The Brits, and the world community will allow Scotland Yard to make a show, but we both know nothing will result from their investigation.\n\nI seem to remember the infamous "Poisoned Umbrella" hit from many years back; this assassination too had all the hallmarks of Russian intrigue and involvement-- and it also remains unsolved.\n\nWorld powers, and their henchmen, generally skate on these types of acts.\n\n\nToo bad I don't read Cyrillic- I need a translation for the answer below

Well, I don't know if it's a motif, exactly, but you've got the theme right away of the Witches, who have their own agenda in the whole picture, and pop up now and then; the motif of "prophecies". Although Macbeth wants to believe they're all true, he scoffs at the idea that he would be defeated by one who was not born of woman. Lady Macbeth is actually more vicious and ambitious than he. By trying to avoid the various warnings re: Banquo et al, they bring about their own doom.\n\nI think Act 2, brings out more that Macbeth's "underlings" actually posess more leadership than he.\n\nHope that helps a little bit.

Well, the movie and the play were similar with the same big songs in it. \nIf you didn't like the movie i don't think you'll like the play.

Here's an analysis of it, and also a modern day English version.  I hope it helps.\n\nI like Shakespeare's work, but I understand how anyone can have difficulty with it.

You may want to mention that Banquo highlights the change in Macbeth's personality.  They were friends and then Macbeth had him murdered.  Macbeth became power-hungry. Banquo was also curious--remember the witches predictions about Banquo being the father of leaders.  Banquo's ghost is symbolic of Macbeth's conscience.  You may also want to note the name play that Shakespeare used:  Banquo was killed when he was to be present at a banquet.  Get it?  Banquo Banquet.  Same as his son; he tells his son Fleance to Flee. Fleance-Flee.  Shakespeare does that a lot.

Works of Shakespeare\n\nPlays\n\nA number of Shakespeare's plays have the reputation of being among the greatest in the English language and in Western literature. His plays cover tragedy, history, and comedy and have been translated into every major living language, in addition to being continually performed round the world.\n\nAs was normal in the period, Shakespeare based many of his plays on the work of other playwrights and recycled older stories and historical material. For example, Hamlet (c. 1601) is probably a reworking of an older, lost play (the so-called Ur-Hamlet), and King Lear is an adaptation of an older play, King Leir. For plays on historical subjects, Shakespeare relied heavily on two principal texts. Most of the Roman and Greek plays are based on Plutarch's Parallel Lives (from the 1579 English translation by Sir Thomas North[2]), and the English history plays are indebted to Raphael Holinshed's 1587 Chronicles.\n\nShakespeare's plays tend to be placed into three main stylistic groups: his early comedies and histories (such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Henry IV, Part 1), his middle period (which includes his most famous tragedies, Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear), and his later romances (such as The Winter's Tale and The Tempest). The earlier plays tend to be more light-hearted, while the middle-period plays tend to be darker, addressing such issues as betrayal, murder, lust, power, and egotism. By contrast, his late romances feature a redemptive plotline with a happy ending and the use of magic and other fantastical elements. However, the borders between these groups are never clear.\n\nSome of Shakespeare's plays first appeared in print as a series of quartos, but most remained unpublished until 1623 when the posthumous First Folio was published by two actors who had been in Shakespeare's company; John Hemings and William Condell. The traditional division of his plays into tragedies, comedies, and histories follows the logic of the First Folio. However, modern criticism has labelled some of these plays "problem plays" as they elude easy categorisation, or perhaps purposefully break generic conventions, and has introduced the term "romances" for the later comedies.\n\nThere are many controversies about the exact chronology of Shakespeare's plays. In addition, the fact that Shakespeare did not produce an authoritative print version of his plays during his life accounts for part of the textual problem often noted with his plays, which means that for several of the plays there are different textual versions. As a result, the problem of identifying what Shakespeare actually wrote became a major concern for most modern editions. Textual corruptions also stem from printers' errors, compositors' misreadings or wrongly scanned lines from the source material. Additionally, in an age before standardised spelling, Shakespeare often wrote a word several times in a different spelling, contributing further to the transcribers' confusions. Modern scholars also believe Shakespeare revised his plays throughout the years, sometimes leading to two existing versions of one play.\n\nSonnets\n\nShakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 poems that deal with such themes as love, beauty, politics, and mortality. All but two first appeared in the 1609 publication entitled Shakespeare's Sonnets; numbers 138 ("When my love swears that she is made of truth") and 144 ("Two loves have I, of comfort and despair") had previously been published in a 1599 miscellany entitled The Passionate Pilgrim.\n\nThe conditions under which the sonnets were published is unclear. The 1609 text is dedicated to one "Mr. W. H.", who is described as "the only begetter" of the poems by the publisher Thomas Thorpe. It is not known who this man was although there are many theories. In addition, it is not known whether the publicatio

Weapon's of Shakespeare's Macbeth's time would have included swords, spears, adze, ball and chain, gaff, war hammer, whip, bow and arrow, crossbows, mace, clubs and cudgels, flail, lances, pikes, trebuchet, catapults, battering rams, daggers and different kinds of knives.  Body armour was quite important.  \n\nHope this helps.

Lol, where do you go to school person that answered the question first.  You put it paranthesis, ( Like this ), and page number like if I wanted to quote Shakespear from Macbeth ( Shakespeare, 45 ). But the book Macbeth must be in References or Works Cited.

I hope it wasn't due four days ago. I find it ironic that with all the concern about teen-suicide, that Romeo and Juliet is usually required reading at this age. I think the Leonardo DiCaprio version that came out is a good version for understanding the universal values that Shakespeare's generation shares with today.\n\nAnger, though played with gently, still leads to death.\n\nFew know what passions beat within the heart of another.\n\nFirst love, is beautiful and pure, and blind to the misery the future holds.\n\nAs for what I learned...while love may be true, deception never serves it well.

My daughter just did a report on Macbeth, she checked out a book from our local library called Shakespear for dummies...lol  I know it sounds awful but it was very helpful.

The modern incarnation is basically Texas' Bureau of Criminal Investigations.  They are under the Department of Public Safety.  There are a few books but the museam website is the link below.

Dude, the movie was only like an hour long.  Why don't you just watch it?  \n\nThe first crime was of the girl who was murdered- she stole money from people and a watch from a woman she was house-sitting for.  \nThe second crime was AGAINST the girl who was murdered- the main character murdered her.\n\nSeriously, just watch it.  It was a great movie, and your prof. will know you BSed it if you didn't watch it.

Ok, I will help - but I will not give you the answers, that's not help.  If the Shakespearean-era language is difficult to get through, I suggest checking out a noted version of the play (Penguin Publishing has some excellent, quite affordable paperback versions) to help you understand who's saying what.  You might also try to find a full production of the play or a video version. (Zeffirelli's is visually stunning, but leaves out a lot of the by-play.  The newer version with DiCaprio & what's-her-name is visually odd, but leaves in more of the dialogue.  Most libraries also will have the odd BBC or Canadian production in their media library, and these are usually complete dialogue without anything too extreme in the way of visuals.)\n\n1. Think about social conventions of the time - Juliet is a young, unmarried but highly marriageable woman.  Also, think about any parents' natural reaction if they were to find their daughter in the company of any young man - especially if that young man was a member of a family you hated.\n\n2 & 4 are very closely related.  Think about modern divorce rates in marriages that are made quickly - then think about a society where annulments were possible but difficult and divorce as such was not really an option.\n\n3. Reread the scene, and think about Juliet being a young woman besotted, while the nurse is somewhat of a doddering old lady who tends to ramble on and on and on (and some of her lines do amount to Elizabethan toilet humour, by the way).\n\n5.  Think about the purpose of a foil.  Mercutio & Nurse are both close to the main characters, and marginally involved/possibly condoning their behaviours.  Pick out a few key points in the act and you should have no trouble getting 8 to 10 sentences.  For example, do these characters encourage this lovelorn behaviour between the main characters? How? Why?\n\nPersonal sidenote/pet peeve about this play: Why does everyone perform the Queen Mab speech as though it's a huge dramatic foreshadowing?  It is, even the densest people grasp that after seeing the play once - but keep in mind Mercutio's playful, sarcastic character - why on earth would he of a sudden burst into this long prophetic rant?  I've gotten a few people to read it as a mocking, sarcastic sort of monologue, and have been far more pleased with it...

I think that they should be read. Granted, yes, some of the scenes are a bit "racy" but they are great works of literature. But they are accurate as far as human actions go (though Romeo and Juliet were just stupid in my opinion) Anyone who has not read any Shakespeare will be missing out. He was a uniquely clever genius of comedic relief, irony, and double meanings.
