This week we began to watch Macbeth. It was definitely a struggle for me to keep because the language is so different than ours now. I really like Shakespeare, the plots and the stories are always really good it's just hard to follow along. Not many people talk very formal anymore and nobody talks in Old English. When you are so used to English being used one way it is hard to make that mind shift especially when you can't go at your own pace. However; I got the jist of the play and understood it for the most part. My group's notes varied from helpful to us just typing in all caps about how confused we are. It was a pretty dark and disturbing movie because he literally kills everyone so he can be king. How can being king even be enjoyable at that point? No one respects you, all your friends are fake because they are just trying to avoid being killed and you have to live with the guilt of killing your friends and innocent people.
