Today in class, there was a socratic seminar in which the participants discussed what we have read so far in Macbeth. Here are some thoughts from those who were in the socratic seminar and myself...
Nicole - The play has a good introduction that gets the reader interested in the story from the start
Emily - The play would be etter if it was written in today's english; it's more interesting when we have class discussions about the play because we can understand it easier.
Megan - I think the story is better as a play, with the poems an metaphors placed in the play.
Me - I agree with her because without the poems and metaphors, Shakespeare wouldn't be the genius writer he is and Macbeth would just be
Anthony - Shakespeares plays are predictable, with someone looking for power and several people dying
David - Readers always want the good guy to win, but in this play the goo guy has turned evil
Me - Being so desperate for power, Macbeth went through with the murder of King Duncan even though he knew it was morally wrong
Brian - Power and greed come hand in hand; when someone gains power, they become greedy for more
