Romeo, Romeo where are thou Romeo?
This isn’t that play
This is about Macbeth....another play of by the great Shakespeare of betrayal, temptation, and greed for power.
Macbeth is an insight into today as well as how people spoke and dressed in Medieval times. Through actor's movements and expressions one can follow the play. Actors speak more than just words.
Returning to the themes of Shakespeare; greed, power, temptation, betrayal these are apart of culture today as there were in Shakespeare’s time. Why his plays are still being performed today.
Lady Macbeth persuades her husband to kill the King and servants to fame them for the murder. Macbeth is overcome with guilt throughout the play. As well as tempted by the witches throughout the play. More people are killed during the play and at the end there is still a fight for power.
Power is a part of culture. Wars are still fought today. The wars are still over who will control what. In Macbeth several people are wanting to be king in order for the ability to control. Then the murders committed are done by people who are under control by someone else.
Power is temptation. Thus it creates greed and causes people to betray one another.
Follow Macbeth and watch the play and one will see this.
Can’t understand what they are saying?
Listen close. Watch expressions and movements. Expand your cultural horizons.
