Answer 3

Oh. Well, can't help you on that. I'm not in that class, but I do like English.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I've watched it a few times.

Answer 6

Roman Polanski's version is the best one, imo.

Answer 7

I need 3 events in the story the text support to each and why its important Dx
I don't understand old english :/

Answer 8

I don't know what version im reading

Answer 9

I meant to say, film version. The text you're reading is no doubt Shakespeare's text.

Answer 10

well shakespeare is not my favorite person .-.

Answer 11

If you knew his work more, he would be.

Answer 12

i only liked romeo and juliet because i had the english version

Answer 13

I have to ask, because I come across a lot of people who want to do the assignments without reading the test. Have you read it?

Answer 14

yes I read the play over and over and over :/ I know that the 3 witch sisters tell a prophecy that Macbeth can also be the Thane of Cawdor but at first he doesn't want to be it then he becomes greedy and wants to kill for the title

Answer 15

Shakespeare was an English playwright. All of his works are in English. I like Franco Zeffirelli's film "Romeo and Juliet." It's excellent.

Answer 16

you know alot more then me about this stuff

Answer 17

I'm probably a lot older than you. :) You'll have a chance to watch them, and I'm sure you'll love them.

Okay, anyway, I can help you with this.

Answer 18

okay thank you! and yeah im 16

Answer 19

So, they are asking you for three scenes that you found interesting. That would be the first thing to do. Do you think you can recall you're favorite scenes?

Answer 20

Because if you can, I'll make my list, while you make yours.

Answer 21

Or if you're stuck, we can talk about the play. That ought to help.

Answer 22

Talk about the play! because Idk what happens.
I don't get what the lines mean

Answer 23

Okay.

Answer 24

thank you

Answer 25

It's a truly great play. How long do you have to discuss it with me?

Answer 26

all night haha

Answer 27

Okay. Great.

Answer 28

By Sinel's death I know I am Thane of Glamis;
But how of Cawdor? The Thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentleman; and to be King
Stands not within the prospect of belief,
No more than to be Cawdor.

can I put that as a quote? its when he finds out about the prophecy I think D:

Answer 29

The play opens with the witches. That's a great scene. Very eerie. There are tons of them throughout the play. Two others that strike me as particularly good is when Macbeth learns that the guy (forgot his name) was brought into the world by Caesarian section.

Answer 30

You can quote short passages for your assignment. They probably don't want you to quote too much.

Answer 31

so shorten that quote?

Answer 32

How long before your assignment is due?

Answer 33

monday but I need to do it tonight because im busy friday saturday and sunday

Answer 34

You really should give yourself some time to enjoy it and to think about it. Why don't you watch it with your friends?

I'll help you out. I'll enjoy talking about it. But you can also talk about it with your friends after watching the movie.

Answer 35

I ask my friend and he gives me a bunch of websites

Answer 36

Hmm. :(

Answer 37

I just wanna graduate I don't wanna do this I have too much to do :c

Answer 38

Okay, well, would you like to watch it with me, online? (You know, at the same time.) We can comment on it while we watch it. That's the best way to learn.

Answer 39

is it the same as the written one?

Answer 40

Yes.

Answer 41

okay is it on netflix?

Answer 42

I'll find it on YouTube. The idea behind the class is to get you interested in this stuff so that you can enjoy it for the rest of your life. You know what I mean? Maybe not Shakespeare exactly, but plays and stuff like that. To be able to watch them, to understand them, and to enjoy them. It's important.

Anyway, I'll find the film now.

Answer 43

Thank you and I do like plays, I watch broadway plays but old english is not my thing

Answer 44

Okay. I'm looking. Sometimes it takes a little time to find a video, but I usually do. Be back in a moment.

Answer 45

okay no problem im doing like 6 other things Dx

Answer 46

But you have time to focus on the movie, don't you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbywWyryftM

Answer 47

yeah I can focus on it

Answer 48

okay I got it

Answer 49

This one is really good because it has the text on the screen. Usually I wouldn't like that, but it'll help you.

Answer 50

okay good

Answer 51

are those the witches ?

Answer 52

It starts off with a bang, you gotta admit that. Lightning strikes and thunder)

:)

I also love the creepy sisters and the way they talk. "When shall we meet again. . .?"

Answer 53

Yep. That's them.

Answer 54

haha okay :D

Answer 55

yup im lost now who r they?

Answer 56

I said sisters. I think they're sisters. Not positive. It's been years since I watched this. AND this is one of the versions I've seen. Polanski's is the best, but this is pretty good, also. Have you ever heard the name Polanski before?

Answer 57

no :/

Answer 58

See, that's why it's good to be informed. It'll help you piece things together throughout your life. Polanski's wife, actress Sharon Tate, was one of the people that Charles Manson's group murdered. Maybe you haven't heard of Manson yet.

Answer 59

nope never heard of him.. no one informs me of anything! i teach myself everything

Answer 60

That's a rotten deal. :(

Well, sometimes you learn it better that way, but myself, I'm always interested in discussing things with people because I learn more that way.

Anywho, on to the movie.

Don't feel lost about the witches. It's just the set up for the play.

Answer 61

i was lost about the men

Answer 62

One thing you want to keep in mind is that Shakespeare didn't write the plays for people to read, he wrote them so they could be performed. Many, if not most, of the people in his audience couldn't read.

Answer 63

oh ik all about shakespear

Answer 64

Let's stick with the witches for now.

Answer 65

shakespeare*

Answer 66

k. Cool.

Answer 67

What the witches say has to do with the play's entire plot.

Answer 68

its all about the prophecy right?

Answer 69

Yes. It's also a way of leading us into the play. It's also what's called "foreshadowing."

"When the war is won and lost." for instance, is about what happens at the end of the play. Clever, huh? the way Shakespeare sets up the end of the play at it's beginning.

Answer 70

wow thats good

Answer 71

Yeah. :)

I misquoted the dialogue though. Make sure you double check the text. If you have it in MS Word or some program like it, you can add notes and underline things, etc.

"When the battle's lost and won."

Answer 72

Thank you so much !

Answer 73

its not like a everyday play kinda.. no effects etc..

Answer 74

You're very welcome.

I know I'll need to speed things up a bit, or it'll take all weekend to get through the film. BUT I think it's worth talking about this opening scene a little more. Okay?

Answer 75

haha yeah it will take a while but it will also help me in the future! c: and okay

Answer 76

Yeah, I hate it when they load up a movie with lots of explosions and all of that. What that usually means is that they don't really have much to say in the movie.

Some professors have an expression that you might hear said in class -- after the grading of papers. "If you can't impress them with the facts, dazzle them with the boloney." Haha

Answer 77

haha i never have heard of that ! are u in college?

Answer 78

Great. And yes, it really will.

Okay, well, these are just my thoughts. It's noting "official" but I think there's a reason why he {Shakespeare] has the witches say "lost and won" rather than "won and lost."

Answer 79

hm maybe their is a reason idk

Answer 80

The way I have it figured, more or less, everyone's the same age online. Nope. Not in college.

Answer 81

so beyond college lol

Answer 82

Here's what I think. The witches are setting MacBeth up. That's what the prophecy does. It's similar to what the Gods in Greece did. For instance, there's this famous story about a Persian king named Xerxes. He asked the Oracle at Delphi, "Should I go to war." and the Oracle told him, "If you go to war you will destroy a great nation."

Answer 83

"To infinity, and beyond!" Buzz Lightyear. Haha

Answer 84

im guessing ur really good at history ;o

Answer 85

haha awh there is the child in you! :D

Answer 86

I've done a lot of studying. I find this stuff fascinating.

Answer 87

Yep. Always will be. :)

Answer 88

apparently you do! i find english class a waste of time I wanna learn about things that will actually help me in life. I was to be a doctor and learning about old english is NOT gunna help me, its so useless

Answer 89

Nope. It's not, at all. PLUS, if you want to be a doctor, you have no idea HOW MANY wierd words you're going to come across--so brace yourself! :)

Answer 90

yeah but the words are in latin and i already know italian and spanish, latin wont be too too hard to learn

Answer 91

Wow! I'm way impressed!!!

Answer 92

haha :p i learned italian before english Dx

Answer 93

I don't like old English, either. But that was the only language he had to work with, so we're stuck with it. Same thing with Ben Franklin's guess about the way electricty travels. (The plus and minus signs. ) he had a fifty percent chance of getting it wrong--and he did. That's something else we're stuck with. You'll find out about that in your Physics classes.

Answer 94

oh yay another class to look forward in college for

Answer 95

I'm always impressed by people who know more than one language. Three is really impressive. AND it'll pay off for you later on.Being multi-lingual can amke you more valuable to a company.

Answer 96

Yeah. heheheh

Answer 97

and i am intermediate in american sign language XD

Answer 98

Okay, I guess we ought to get to the movie before sunrise. :)
