Term 1 Week 2

     Here to post about my reflection of literature lesson yesterday. Mr Chua was absent yesterday. A relieve teacher came in and took the class. I forgotten her name, pardon me. She taught us what Shakespeare plays we were going to cover this year.

     They were Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, Merchant of Venice and Midsummer Night's Dream. She told us about the summary of Macbeth's story. It was about Macbeth and his friend Banquo who came back from war and met the three witches.

       The three witches told him that he would rule the throne. Unfortunately, they said that Banquo's children would succeed MacBeth's throne.MacBeth was so obsessed by the witches' prophecy, that he murdered Banquo, the King and anybody that dared to obstruct his way. The relieve teacher also taught us about the script of Act 1, Scene 1:Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches.

Here it goes:

  First witch: Where shall we meet again?

In thunder, lightning or in rain?

Second Witch: When the hurlyburly's done,

When the battle's lost and won.

Third witch: That will be ere the set of sun.

First witch: Where the place?

Second Witch: Upon the heath.

Third Witch: There to meet Macbeth.

First Witch: I come, Graymalkin.

Second Witch: Paddock calls.

Third Witch: Anon!

All: Fair is foul, and foul is fair:

Hover through the fog and filthy air.

      They vanished afterwards. The relieve teacher gave us a homework. She told us to draw the scene where the witches were. I think that Macbeth is a  power- hungry person. He nelieved what the witches had told him about the prophecy and  he wanted the throne for himself and killed the people who would succeed his throne.  I think that the witches wanted to cause more war and destruction to the world as they are  not earthly beings. Hmm, lots of ideas are swirling in my head now. I shall end my post here.
