“Full of sound and fury-” an encapsulating description of Justin Kurzel’s new rendition of the classic Shakespearean tragedy. Macbeth tells the tale of a Scottish lord who encounters a trio of soothsaying witches in the aftermath of a grand battle. And the battle is oh so grand a spectacle. The camera pauses several times as the armies charge one another‚ not for the sake of the action‚ but so the audience can appreciate the horrific beauty of combat. After a decisive victory for our anti-hero and

Romeo and Juliet who to blem?? In my opinion I think that there is a lot of people to blem for Romeo and Juliet’s death. One of the people that we should blem for Romeo and juliet’s death is themselves. Romeo and juliet didn’t think of themselves or their beautiful future and even their families. When Romeo killed himself just for one minute he should have think of his mother‚ father or his family‚ his friend‚ his life without Juliet. When Juliet killed herself what she should have done in my

The play MACBETH is filled with suffering. It begins with reports of a bloody battle‚ an execution of a traitor and Macbeth’s bloodthirsty heroism as he "unseamed" one of the invaders "from the nave of the chaps". In comparison MacBeth’s later actions are even worse as he commits violent crimes against his own people. Much of the suffering in the play is directly attributable to Macbeth. However‚ the central focus of the play is the suffering he himself undergoes‚ as he makes his way through his

In Romeo and Juliet‚ the tragic love story‚ people may wonder ‘who’s to blame?’ Was it the nurse? Friar Lawrence? Lord and lady Montague? Lord and Lady Capulet? Well maybe even Romeo and Juliet themselves. No one really knows the answer to that question. It’s really a matter opinion because they all had some kind of fault to the death of Romeo and Juliet. In my opinion‚ I blame Juliet. In act 1 scene 5 Juliet lets Romeo kiss her‚ which starts every bad thing yet to happen. They were in the middle

The reason that this story is a tragedy is because our two main characters both kill themselves out of love for the other and for the fact that they cannot be together. However‚ there is a question to be posed. Who is to blame for those tragic deaths? The answer is not a “who” but a “who all”. Multiple people are responsible for the death of the two; people from both families. It seems terrible to think that somebody’s own family caused‚ or played a part in causing the death of relative. It is terrible

hero? What if they are a tragic hero? In Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible (1952)‚ John Proctor shows characteristics of being a tragic hero‚ through his actions throughout the play.
