Reading into poetry is not bullshit.  It is an exercise in creativity and immagination.

Yeah, i'd say Lady Macbeth plays a pretty big role in his demise but the key corrupting force in this is power- which is evident. I did this in year 7 (6 years ago!) so i can't remember much.

woa, hold the phone.  You studied Shakespere when you were 10!! 8O

Ermmm i think i was just 11.

And Andrew-you haven't seen these poems, and you haven't seen the intepretations we are supposed to give. You are in no position to comment. I never implied reading into all poetry is bullshit, i implied reading what they expect you to into these poems is.

wow, well, the reason i'm all 0_o is because I didn't start reading it until I was about 13.  I guess it's just curriculum differences

Yeah, i think you have to read some from Year 6 here and you have to do it every year till Year 11 as far as i can remember. Year 6 is about 9/10 years old.

haha.. I know this is old. I should of been here a while ago. I do agree with mr. smart. guy. Andrew :roll: . But, ya.. I played Macbeth just like a  couple of days ago for the teachers of our school. We did it as extra credit.

We got asked this same questions before we started doing rehearsal. I didn't answer, but the girl that did made the statement that she felt He was simply like any person who gets power and cannot control it.

but, I do think that Lady Macbeth really had not too much to do with it. The witches put it there that Macbeth would be king, they said it.. and so therefore it was almost as if Macbeth and his wife both wanted so bad for it to be. Kind of when the witches said that The forest would move before macbeth was killed. A play on words, or something. Then the men dressed as trees and moved in.

When they said :you will be king: Greed stepped in and took over. They wanted it then and there. I personally think anyone who could write a play like that, is amazing. Go go go william.

Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd;
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow;
Raze out the written troubles of the brain;
And with some sweet oblivious antidote,
Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?

Ran into this quote in a book on Schitzophrenia today; its so true of anguish
a diseased mind causes both the afflicted - as well as those closest to them

Peace
