Be sure to proof read your post. There are a few typos, sentence structure errors, and sentence fragments which require a keener awareness when blogging. I enjoy your coverage of Macbeth's ordinary world, a world of fierce battles and allegiance to a noble King, and your illustration of his Call to Adventure. Someone from my other class mentioned that Lady Macbeth may deliver his call to adventure, since Macbeth "yields to the suggestion" after hearing the prophecy from the witches. That is something to consider. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Macbeth's call to adventure coming when he learns from the witches that he will become king, and I think it is certainly a turing point in the play, and may even forshadow what will happen in order for Macbeth to get this power. I also think that his ordinary world is important because it offers contrast to the new character of Macbeth presented later in the play.
