Dear Mom =)
Right now I am learning about the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare. This is very interesting because it deals with violence, and murder which is something I detest! However, this story happens to be exciting and intriguing to me. I understand that Lady Macbeth is evil and manipulative towards her husband Macbeth, and she is trying to persuade him to kill the king (Duncan) so that his third prophecy can come true that was first said by the three witches. His first two prophecies came true, so this third one which is becoming king should come true, but he wants it now! This is what makes him kill his king! I am also learning about 6 important words which are: Loyalty, Power, Integrity, Self Worth, Humanity, and Ambition! I have learned so much just about the words themselves, and also about how you can acheive these actions or how to lose them. Well, I better go now, so I will talk to you soon! =)
p.s. write me back as soon as possible!

Dear Krista,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are learning about these words. Suprising as we use them every day. It is true macbeth is a vilent play. Who would have thought that ther could have been so much blood and gore in high school lit. It is interestin gto see the power that LM had over her husband. Wer't women supposed to be silent and serve their husbands adn do as they were told in teh Elibethean age. THey weren't even allowed to have roles on the stage and here she is telling her husband to kill teh king. How unheard of. THink about what one does for power.
