Power: test question

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

The way power corrupts is because the person thinks they rule everything and everyone around them. When a person has too much power it can all go to their head. Absolute Power is both in books,plays,movies and in real life. A person becomes very selfish with power. Their ambition is to gain more and more power.

How we did.

Describe the process you took to present your scene. What went well? Not so well? What would you do differently next time you had to do a scene?

In the scene I had I had to memorize my lines. We made swords that we needed to use for our scene. We did i good job at memorizing all out lines though we could of done better. We tried twice, we did better then the first time. I got stuck at some points but i managed to continue. What i would do diffeently next time is maybe put a bit more emotion into my acting.

Prediction

What will Macbeth do about Banquo?

Macbeth will end up killing everyone who he thinks is a threat to him.Banquo's sons will become kings. Macbeth also killed Banquo because he feels threatened by his morality. Macbeth had reasons to kill him, Banquo was way better than Macbeth. Banquo had courage, he was wise and because he would suspect Macbeth about the murders that been going on. In the end he did kill Banquo

weakness

Who is weaker? Macbeth or Lady Macbeth?  Why?

I believe that Macbeth is the most weak. He's weak because hes so paranoid. He suffered after killing the king. He then started seeing him and just going crazy. He has a guilty conscious. Macbeth feels bad because of the people he has killed. Karma gets back at him when his own wife dies. Power drove him to a place he should of never gone. I believe that Lady Macbeth is also weak but not as weak as Macbeth. She's weak because she didn't kill the king herself. It was her idea to kill him and speed up the witches "vision". In the end Lady Macbeth herself started becoming crazy and sleep walking feeling guilt. They are both weak but Lady Macbeth is a bit stronger because she has witch like traits.

Paranoia

Are Macbeth’s paranoia due to his own weakness or a consequence of what he did?

Macbeth's paranoia comes to him because he is both weak emotionally and its also a consequence. Since the begining he really didnt want to kill Duncan he let his wife's ambition drive him to it. You can tell he's emotionally weak because he lets guilt get to him. His paranoia is a consequence to what he did. I believe that his wife should have killed Duncan instead of Macbeth because it was her idea.
