Shakespeare Macbeth Fair Is Foul
1,035 wordsDoes the statement Fair is foul, and foul is fair thoroughly expresses the many themes of Shakespeare? s? Macbeth? ?

Lady Macduff And Her Son Act 4 Scene 1
393 wordsAlthough Macbeth does take actions that lead to his downfall, I believe that he is not totally responsible for what happens. Although he takes the action that leads to his downfall, he perhaps would not have done this if the witches had not told him that he would be king in Act 1 Scene 3. I believe that it is the witches are more responsible for Macbeth's downfall than he is. In Act 1, Scene 3, the witches tell Macbeth that he is thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and that he " shalt be king ...

Lady Macbeth Roman Polanski
800 wordsCritique of Roman Polanski's Macbeth Roman Polanski's version of Macbeth, in my opinion, lived up to the Shakespeare's play. Although there were many minor changes in the play the plot stayed the same. One commendable change on Polanski's part was the way he sensationalized the violence. There werent that many violent scenes but those few very extremely violent. I had thought myself to be completely desensitized to violence until I watched this movie. One of the first major changes was the battl...
