Macbeth:
-introduced to us as a crazy fighter, then we get to the scenes with his wife and him and realize that there is much more to his character.
-He sticks up for himself when it comes to fighting and war but not with his wife?
-Why does he listen to her?
-His actions, if he does what she tells him to, will most likely cause chaos (exactly why Shakespeare will make him listen to her)
-she is influenced by greed and power. But seeking them with evil will only cause a mess.
Lady Macbeth:
-She's just a crazy lady, plain and simple.
-she married a man in power in order to share his power (something as a woman, you can't have)
-as a woman in this era, she is powerless in politics but because Macbeth listens to her opinion, she has much more power than most woman in her society.
I like how your notes say Macbeth is a dynamic character. I never thought of him that way when I read it. Could you please comment to my notes as well?
ReplyDeleteI like how you split your notes by two of the main characters. That puts focus on their significance to the play and what their roles are. Holla at my notes please:)
