Patrick Stewart

out as much though as who he casted as the main roles and how they should portray them. Some things about his character I liked, however, I did have many complaints. Goold chose Patrick Stewart as Macbeth,Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth, and Sophie Hunter, Polly Frame, and Niamh McGrady as the three witches. Patrick Stewart is a great actor, but I did find it hard to get past his age. He was way too old for the part and was subpar compared to other movies I have seen him in. He plays Macbeth as a

performance from his actors. David Tennant, known to many as “Doctor Who,” gives us a Hamlet who is brashly mad but penetrates our hearts with sorrow for his tragedy although some argue that his ludicrousness makes his acting less genuine.[3] Patrick Stewart, on the other hand, gives a stellar performance as King Claudius, making him shrewdly righteous and steadfast, allowing room for King Claudius to scrupulously execute his malignancy. One outstanding aspect of this movie is the use of mirrors

In the Patrick Stewart mood movie the color scheme seem very dark. Its portrayed very dark so well that in reminded me of prison, and as I mention prison while Macbeth is in the kitchen in a different scene the walls are very old and they look like walls that are seen in prison movies. Most likely a basic wall that sets the mood to seem as if it's a prison. There wasn't much of a color scheme, however the colors seem very grayish and dark. There was hardly any bright colors to set the mood into something

Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, was made into a film by two different directors. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart interpretation of Macbeth were distinct and unique yet very similar. Ian McKellen version, an older version of Macbeth produced in 1971, was precisely what the audience would have expected the film of Macbeth to be. On the other hand, Patrick Stewart's version produced in 2010, is much more modern and would appeal to a younger audience. In Ian McKellen version of Macbeth, Judy Dench, who

Both Roman Polanski and Patrick Stewart have created their own twist to the original “Macbeth” movie and storyline. Roman Polanski added a modern twist. He uses more modern objects such as the chain with Jesus as his object that he sees in front of himself at the beginning of the murder scene. He also used a very different setting than Patrick, in that the scene was in a modern household. On the other hand, Patrick stewart stuck as close to the script as possible. His scenes, backgrounds and costumes

viewer's understanding of what's taking place. While the characters conversed with each other in the same old school english wordplay. What I really found fascinating was how Lady Macbeth, played by Kate Fleetwood and her husband Macbeth, played by Patrick Stewart, dramatized their plots to steal the throne. The lust for power portrayed by both creates suspense in the sense that most of their peers were oblivious to their true intentions, as they go on about to eliminate anyones

The Moment of Recognition in “Macbeth” and “Hedda Gabler” The drive to succeed, to have power, and to be in control are forceful things. So powerful that they can blind people – corrupt one's ambitions and morals, and make them walk straight off the path of success they planned for themselves. As seen in “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, and “Hedda Gabler” by Henrick Ibsen the urge for power, control, and success can overcome one's better judgement. The two plays tell a tragic story about the

In The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Notes from Underground, The Metamorphosis, Hedda Gabler, and “The Guest”, the reader is presented with an underlying theme of alienation. This state of alienation or estrangement is seen by the isolation of certain characters from a group or activity and their loss or lack of sympathy. We read about alienation in Kafka’s, The Metamorphosis where Gregor Samsa, the main character, is detached physically, emotionally, and psychologically from his family, job, and society

Hedda becomes more and more obsessed with controlling people as the play unfolds, gaining momentum on her manipulative actions until her intense fear of society and judgement (scandal) paralyzes her. Throughout the play, the author Ibsen, alludes to Heddas instability through her subtexts and the contradiction between her thoughts and actions. Ibsen's use of literary foils highlights Heddas weaknesses, revealing her true nature of cowardice. Building up to her ultimate demise, brought about between

Actor, Patrick Stewart in his speech, “The Legacy of Domestic Violence”, recounts his personal experiences of domestic violence as a young child. Correspondingly, Stewart describing his violent, and brutal childhood advocates more awareness to the sensitive matter as well as it’s victims which is Stewart’s purpose of delivering the speech. Domestic violence is an emotional subject to many which is why Stewart targets his audience’s emotions with the help from the literary techniques he uses. Stewart’s
