Newspaper Article Adaptation of Macbeth
Scandal in the kingdom! Is Macbeth suddenly a dark magic enthusiast?
This was the question on everyone’s minds when the new King of Scotland, Macbeth, was spotted entering a dark cave, known to be the lair of three witches. Our journalists, Mr. Adam Le Vine and Mr. Blake Shell-Ton, were able to get close enough to the cave to determine the nature of the meeting. To put things lightly, they were absolutely astounded by the things they saw and heard that night. The three witches were hunched over a boiling cauldron, engrossed in making some sort of magical potion, when Macbeth abruptly arrived, demanding to know what they were doing. The witches did not name their act, however, and Macbeth moved on to another line of questioning. He professed that despite all the horrible things he knew they did, he needed them to answer a question. They told him to speak, but one witch asked Macbeth if he would rather address his question to their masters. Macbeth said that he would, and suddenly, there was thunder, and an apparition of a head with an armored helmet appeared. Macbeth tried to ask a question, but the witches warned him not to. The apparition cried to Macbeth to be wary of Macduff (whom we know to be the noble Thane of Fife), before leaving. The second apparition almost made Mr. Le Vine faint into Mr. Shell-Ton’s arms; it truly was that terrible, apparently . It was a bloody child, and he advised Macbeth to be violent, bold and firm, and laugh at the power of other men, for nobody born of a woman could ever harm Macbeth. Macbeth then reasoned that, if it was so, he should not fear Macduff; but he ultimately decided to kill him anyway, when the third apparition, a crowned child holding a tree, appeared.
This apparition advised Macbeth to be proud, and like a lion; to care nothing about those who conspire against him; he would never be defeated until Birnam Wood marched to fight him at Dunsinane Hill.
