Thoughts on Story...

Yupz, I never enjoyed Literature in secondary school, but its only because I don't think Lit ought to be tested in the Cambridge structure, I'm a Speech and Drama student, so maybe I look at it in a different light.... guess wat I'm gonna talk about... yupz, its MacBeth by William Shakespeare

The story took place in ancient Scotland when ruled by King Duncan. Its about how MacBeth and Lady MacBeth plotted and murdered the people of threat to them, well, basically, their murderous life story.

Surprisingly, my favorite character in this story is none other than Lady MacBeth. Yes, she was the mastermind behind King Duncan's death and many would view her in a bad light. No doubt she was the one who encouraged MacBeth, but she showed immense toughness in a woman, especially in her era as compared to Lady MacDuff. Lady MacBeth had a strong character, stronger than MacBeth himself, thus the need for her to tell MacBeth that he was a coward, which ultimately made MacBeth kill King Duncan. I would say that Lady MacBeth only 'pushed' MacBeth to kill Duncan out of blind support of her husband. Because MacBeth wanted to be King, but yet lacked the courage to kill King Duncan so Lady MacBeth edged him on as a wife who would support her husband.

An excellent story, which actually can be related to the story of Adam and Eve. ;)
