Last Blog:(

Something I noticed that stuck throughout the whole book was the witches. The first time I remember the witches was when Macbeth came in and we were introduced to them. This is what makes me remember the prophecy throughout the whole book. We slowly learn more about it and as the ending of the book comes we understand the outcome of the prophecy.

The outcome of the prophecy was nothing that I expected. It was a reversed truth. This causes me to remember to beginning of the book were I thought the witches were only good to Macbeth! The reserved truth of the prophecy is that the witches told Macbeth that he would somebody become king. Macbeth was impatient and started to kill people and thats where I think the the lie to the truth comes in!

Macbeth Quotes and reading times

I spent about 3 hours on my portfolio project, 30 minutes reviewing for macbeth quiz, and I read for about an hour of Lauren Conrad: fashion book


Foul is fair and fair is foul

This quote is obviously a quote that sticks out to most people. When I hear this I dont automatically think of Macbeth like most people because usually I am trying to figure it out. If you break it up into two parts (foul is fair) and (fair is foul) you can really understand just what Shakespeare means. Some people may disagree but this is what I think of when I hear Foul is fair and Fair is foul.

Foul is fair- sometimes being foul or something foul can lead to a fair thing. I do not think that this is true all the time but for Macbeth I feel like this quote describes it perfectly.

Fair is foul- now even though foul is fair is the complete opposite of  fair is foul this also makes since. Sometimes for things to be fair they had to be foul. For intense to make something fair you may have to split something half way but that could be foul to the person who was suppose to get more causing fair to be foul.
