Witches

I pictured them the same in their looks like the old lady with the sunken in skin for sure. but what i pictured them doing was like stading over a boiling cauldren. And then when they talked i expected them to be in unison.

Macbeth Witches

I was surprised more by the setting of the clip as opposed to the appearance of the witches. I pictured them off in the forest in the middle of the night doing their thing. The appearance of the young witch did surprise me, though. I definitely expected them all to look more like the other two - older, and more scraggly looking.

So... fair is foul and foul is fair...

I definitely pictured the witches differently, sort of like the young-looking one only with scraggly pirate beards.  I also kind of thought their unison would have been more in unison, instead of the higher voice lagging half a beat behind, but I really hadn't thought about what they were doing.  I sort of imagined them wondering across the stage and just randomly talking to each other, then just arranging another meeting place.  I obviously don't use my imagination very much when I'm reading...

Foul is fair, and fair is foul

well to tell you the truth, my computer was messing up a tad bit. I couldnt really hear them. The description was pretty close, the witches were really gross looking. The witches were out in the middle of nowhere, and they were burying a hand. They put a knife in the persons hand. They buried it, and poured blood on top of the sand and they casted a spell on it and walked away.

A Thematic Discussion

You make your own destiny, hm? Well, that's at least partially true. It's everybody's destiny to die, but you can choose what path you take to get there, though you don't always get to choose when you step off the path, where "there" is. You don't get to control things like natural disasters, and whethere you're fired from your job, but you can choose how you handle it and what kind of a person it makes you. So maybe you don't get to completely make your own destiny--maybe there's some sort of template you have to follow--but you get to pick your colors and shapes and how much you tack on.

The end justifies the means... No. You can't do evil in order to do good. If you have to cheat or lie or steal or otherwise get dirty to reach your goals, then you don't deserve them. You don't deserve the credit or the satisfying sense of accomplishment, because you undermined your character and broke the rules, the important ones, the rules of life. You just reduced yourself, muddied yourself, put dirt in the pure mountain water. You can clean yourself up or let the mud settle, but you're not the same anymore... Not to mention all the harm you can do to other people in the ruthless means of your ends.

The three witches physical appearance in the short clip I found was somewhat accurate to my own interpretation. The opening scene was very powerful as the witches were burying a person’s arm along with a rope and knife. Physical descriptions in the play seemed to expand more on the disfiguring physique of the witches, and explained a little bit more about their man-like features. Overall the weird sisters bared a decent resemblance to what I had pictured.

Macbeth

As far as the first statement goes, I would say not everything in the future is written in stone. I think we can make our own choices that can decide our future, but I also believe that there are things that are destined to happen. As far as the second statement goes, I agree to a point but I do not believe that it applies to everything. Some things that were meant to happen can not be justified by a choice you made if it was destined to happen.

The Answers to the 2 Statements That Were Written

In a way I actually kind of disagree with both of these. I think that we can do what we can in life to try and succeed the goals we want to do. But I think overall everything is already made up. Their is a plan made for us. Sometimes it just comes down to whether or not we are able to accept it. And as far as the end justifies the means. That is basically saying that I don't care how I get there, as long as it ends good for me than I am happy. Which I would disagree with. I want to feel worthy of the things that I have done, but not to the point where I disregard anything in my way. It will be interesting how Macbeth portrays this.

Macbeth

I believe that you are the maker of your own destiny. I believe if you are you will succeed most of the time. You will have to try hard. If you aim your goals high and you dont reach it completely you will still hit high, if you aim low you will always hit low. I think if your goal is to go to college and graduate and you do accomplish that you will be successful. I think once you reach the end it will have a mean.

Death of a Salesman

I think the characters have a lot in common. Willy wanted money and to be happy. Happy just did what his dad wanted him to do to make him happy. Biff just wanted his dad to be happy with him. In the end Biff ended up not caring anymore. He did what he wanted. Willy gave up, he ended his own life. Happy just went with the flow and he will not end up happy in the long run.
