she have promised to do so is a demonstration of valuing loyalty - not only to people, but to her own word. This anger is also displayed through her telling Macbeth that his decision makes him less than a man, evidence of her belief that men were supposed to be ruthless and cunning. This belief was founded earlier in the play, where Lady Macbeth calls on the spirits to ‘unsex her’. Furthermore, Lady Macbeth criticises Macbeth for attempting to back out of the plan just when the time was right to commit the murder, which she planned herself. This
“Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.” – Buddha.

Syfy is what all hit movies or books revolve around this era in time. It over the many years has become the most popular genre of fiction.

When studying literature or reading a play, our attention is drawn to the protagonist or antagonist. Shakespeare directs our attention onto heroism, which can be seen across all of his plays like Macbeth or Julius Caesar. The protagonists Macbeth and Banquo conquer the evils that face them throughout the plot. However, the nature of violence that takes place throughout Shakespeare’s plays is in relation to“the source of the killing of the soul”(Macbeth and the Nature of Evil). In Macbeth, Macbeth is known as a superhuman warrior, the characteristics of being brave and having ambition. The main reason evil stirs up violence can be seen as examples in Macbeth and Julius Caesar, which is caused by “evil being incompatible with humanity” (Shakespeare’s Play Themes). The murders in Macbeth and Julius Caesar are both examples of the rotation of the natural order.
At the very beginning of the play, Lady Macbeth is provoked by the letter she receives by Macbeth and starts plotting the murder of Duncan. She also wishes she were a man such that she could commit the murder all by herself saying so in Act 1 Scene 5, “Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty” (Macbeth 1.5.36-52). She appeals to these spirits to remove all aspects of her femininity and seeks to gain power through the prophecy of the witches. Her fear about the ability of her husband to commit the murder is subdued in her designated gender. Lady Macbeth manages her feminine power through her sensuality and pretended weakness through her fainting streak at the notice of Duncan’s death. Manipulation, usually through sexuality is often depicted as the source of women’s power still Lady Macbeth uses this power of hers to commit murder, a masculine demonstration of power. Lady Macbeth in her soliloquy about the planning of Duncan’s death refers to her husband as an individual who plays honestly and does not engage in wrongdoing.
Laurence Sterne once wrote, “No body, but he who has felt it, can conceive what a plaguing thing it is to have a man’s mind torn asunder by two projects of equal strength, both obstinately pulling in a contrary direction at the same time.” This passage embodies one of the over arching themes of Macbeth. The character Macbeth, in Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, could easily identify with this passage due to the fact that he is pulled in opposite directions by both his desire to do what is right and his desire for power.
Lady Macbeth is the most interesting and complex character in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. She is, in fact, the point on which the action pivots: without her there is no play.
Orange County is a wealthy county in the state of California. The protagonist of the bankruptcy was the long time Treasurer-Tax Collector Robert Citron, who was in charge of the investment pool that was worth $7.5 billion dollars. In the 20 years before 1994, Citron made impressive achievements upon the management of investment management. The overall return of the investment pool, and the treasury Commingled Pool of Orange County was much greater than the performance that represented the national average funds’ rate of return. Citron’s strong record of accomplishment was the reason why he could be re-elected for seven consecutive elections. Due to keeping great performance in almost 8 years, everybody had confidence in his investing strategies and even the department of supervision of municipal funds did not need him to report at the annual funds review meeting. Since then, nobody queried him and his funds management; Citron’s investing strategy became more risky.
As he degenerates, he becomes more deluded about his invulnerability and more emboldened. What he gains in will and confidence is counterbalanced and eventually toppled by the iniquitous weight of the events he set
An individual’s imagination is an incredible and persuasive influence on his or her actions. Imagination is defined by Google as “the. . . action of forming new images or concepts . . . not present to the senses.” Many tales and stories have a protagonist with a game-changing imagination. Imagination often persuades people to think one way or another, even though it is often obvious that the reality is much different from their perception. In William Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, the main character is often influenced by his imaginative mind, and evidence of this can be found in three scenes: act 2, scene 2 after the murder of king Duncan; act 3, scene 4 when banquo’s ghost haunts the feast; and act 5, scene 3 before the final battle.
