MacDeath and the end of the world as we know it.

Macbeth has Conquered the battle and met a few witches on the way home, who predicted Macbeth would become Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth says they are in fact crazy hags and carries on with Banquo who is crazy jealous that they predict Macbeth is better than he is. Along the road Macbeth meets up with King Duncan who is please to announce that Macbeth will in fact be Thane of Cawdor. The ceremony takes please and Macbeth gets angry that he is not in fact named Prince of Cumberland. Duncan announces to Macbeth that he will visit his castle where he and Lady Macbeth live. Duncan arrives and after a while goes to bed meanwhile Lady Macbeth is planning to murder Duncan and Macbeth stabs Duncan. In the morning when the soldiers that were drugged were found with blood on them and Duncan is found dead, Macbeth kills the soldiers out of rage. The Kings sons flee in different directions and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth get away with it. TO BE CONTINUED IN ACT 2!


MACBETH

- Unsure of himself. Hesitates when he has decided to kill Duncan.
-Envious. Wants to be Prince of Cumberland/King
-Angry. Killing people left right and center.
-Stupid. Kills the king.



If I were to make my own version of this, it would in fact take place in Scotland. The battle would take place on a green field. The three witches will be really pretty to the eye but be very evil and have ugly voices. The way i would kill Duncan is with poison it would be quiet and painless and neat. And I would feel less guilty because Macbeth the way he killed Duncan in the movie we watch its too extravagant. I would kill the guards with the same poison and leave the bottle in their hands. And for the end i would make Macbeth guilty and charged and die because that was uncalled for. I would keep the general feel to it the same though. Lady Macbeth would be played by Julie Andrews, Macbeth by Jim Carey and it would be a comedy they would all talk very high pitched and have random spazzes in their legs. That is how my Macbeth shall be played out.



HAPPY DAYS TO ALL!
