Article On Macbeth
Its really interesting how Shakespeare constructed Macbeth. He want the people not know what will happen next. The way Macbeth became a loved character even though he was the murder was because the people did not see the murder occur, so they wonder how he did it. I found this on icurve.org it is written by David Chandler : "Death is important in expressing tragedy because it is at the very heart of the paradox of disappointment. For secular man and even for many religious men death brings final conclusive disillusionment to every meaningful hope. "

I don't think Shakespeare didn't want us to know what would happen next. Rather I think he wants us to be surprised. I think the only reason why the audience likes MacBeth is because we never actually see him commit murder.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do agree with some of what Lupita said, I don't think that he wanted us to be surprised either. It was evident from the very beginning that Macbeth was going to commit a murder -- how he dealt with it was the only semi-unknown aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lupe and Julia. I like hoe you stated Julia that Macbeth was seen as an evident murder from the beginning and that the suspenseful past was what he would do with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to read a story and start to want to know what is going to happend next. That is when it is a good story.
