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.

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…

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.

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…

234 Tonge). In terms of The Tempest, Frank Kermode states that Prospero’s magic is “rough” because it is “unsubtle by comparison with the next degree of the mage’s enlightenment” (Kermode 396). Cosmo Corfield evaluates this viewpoint in his article Why Does Prospero Abjure His “Rough Magic”? Stating that Kermodes ‘ “Rough” magic implies neither a set back nor moral dubiousness: Prospero simply sheds his magic as a snake sheds its outworn skin, and proceeds to higher things’ (p.33 Corfield).
