134: Macbeth
Sophomore Lit
Shakespeare's Play the Grave Digger and Hamlet
Macbeth is a play that was written in some ways in response to the gunpowder plot. The people who equivocate the most in this play are the weird sisters they're the ones who say one thing that implies something but actually withholding just enough of the truth. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth get the wool pull over their eyes and think oh yeah I'm safe you know trees don't move people men are born from women whatever. There's this kind of delight in the audience finding out how the fate comes true anyway.
