Durring Act Four we actually got to see some perspective on Macbeth from other characters which I very much enjoyed. I really liked getting to see Macduff, and he was probably one of my favorite characters for a lot of reasons. The fact that he's not just a cold man, and that he does actually value human life. For example his quote to Malcolm after Malcolm suggested killing Macbeth for revenge, like a man "I shall do so/But I must also feel it as a man/I cannot but remember such things were/That were most precious to me. Did heaven look on," Showing that he did grieve for his family, and that violence shouldn't always be a man's first reaction to something negative. Overall I did really like getting some new perspective on Macbeth's actions. Perspective was something that I really did enjoy in act four. And the perspective on many of the characters
Also a song about perspective for you!
Macduff is pretty awesome. He becomes Macbeth's foil after Banquo's death.
ReplyDeleteInteresting lines in the song. I would love more commentary on it.
