What is going inside lady Macbeths' mind?

I think the twitter assignment was so cool! I have a twitter account, however, I do not use it a lot. Therefore, this was a good experience and practice for me to get more familiar with the twitter and the way it works. I really liked the tutorial video that you uploaded; it was extremely useful.
Moreover, I think this assignment was easier that what I thought. It was interesting for me since I did not really think about what is going on through different characters in the story. This assignment gave me a chance to analyze the characters, they thoughts, and they actions more. This analyzing did not just ended with lady Macbeth because I actually had to think of other characters, too in order to choose my favorite one to write twits about. I actually could think what Macbeth, lady Macbeth, Banquo, and other characters think and feel. Lady Macbeth was always my favorite character. Despite the fact that I believed that she is a strong, ambitious woman, I think she even started to feel guilty and regretful the moment after the king was dead. I think she can be a really good leader, however,  she has to put more thinking into her actions.
This activity helped me analyze the story and the characters more. Think doing this till the rest of the play will help me a lot! I will try to analyze the characters more during the play. I found it really interesting and helpful in all terms.

Lady Macbeth!









My favorite character in the play is lady Macbeth. She is one of the Shakespeare’s most famous frightening female characters. She planned the king’s murder from the beginning of the play and she is more ambitious, more determined and stronger that her husband, Macbeth. She also knows that she has to push Macbeth forward and encourage him to kill the king since she thought he is too kind to kill someone. Her motivation and ambition is showed when she wishes she were a male and could do this by herself. Lady Macbeth’s character invites us to consider one of the themes of the play, which is the relationship between the gender and the power. The play is showing that a woman can be as ambitious, as cruel, as violent, and as strong as a man but in a different way. We actually can see many examples for what i mentioned in our politic and social lives where a woman has absolute control over her man, his choices, and his actions.
In my opinion, Lady Macbeths’ character works some how like the three witches. They are all a strong influence on Macbeth decisions and beliefs, which lead him to kill the king and own the throne. Every time that Macbeth doubt if killing the king is the right thing to do or not, lady Macbeth questioned his manhood to convince him and encourage him.
I think her ambitious will hurt her more at the end of the play because she is deeply into this crime that she will feel more guilty and regretful than Macbeth after the king is dead. She also might act mad! I’m extremely interested to see how she convince mabeth!

Who's Macbeth?!




What do I know about Macbeth so far?
First of all I have read Macbeth last summer; therefore I am familiar with the whole play.
Macbeth, one of the tragedy plays, by William Shakespeare is known as one of the darkest, most powerful plays. It is also the shortest Shakespeare’s play.
The play is taken place in Scotland and Macbeth was a Scottish general who received a prophecy from three witches that he is going to be the future king of Scotland. Macbeth and his wife were so ambitious that they planned to kill the king and take the throne for themselves.
Macbeth shows love, betrayal, death, revenge, and violent as like as other Shakespeare’s tragedies. I think the main theme of this play is ambition and it is shown in Macbeth and lady Macbeth’s characters. However, My favorite part in Shakespeare’s plays is the image and use of love.
Moreover, reading Shakespeare is not the easiest thing to do, especially for me. Despite the fact that it is one of the hardest parts of English for me, I still like to read it for couple of times. The main reason that Shakespeare is hard is that he uses the old language and also he uses some specific word from his own and he creates some words. I think reading the books following by the movies could be helpful. I also use some sources to learn the translation and understand the whole plot completely. 
I have actually been at the bard on the beach for Macbeth play and it was awesome! I included the picture of actual actors for you :)
