Sprinting with my shoulders sagged from the weight of my backpack that was virtually bursting with books and the worries about an upcoming Macbeth paper, I quietly pushed open the doorways of my parents' Chinese restaurant and bolted to the kitchen. I was late. I quickly plopped my backpack next to a bag of frozen chicken, changed into my uniform, and manned the front counter. For the next seven hours, my customers will be greeted with a zealous "Taipei Tokyo, how can I help you" while I simultaneously try to count the syllables of Macbeth's soliloquy with my fingers.

Uribe Valverde 10th Honors Literature Mrs.Hanson 3/12/15 Macbeth: Shakespeare’s Nature of Evil The power of evil can physically and emotionally destroy a person’s sense of self causing them to focus on one's own wants and greed.

The Curse of Macbeth Macbeth also known as The Scottish Play charts the bloody rise to power and tragic downfall of the warrior Macbeth. The tragedy of Macbeth is considered so unlucky that it is hardly ever called by name inside the profession (Hirtle). The curse is more or less the hapless events that happens during the production of the play. It is referred to be bad luck to quote from the play or to use any sets, costumes, or props from a performance of the story. The play partly acquired its evil reputation because of the weird sisters/witches and because tradition traces a long line of disasters back to its premier on August 7, 1606 (Hirtle).

In the book Macbeth written by Williams Shakespeare, the element of the supernatural plays a key role in the story line and also the outcome of many of the characters that you meet. From the very first scene that the witches and apparitions are introduced, they are already impacting how the story will end.

The supernatural is undoubtedly the sole reason for Macbeth’s changed fate which then leads to his demise. The only reason that they are helping Macbeth is for their own pleasure, they have no interest in whether or not things will turn out well for him.

What qualities makes a person good or bad? Researchers of psychology define evil as, “dehumanization, diffusion of responsibility, obedience to authority, unjust systems, group pressure, moral disengagement,and annuity.” These reasons along with background information of a subject helps to identify why a subject may turn evil.

According to the five year study of world-renowned psychologist, Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues, they were able to break up what they found the making of a “good” person to be. “Simply put, then, the key to heroism is a concern for other people in need—a concern to defend a moral cause,

Eventually, the crime begins to wear down Lady Macbeth and she slowly begins to lose her mind. Feelings of guilt and paranoia flood her thoughts even when she is asleep. Lady Macbeth is last seen sleepwalking through the castle and shouting nonsense. “Out, damned spot! Out, I say!--One: two: why, then, ‘tis time to do’t.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?--Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him” (Act V sc. i liness 39-44). Here the readers see how bad Lady Macbeth’s mental state has become as she tries to wash away an invisible stain of Duncan’s blood from her hands. By the end of the play, Lady Macbeth has confessed her role in the murder and she dies. “Of this dead butcher and his fiendlike queen, Who, as ’tis thought, by self and violent hands Took off her life…” (Act V sc. viii lines 69-71).

My group and I came to the agreement that we would do our performance on Act 4 Scene 1 from Macbeth. The group I worked with consisted of Dulce, Giselle, Laura, and Kelly and we all got together at Laura’s house to film our presentation. We all chose the lines we wanted to perform and memorized them for our final performance. During our rehearsals most of us started to get frustrated due to not being able to memorize part of our lines. However, we all encouraged each other to be patient and help one another with the lines. Furthermore, once we got our lines together we started to film

Within 1601-1605 William Shakespeare produced, what is said to be, the four wings of his spirit in the tragic division: Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and Lear. Shakespeare captures current beliefs, political history, and cultural events in his plays.
