disrupted with thoughts of Banquo plotting against his possible reign. Macbeth's thoughts of good are overpowered by evil and bitter ones, this is shown during his soliloquy when he says: “Put rancours in the vessel of my peace” (3.1.67).

For this play the play was screened in a movie theater type setting, however the play was performed on a proscenium in London. While the proscenium was perfect for the play, the theatre setting was less than ideal for watching the play. During major scenes the camera only focused in on one aspect of the stage, not fully revealing all that was happening.

Orlando’s poems are. As well, Shakespeare shows lovers as absent minded people who just sit around “sighing like furnace” while making a “woeful ballad” to their “mistress’ eyebrow” (p.109 2.7 146-148). This which of course is not completely true, yet, it does point out the faults of those in love. Also the melancholy character, Jacques, is quick to ridicule the lovers, even telling Orlando “The worst fault you have is to be in love” (p. 125 3.2.256). While Shakespeare may not completely share…

different than shakespear's world in three ways. One, man and woman where not equals. Two, actors where treated differently. And three, Shakespeare used new words and differnt words than we use today. The first way I mentioned that our world is differnt than Shakespeare's is that man and women where not equal.

In Shakespeare tragedies we can learn a lot about ourselves as Human beings. By examining the darkest depths of human nature we can learn what leads people to sometimes take such dire drastic measures and hopefully not go there ourselves.
