Song #1
Ring the alarm by Beyonce
This song matches the scene because in line 68 Macduff yells “Ring the alarm bell!” Duncan has just been killed so this song would play as soon as Macduff says that. This song also represents what Macbeth is thinking in this scene. Beyonce doesn’t want her man to have another girlfriend, and Macbeth doesn’t want Malcolm or Donalbain to have the throne. Beyonce says ‘she gon’ profit everything I taught if I let you go’. If Macbeth isn’t careful, Duncan’s sons will profit from Macbeth’

Troy Soundtrack Instrumental
Macbeth and Banquo meet the witches for the first time. The witches’ prophesize that Macbeth will become the king and Banquo's descendants will be kings. This song relates to the scene because the music and unpredictable. Macbeth doesn't know whether he will be king now or in the future. It is mysterious music because this is the changing point of the play because now Macbeth is getting information he'll be king. (Act 1 Scene 3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV61OJIY4Mk Song #3
Black Hawk Down Instrumental
This song will play when Lady MacDuff is killed. When the messenger arrives to warn her, she doesn’t listen and she is killed. The mood of the song is depressing and sad and the mood goes up and down. It fits perfectly with Lady MacDuff dying for reasons that are not justifiable. (Act 4 scene 2)

Song #4
I need a doctor by Eminem
One of Lady Macbeth's maids suggests that she go to the doctor. She observes that Lady Macbeth takes paper, writes on it, and then folds it every night. This song fits because Lady Macbeth needs a doctor because she is going crazy. When Eminem says "Im about to lose my mind, you've been gone for too long", it relates to Lady Macbeth's feeling that Macbeth has

    ‘Thou canst not say I did it. Never shake thy gory locks at me’, in this line Macbeth is showing the guilt he feels about having his closest friend mercilessly slain. If Macbeth had truly wanted to murder Banquo he wouldn’t feel the need to deny having Banquo murdered. The apparition of Banquo’s ghost would’ve been considered supernatural at the time but it is likely that Macbeth’s vision was a result of the extreme amount of guilt and anxiety he felt, not only for having Banquo murdered but also for killing Duncan and his guards and for framing Duncan’s sons. This display of emotion is significant to the play as it shows that Macbeth is not as evil as he wants everyone around him to believe and that he does feel fear. Banquo’s ghost is significant to Macbeth as it provides the readers or audience to see how Macbeth’s delusion and guilt affect…

    This passage takes place in Act 2 and Scene 1, in this point in the play Macbeth has been convinced by Lady Macbeth to go through with the murder and is standing outside Duncan’s bedroom ready to kill him. This is a crucial point in the play as it is the scene right before the murder and is significant as it shows Macbeth’s state of mind right before committing the deed and because it is the first time in the play that Macbeth begins to hallucinate signifies the point at which his mental health begins to deteriorate.…

    The song mentions that no one can stop him, and that is what Macbeth thinks. Also, the song is portraying confidence that no one will get in his way. A characteristic of Macbeth is confidence. He first gets confidence from the witches by the witches told him that he would become Thane of Cawdor and become king. He became Thane of Cawdor, so he thought he would become king. After he becomes king, the witches give him confidence again by tricking him and telling him that he is invincible. After Macbeth realizes that he was tricked, he fought Macduff to the death and ends up dying. A line from the song says that they will fight til its over, and by over for Macbeth, it means the end of his reign and…

    In the begging where it started off with three creepy witches cackling as they were discussing when they'll meet again, and decide to hook up "When the hurly-burly's done, when the battle's lost and won."(line 3-4) The implication is that they've been up to something really bad. They let the audience in on their plan to meet some guy name Macbeth. And then cut to post-battle, where we learn that this Macbeth has been kicking serious tail in battle so much that King Duncan has decided to give him the title Thane of Cawdor. He's prancing home on a dark and stormy night after defending King Duncan in battle with some skilled enemy-disemboweling. Understandably, he's feeling pretty good about himself. The witches then call out to Graymalkin and Paddock, or spirits that serve the witches. All three witches start to say, "Fair is foul and foul is fair"(line10-11) before going back about their business. Just then, him and his good friend Banquo run into three bearded witches who rhymingly prophesy that Macbeth will be named Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland. Just as Banquo is curious about his knowing what he will become. And then they begin to say “lesser than Macbeth and greater but not so much happy, yet much happier thou shalt get kings. Though thou be none”.(line 65-68) And what they mean by that is he will be fortunate than Macbeth and be father to a long line of future kings of Scotland though he will not be king himself. The next thing we know, a guy named Ross shows up to say that, since the old Thane of Cawdor turned out to be a traitor and is about to have his head chopped off and displayed on a pike, so Macbeth gets to take his place as Thane of Cawdor then that takes care of the first prophecy. His ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth, prods him into acting like a man and killing King Duncan when the poor guy comes to Macbeth's castle for a friendly visit. When Macduff finds the king's dead body,…

    Shakespeare creates a scene in Macbeth in which his conscious comes into play to mess with his head and to show the audience the insanity that is ever present in the man. After killing the king and becoming the king Macbeth realizes that the witches prophecy came true, the prophecy that was stated in Act 1 Scene 3, where Macbeth and Banquo are told that they will become leaders. Macbeth is told he shall be king and yet Banquo is told that his children shall be the kings after Macbeth. After claiming his kingdom Macbeth fears the witch’s prophecy and fears that his dear friend Banquo will either kill him as he did to the previous king or will kill his kids. In order to stop this Macbeth has Banquo murdered. This scene takes place after Banquo’s murder.…

    The song Mr. Crowley would be a good theme song for the Witches because the song is about a man who is evil and knows things that normal humans don't which describes the witches perfectly. In the song it says “You fooled all the people with magic...” which would in the play refer to them fooling Macbeth into thinking he actually deserved to be king and fooling him that he could no longer be harmed, but there was also an unseen catch to it which is how they fooled him.…

    The song I Just Can’t Wait to be King, which appears in the movie The Lion King, is about Simba yearning to be king. This mimics Macbeth’s state of mind after he hears the witches’ three predictions, the last of them being of him becoming a king. As soon as he heard the prediction, he got so enthralled that he didn’t listen to reason, or even question the validity of the witches’. In Act 1 Scene 5, in his letter to Lady Macbeth, he writes “‘Hail, king that shalt be.' This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou might’st not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee”(Shakespeare 1.5.9-12). He is evidently just as excited as Simba was while singing “Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!”…

    All while Macduff and Malcolm are deciding to rebel against Macbeth, and put an end to his tyranny. This establishes a sorrowful and vengeful tone as soon as Ross confirms Lady Macduff’s and Sirrah’s painful passing. (see discussion question #1) Think about this. Since Macduff decided to put his country above all else, operating to achieve ‘freedom’ and ‘justice’, he gained one of the most disastrous things in return.…

    Macduff helps develop the theme of evil and supernatural. His actions towards Macbeth and his name being mentioned as a threat in the second set of prophecies make Macbeth commit one of his darkest deeds. This action shows evil because Macbeth sends assassins to an unguarded castle to kill many innocent people including Macduff’s family. Macduff helps to develop the theme of loyalty and patriotism. He does so by going to England to get the true heir Malcolm and military allies to free Scotland of Macbeth. Finally, Macduff shows guilt for leaving his family after finding out that Macbeth slaughtered his family. He…

    In act 1 scene 6 is when the king and others arrive at Macbeth’s castle to stay the night. I chose the song “Let Em In” by Paul McCartney to represent this scene. The songs lyrics are “Someones knockin at the door, somebodys ringin the bell, do me a favor, open the door and let em in”. This perfectly describes that scene because when King Duncan arrives Lady Macbeth is there to let them in. She already has a plan figured out for them and can’t wait to execute it.…
