REFLECTION
In Act 5, Scene 5 of Macbeth Shakespeare expresses how Lady Macbeth dies, and the audience see’s how Macbeth is more annoyed than Upset about his wife's death. In my adaptian of this scene I wanted to show how the death of Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth that much further and leads him to fear how much power he truly wants. His fear is clearly shown in this quotation “What may I have done to des’r’vd this? Am I full of sins? Are the hags right? Do I Fear Macduff? Nay!” This quotation was important for my adaptation to represent my idea of Macbeth not wanting to even answer or think about all the possibilities of him not being in control. A metaphor is then added to express the hatred Macbeth was feeling towards Lady Macbeth “The queen anon lays burning with the devil, as any god wouldst take someone as poisonous as h’r.” Using the Devil was very important because during a very religious time anyone who ‘worked’ with the devil was executed, foreshadowing Macbeth later being killed. Moreover, The metaphor “This is my world and any man birthed from a woman won’t stop me!” is relevant to express how the witches earlier mentioned how to fear a man born not from a woman. This also allows my audience to understand just how greedy he became. However, Macbeth stays greedy and confident, the last line reads “ The wood began to move” which is actually a line within Macbeth to cross one check off of the witches prophecy. My scene consists of important soliloquies. The soliloquies allow the audience to get more understanding of the characters thoughts and intentions and with this allows them to see how Macbeth is motivated for more all caused by his anger from his wife's death. My adaptation is meant for the audience to get a more understanding of how his wife's death led him to a craze for even more power and blood.
