Summary for Macbeth.

Act1Scene1:

Three withes met Macbeth upon the heath after the war Macbeth was involved in. They met with Macbeth and his soldier called Banquo, that Macbeth and the kids of Banquo would one day be king. Then the three witches vanish and both Macbeth and Banquo were shocked. Macbeth became crazy about being king and starts killing people to quickly help him become king. He started with killing King Duncan as his wife urges him to do so.

Act1Scene2: King Duncan and his fellow attendants met a bleeding captain and heard from him that there was a battle. Malcolm recognised him and said that this sergeant had saved his life. The captain said that the battle was doubtful as both Macbeth and Macdonwald fought furiously and bravely. However, in the end, Macbeth managed to win the war and killed Macdonwald, and hanged his head on their castle walls. Then a second battle arises by the Norweyan king, rising the anger in Macbeth and the Norwegians lost. Ross appears and tells what had happened. Norway and Thane of Cawdor met with Macbeth and lost. The Norwegian king had to pay ten thousand dollars.

Favourite Character.

My favourite character would be the three witches as from the videos that Ms Maly had shared, they were kind of funny. It would be fun acting as them with my group members. I like the way they talked to Macbeth and vanished, that would be fascinating if I had seen what had actually happened.

What I have learnt.

Patience. I have learnt patience from Macbeth. Because of his impatience, he killed person by person just because of his greed to become king. He should have let nature take its course, because he would not have been killed if he had waited to be king.

I also have learnt that we should not easily trust others. I feel that if I were Macbeth, I would not have fully trusted what the three witches had said. I would not know if they were real witches, if they were just passers-by who want to play a prank on me and try to see if I am gullible enough to believe in what they said. I feel that we should not be too greedy as well, because retribution will fall on you, since what goes around, comes around.
