Memoires O'Mulligan & Rizzo

The reasons why we chose these topics or events in the book because we see them as major turning point in the character of Macbeth. Firstly, the death of Duncan was a major turning point because he had committed a murder and he felt guilty but it went to his head, now he was King and very paranoid. This lead the to murder of Banquo, he thought that Banquo would of betrayed him, so he murdered him. When he started to hallucinate and see the ghost of Banquo this lead to a degeneration of his character. The ghost made him very weary of everyone and it scared him of the afterlife. That is why we chose these topics or events because they are what we feel have shaped Macbeth into the character that he became. The pictures that we used are penciled drawings that depict different scenes in the book. We chose them because they bring the whole layout together and make it look professional. The layout we chose because we felt that it suited Macbeth, it would best suit Macbeth because we felt that it had an older rough texture too it. Kind of like it has been written on a scroll, so while you read this it feels like your in the medieval times and that it best shows the idea of a King, Thane, Noblemen, Kinsman, Knights and the list goes on. Same with the italics text we felt that it gave the sense of reading something from the medieval era, since they spent time on their writing the make sure it was perfect. The videos we chose because they are actual scenes from the movie, we wanted to compare his emotions, thoughts, and actions with the ones that showed in our blog. Well we hope that you have enjoyed reading our blog on Macbeth, we had a blast making it.
Sir Thomas Mulligan & Sir Lucas Rizzo

Thy hath done another deed.

“To be thus is nothing; But to be safely thus; our fears in Banquo.”
Banquo. Thou knew more than he appeared. This deed hath be done or the crown of Scotland was at risk. The three weird sisters told of a prophecy of Banquo fathering many crowns o’Scotland.
Banquo hath been suspicious of thy, since the deed of Duncan hath been done. An idea came into thy brain full of scorpions, that thy should hire murders and they shall do the deed. So, thy done it. Thy told thou murders that Banquo was the heavy hand hath bow’d them to thou graves and that Banquo is there enemy, as he is mine and that it was their duty to do this deed. Lady Macbeth hath no idea of this arrangement. Once Banquo hath been gone, thy hath only scotch’d the snake not kill’d it: and there remains danger in her former tooth. This danger that remains is Macduff. Macduff hath not been at thy banquet, thou hast fled to England. There is many dangers thy can feel it. Young Fleance hath escaped thou near death, and the three weird witchs prophecized Banquo birthing many crowns o'Scotland, and with Fleance free thou may be a danger to me. Thy must have thou murderers to hunt young Fleance and slaughter him, so that my throne and crown are safe.

Why must thou haunt thee?

There the grown serpent lies; there the worm's fled, how I do wish for him to be vanish'd. For that Banquo, fear hath come over me, thy castle and thy wench. For it not for her, guilt wouldst be ins-toed within me, Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor, King of Scotland. Though he lies beneath thee, murder'd, cut in such ways thy doth not know, such horrors would't be do I see him again.

There! He, Banquo, which of you have done this? Haunt thee, I do fear such things. Banquo, death hath struck thee, why must thou haunt me, Macbeth, king? This cannot be, for this there must be reason, perhaps the three sisters'? My punishment for the death of Banquo? Oh such hauntings aren't possible. Banquo, ghost o'Banquo, I fear thee, evil and horror I feel around me. Banquo be gone! Stop! Stop! Banquo thou canst be here forever! I fear thee, I fear such prophecies of you! Be gone I say, be gone, ghost o'Banquo!

Where? Where is thee now? Ghost o'Banquo, I doth fear thee. If't shall come back, fear, horror, guilt, thoughts of't shall murder me. Insane am I? I think not, cannot anyone else see this Banquo I have murder'd but now see? For fear and guilt will punish Thane of Cawdor.

The deed hath been done...

Why? Why hath thy murdered the King? Doth thou have a reason for doing this deed, this horrible deed? The reason is not just, reason for doing this I have none. First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against deed; then, as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angels trumpet-tongued against the deep damnation of his taking-off, and pity, like a naked new born babe. He hath honor'd me late, why did thee pursue such a deed. Dearest wife, for it not your ambition and desire, I wouldst have pursu'd such a deed. Hath such a deed made me a man? The death o'thee Duncan, hath not made a man of thee, Macbeth. I fear that they have seen me, through the dark shadows, me, Macbeth, in hand a simple dagger and in mind Duncan's death. Me thought I heard a voice cry "Sleep no more! Macbeth doth murder sleep." Still it cried, "sleep no more!" To all the house. "Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more. Macbeth shall sleep no more!" To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself. Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst! I'll go no more: I am afraid to think what I have done; look on't again I dare not.
