Learning Log 3

  'Macbeth', to me, is basically about loyalty, greed, temptations, betrayal and retribution. It is about a loyal and brave soldier who fought for his land and King, Duncan. But later part of the story shows three witches mysteriously appeared after the two wars. The witches first told him that he would received the 'Thane of  Cawdor' tittle, then they also foresee that Macbeth will get the King tittle too. Macbeth, of course, didn't believed what they had told him, but right after they vanished into thin air, a soldier riding on a ferocious horse came to give Macbeth the tittle of 'Thane of Cawdor'. Macbeth was delighted not only because he received the tittle, and also like what the witches said, he will be the King sooner or later. He believed those words as the witches' prediction accurate.  The witches not only pestered the Macbeth, they came to his wife too. His wife was a greedy lady and she influenced Macbeth to assassinate the King so he will have the tittle. Macbeth was a loyal soldier, he didn't agree on that at first, but with his greedy wife tempting him with the glory and wealth he would get, he was finally persuaded. His assassination was a success though, but the problem slowly came to light, they found out who was the murderer. And as time past, other Kingdoms joined in the force to fight Macbeth to seek justice for King Duncan. Macbeth, in the other hand, he was having a hard time in a way that his wife had died from depression and him also have mentally problems such as seeing ghosts and spirits of the people he shouldn't have killed, King Duncan and Banquo. Out of the blue, the witch came for Macbeth again, they told him that he would not be killed by a man that is born by a woman, upon hearing this, Macbeth did not feel scare anymore as he knew that no human in the world that is not born from a woman. Later, the war finally broke out, Macbeth was fighting as courageously as before, but he was killed in th end, killed by a man that was not normally born, the man was dug out from his mother's womb as his mother had died. Therefore, the man received the King tittle.    

  My favorite character is the man who was unnaturally born as he had uphold the justice by killing Macbeth who had betrayed his own king that had treated him so well.
 
  I learned that we being a human shouldn't be greedy and being greed wouldn't get us so far. I have also learned that we must return favor to people who had help us and not taking their help as granted.
