After Macbeth stormed off, Lady Macbeth stayed where she was and invited me over to their new castle to celebrate the crowning. When I got there, I felt out of place. Everyone who was higher up in the social rank was there. I tried to leave, but Lady Macbeth had caught me and insisted that I at least wait until after we are done eating. The dinner was about to start when I heard Macbeth scream out in horror.…
I and the other nobles have not the faintest idea as to what is happening in Macbeth’s mind right now, and to think that this is our new king. He’s now shouting at the empty chair as if someone, or something, is on it. I tell the other nobles that maybe we should leave, and we all stand up to do so.…
In Macbeth, there are plenty of examples of foreshadowing. Shakespeare gains the audience's acceptance of the three mystically summoned apparitions through methodically foreshadowing a supernatural event is about to occur. Each instance of Shakespeare's foreshadowing contributes to the believability of the apparitions' appearance in the play.…
In this production I am acting as Lady Macbeth, she is often portrayed as an ambitious and deceitful woman whose obsessive behaviour for power leads her to her own destruction. In this scene, Act 5 scene 1, Lady Macbeth enters carrying a light unaware of the doctor or the gentlewans presence. I decided to use an old fashion candle as my light and kept my gaze straight ahead in an attempt to capture the gaze of the audience. Throughout this entrance I keep my facial expressions tedious to illustrate her discomfort, how she has become detached of this world. I dull my voice to make it seem as if I am in a hypnotic state, then as Lady Macbeth continues to fidget with her hands I raise my voice to seem as if I am in distress. I changed the tone of my voice to fit the characters emotions as I say “Fei, my lord, fie! A soldier and afeard?” I make my voice almost angry as if I can’t believe he can be afraid when he is a solider and meant to be brave. I continue to end my lines with a guilty voice as I talk about the innocent dead King Duncan. My voice remains unchanged as I talk of the thanes wife who was also murdered. I begin to shake as I look down to my invisible blood stained hands. I have to continue walking, shaking and rubbing my hands while the gentlewoman and doctor quietly talk about my sanity. My character starts to loose herself in her anxiety and cry’s desperately because of her guilt. I continue passing and shaking till my next line were I begin talking to my husband. I change to my voice to a more panicked tone as I try to reassure him that we are safe and cannot be caught because Banquo is dead. I continue to look at my husband till I hear a knocking; I change my facial expression to a worried look. I quicken my speech as I frantically try to lead Macbeth away so we can return to our bed before anyone finds us. I end the scene clinging to my husband’s invisible hand while we hurry to our room.…
The past few days were a surreal blur. Our beloved king was murdered and replaced by the seemingly innocent Macbeth. Several days later, the news of Banquo’s death reached the castle. It can’t be a coincidence. I have been living at this castle for exactly four months now after my father decided I should finally find a husband achieve something for the family. I have no intention of marrying, the mere thought of having to spend the rest of my life with someone that sees me as his object makes me ill. But I still have to put on a smile and act pleasantly. The life at the castle is tough. Back home I was able to read and go outside, here it is all about social gatherings. I envy my younger sisters. They still have time until they are shipped off like a pricy cow.…
500 years have passed and we still celebrate the world’s most phenomenal playwright, William Shakespeare. Known to create endless themes that not only reflect him but they also mirror truths about the ‘human condition’.
