Blog entry 3.2



This video clip appeals to a lot because it starts with Macbeth's face floating between clouds and lightnings while it brakes little by little into pieces symbolizing his own destruction. Also, the meeting of the witches who look very evil is very important because this is the time when they made the prophecy and started to talk about facing Macbeth and the bad things that are about to happen. After they placed a curse to the air when they said the phrase "filthy air", Macbeth and his friend Duncan came out in a battle and won. The witches appeared again and told Macbeth and his friend in a very unclear way what their destiny was going to be. Duncan was going to be happier and father of kings and Macbeth was going to be a king hereafter. The king received the news and good things about Macbeth's victories so he decided to meet him and tell him how much He trusted him. Then Macbeth started to see the darkness inside him to become a king and started to understand the witches prophecies. He went to see his wife who already spoke with the witches about Macbeth's destiny. She told him to stop being an innocent flower and become the serpent underneath and leave the rest to her. The king came to their house and made a party to honer Macbeth as the kings man. The witches put the spell on Macbeth and his wife convinced him to murder the king with a dagger that became part to his imagination as well as the crown.
In this video the witches are the evil ones who will destroy Macbeth, the king is the powerful man who is supposed to die in order for Macbeth to destroy himself with greed. The wife is like Eve in the bible, who pushes her husband to murder the king. Macbeth is the murderer and the witches' instrument to kill the king. The dagger symbolizes death and destruction, and the crown the power and ambition for Macbeth to take. The clouds represent turbulence of bad times approaching. This video is the beginning of the destruction of Macbeth in this fascinating story.
