2. Written answers to the following questions: a. Who am I? (think rank, age, gender, etc, not just character name) I all three of the witches. I am probably between the ages of 20-30 years old. My gender is mysterious to other characters for example, in Act Three Scene One, Banquo says to the witches “Upon your skinny lips. You should be woman, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.” Because of the witches unsettle gender appearance Banquo and other characters are unsure if the witches are men or women but they always refer to them as the “weird sisters” which makes the presumption that they are women. b. Where am I? (situation and location) What kind of home do you have? The witches surround a boiling cauldron; in a…
The cauldron of story is a metaphor used to help understand the formation and adaption of myths and fantasy. The metaphor identifies a cauldron as a massive pot holding all aspects of stories that simmer and brew together forming the soup which is served up by the author/storyteller as the story itself. The bones found in the soup represent the different aspects that make up the story such as the characters, the traits, the location, the foe, etc. And over time it can be hard to pull out the…
the South China Sea is becoming a cauldron in the world. The geopolitical analyst Robert D. Kaplan has formulated his book Asia’s Cauldron on this thesis. Asia's Cauldron sets some high goals for itself and mostly flourishes in presenting a holistic look at the competing economic and diplomatic interests of the nations along the South China Sea. The sea links the Indian Ocean with the western pacific being bounded by China in the north, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam in the west, Taiwan and…
All of the three films talked about the changes of the Indians’ life after the arrival of the Europeans in different levels or aspects. The differences lied in the Indians’ reactions or behavior, in regard to change, adaption, resistance and revitalization, when they confronted the outsiders. In the Cauldron of War, we could see huge impacts the Europeans brought on the various aspects of the Indians’ life. First of all, the fur trade introduced by the Europeans changed the Indians’…
And some characters are able to overcome it. I showed this by having some of the witches main ingredients outside the cauldron. In Act 1 scene 3, Banquo says “Were such things here as we do speak about? Or have we eaten on the insane root That takes the reason prisoner?” The main ingredients that have been inside the cauldron are all contained from animals, plants and humans. The quote that Banquo refers to shows he does not consider the prophecies seriously, and rather thinks them as some kind…
Cerridwen Keeper of the Cauldron, Goddess of the Moon, magic, agriculture, poetry, music, art, prophecy, fertility and science. Cerridwen's name is derived from the Celtic word "cerru", meaning cauldron. Cerridwen herself and the cauldron are a lot a like in the respect that they both symbolize the transformation powers of magic, rebirth, creative inspiration and wisdom. So because of this Cerridwen is known as the Patron Goddess of wizards and witches. Cerridwen is a shape-shifting, lunar…
Bai Xioachun’s first month at the cave residence on Purple Cauldron Mountain, the atmosphere was quiet and no trouble was stirred with the Purple Cauldron disciples.

He carefully inspected the pellet in front of him then guffawed excitedly. He had turned the furnace four times in the past month, all whilst attempting to find a new…
In “Macbeth” by Shakespeare, In Act 4 scenes 1 pages 130-144, I read about Three witches in a cave stirring a cauldron with a mix of disgusting ingredients, all the while chanting “double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble” (p130 lines 10-11). Hecate makes an appearance and sing along but leaves before Macbeth enters. He demands answers from the witches about his future. The witches use a spell to summon some apparitions. The first apparition is an armed head that warns…
goddess of death, fertility, regeneration, inspiration, magick, enchantment and knowledge. Her totem animal is a white sow which reflects her identity as the Goddess of the Underworld. There is no mention in Welsh mythology concerning her parentage or origins. However, we do know that Cerridwens’ home is located in North Wales, and is underwater in the center of Bala Lake, and is known as The Land beneath the Waves. In Celtic Welsh myth Cerridwen has a cauldron named Amen, which is filled with a…
