Macbeth- Reflection


For a long time, I have always wondered what kinds of work Shakespeare did. In the past, many of my teachers had taught more modern writings such as Ray Bradbury. This year however was my first time experiencing the old ancient William Shakespeare?

After reading Macbeth, I figured why so many people in the past had wanted to watch his plays as well as build a theater just for his plays. I love how the story starts with a very dark and murderous conversation with the witches. The excitement of reading Macbeth is like the same as reading a horror book.  It is amazing how over 500 years ago there is an famous writer with the ability to influence us even up till today.

In story, Macbeth to me seems not like a king. He fears his rivals, his wife, and his own fate. He should have a stronger mind to fight against them. His fear lead him down to despair, letting himself fall into his own darkness. He even killed many of people they once trust. The whole story basically tells how he own fate turned around when he did the wrong thing.
