MacBeth

Before I start talking about what I though of the play, I would first like to talk about Macbeth. Macbeth is one of the few Shakespearean plays that I actually thoroughly enjoyed.  I think one of the reasons why I enjoyed the characters is because I didn't like them. This is really something special for me as someone who is usually apathetic to characters portrayed in books. Macbeth, his wife, and his twisted council all spurred within me a hate for their horrible antics. But it is also these same emotions that allowed me to love and care about the characters. I remember constantly wondering about what the dramatic foreshadowing at the beginning of the play meant for the characters and how their horrible plotting would result in. Now going to the play. I can't say i was disappointed, but I can't say it lived up to the hype it was given. I probably would have gone to see it myself even if it wasn't required, but I don't understand why it was. There was nothing particularly unique about it and it kinda gave the originally disturbing play with very diverse characters a feel of dramatic irony. Too much irony, so much it made it seem like a comedy.  I still like the new generation style they took to the play and I enjoyed the way they interpreted the story. One thing that really struck me was the orchestra. Although I won't be running back to the theaters to view another play, I certainly have not crossed this activity of my list of hobbies that i would consider spending more time into during the school year. Patrick stewert as Macbeth, lols.
