Liars And Macbeth
Pretty Little Liars and Macbeth connect in unusual ways. Some key tools are used in both of these writings. Some key terms that are used to describe the book and show are external conflicts, mood, and stage directions. A key term that can connect to both the modern text, Pretty Little Liars (PLL), and the Shakespeare text, Macbeth, is that they both use external conflicts. External conflicts occur in Macbeth when he decides he doesn't want to murder his best friend King Duncan, “We will proceed no further in this business” (1.7.33) because Macbeth was honored by him and he got the golden respect from everyone. He then announces to Lady Macbeth that he does not want to continue with their plan and she calls him a coward because of it,

    A wondrous thing is defying nature, which is the purpose of a device built to stop an egg from breaking at a height of 7 meters. The egg will fall onto a piece of paper, with cotton underneath, which is supported by a net of rubber bands, which are hoisted up by thick wood sticks. Also balloons are tied below to catch some of the force, and then just drop the egg. After the egg was dropped, it was a success; it landed smoothly and had no cracks.

    Motifs in Macbeth: Appearance vs. Reality

    There are many motifs in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, but one of the most important is the recurring disassociation of appearance and reality. The entire motif is introduced in the first scene when the witches say “Fair is foul and foul is fair” (1,i,12). This is then reiterated as important when Macbeth says, “So foul and fair a day I have not seen.” (1,iii, 39). Drawing parallels and comparing two polar opposites, such as foul and fair, sets the stage for the dissimilarity between appearance and reality. This motif changes as the characters change, however, and it moves from the main characters not knowing what to believe or trust, to the main characters using the variance to their own advantage and hiding their true motives, to finally causing the main characters to go insane. Throughout the entirety of Macbeth, what the characters have seen and what the readers know to be true have often times been contrasting. This divergence between appearance and reality grows and develops with the characters throughout the play.…

    Macbeth

    Macbeth is a play filled with murders and lies, but it is not the murderer who is responsible for the most evil in the play. The main character Macbeth kills two important characters in the play, and is responsible for the death of a third. Macbeth is still only the instrument carrying out these evil actions. Other main characters in the play are the three Weird sisters, or the three witches. They are supernatural creatures that prophesize that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and eventually king. They stir Macbeth’s ambition to ascend the throne. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s strategic wife that plans the murder of King Duncan. She uses Macbeth’s ambition to acquire more power. Lady Macbeth is responsible for the most evil in the play because she convinces Macbeth to kill the king, and sends Macbeth on a path of destruction.…

    Macbeth

    In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth the main theme of loyalty is explored throughout the play by main characters. Loyalty can be defined as faithfulness or unwavering devotion to a person or cause. Duncan, Banquo, Macduff and Macbeth are all essential characters who are given opportunities to express their loyalty, however it is the different ways in which these characters choose to be loyal or disloyal that shape the play as a whole. It is the character’s loyalty and/or disloyalty that construct the course of the play. The theme of loyalty interrelates the over arching themes of guilt and masculinity throughout the play.…

    Macbeth

    People tend to seem good and righteous but may actually be tainted or evil, and vice versa. Macbeth a bold “Thane of Cawdor” whose loyalty was to Duncan, became as evil and corrupted as the witches he talked to. They told him that he would become the future king and as these thoughts pondered in his head it consumed him by which he made the descion to kill the king in order to obtain the throne. In the play “Macbeth” by Shakespeare the theme “virtue versus evil” is developed through situational irony, dramatic irony, and verbal irony of the three prophetic apparitions of an armed head, a bloody child, and a crowned child holding a tree. An armed head, situational irony because Macbeth a military man himself supposed to be great and honorable who really became wicked had gotten his head torn off by Macduff in order to fulfill the prophecy. The image of a bloody child, dramatic irony as a result of no one but Macduff knowing that his mother had a caesarian - section until he advised it to the audience and Macbeth. It was “virtuous” because Macduff killed Macbeth although it was “evil” because it was treason to kill the king. A crown child holding a tree, verbal irony on account of that child being Malcolm the future king and he announces to the soldiers to move towards Macbeth. The “virtue” is that Malcolm a venerable character who has not been poisoned or manipulated as Macbeth an “evil” one.…

    A sad and horrific event happened on December 14, 2012. A gunman by the name of Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children and 6 staff, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn, and then killed himself. President Obama commented on this tragedy by vowing to “use whatever power this office holds”, alluding to a start of gun control. At a memorial speech for the 27 victims Obama stated that leaders can no longer stand by idly and let these things happen. “These tragedies must end” is how he put it.

    Allegory In Macbeth

    In Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, hidden symbols and allegories can be found throughout the play. The playwright uses words and phrases to emphasize their meaning, and possibly suggest different ones. The Scottish Play is rich with repetition and underlying meanings, as seen with several examples. As Macbeth learns in the play, murder causes repercussions beyond the conscious mind, and the blood spilled is at his own expense. Shakespeare uses the word blood to symbolize the permanent guilt felt after murder, as well as the obvious consequences it leaves the perpetrator.…
