I can see many of our classmates have
talked about hallucinating Macbeast. Macbeast has hallucinated of flying dagger
sort like that. Dagger. Dagger has struck my start-to-be-suffocating haired
head. Why dagger? Here what I have found on dagger.

As in my own prior knowledge, I found many
assassin characters in cartoons and video games are armed with dagger, and
their moves almost all named back-stab.
Dagger and back-stab, are very common to be
associated together. Backstab is a form of traitor and treason. In the play,
Macbeast have backstabbed his closest companion, Banquo. Soon, he hallucinated
of dagger. This, in my opinion, is a way for Shakespeare to strengthen the
backstabbing event of Macbeth in the story.
Why Macbeastdidn’t get crazy over a broadsword? The English and
Scottish are well known for their mastery in broadsword as the Japanese are
popular with their katanas. And the Spanish if I am not mistaken with their
pointy sword. I don’t know what they are called. Ok wait I just go and google
it. Haha. Right, the Spanish swords are called the Rapier. Such a monstrous
name.
Back to Macbeth play, I can see how we can
strengthen some values and points just using symbols. Sometimes, we tend to over-write
to make sure our reader/audience gets our message. But symbols, they are just
powerful!
Try doing it on the mobile. hahaha. Your fingers will curse you (prolly only one particular finger)
ReplyDeleteBack-stabbing is a running theme in a lot of Shakespeare's plays. Just goes to show how imbedded this practice is in the depths of our nature. Some happen unintentionally (as some people would claim to save their asses). Why do people betray (albeit without the intention)? For survival? Is that a valid reason even? Have you been betrayed? Have you betrayed?
