Blog Entry 3.2: Macbeth

          In this video, this is a scene from MacBeth where the witches for see his future of being Thane then King. They also explain that Banquo is also going to become something powerful like Macbeth. He becomes excited to hear the news and asks the witches to tell him some more. One of the witches seduces him a little bit, then disappear from him. He goes to look for them but instead, sees Banquo. Banquo says that maybe he's just seeing things and should forget about it. They are Weird Sisters and shouldn't be believed. A few moments later, someone walks into the scene and says that the Cawdor is to be killed for being untrue. It is then there that Macbeth is pronounced Thane of Cawdor.

          There are some archetypes such as the Fool and the Witches. Macbeth is the fool, for letting himself become drunk with power. Later on in the story, he starts to kill people so that way he can get to the top. This also makes you wonder; if the witches had never said anything , would any of this had ever happened? If he never knew about it, would it still come to be? His mind was overtaken by the Witches to believe what they wanted him to believe. The Witches are the other archetypes, especially since these women are really "witches". They control the events that have not yet-to-come and make it seem as though they are good people by telling their futures. They trick their victims into thinking that they must do these horrible things to become powerful.
