Identify an example of imagery used in the play so far and explain how it develops in one of the play's themes.
LOTF Fri. Oct. 11/19 Ch. 8-12 (see Lord of the Flies transcript PDF file on edsby) or following link: http://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/literature/books_in_PDF/Lord%20of%20the%20Flies.pdf 1-Explain the irony in Jack’s saying, “I’m not going to play any longer. Not with you” (Ch. 8, p. 98). 2-What is Simon’s “ancient, inescapable recognition” upon speaking to the lord of the flies (Ch. 8, p. 111)? 3-Why do the boys attack Simon? What does his death indicate about how the boys have changed?
During the thunder and lightning when the witches meet again: “FIRST WITCH: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!” (Act 1, Scene 3, Page 3) Apparently these witches control Macbeth’s fate. And future. This shows the theme, power in the story. Because at that moment when the first witch said this to Macbeth, he had no idea what she is talking about because he was just a warrior. Thunder and lightning shows chaos (like Simons death scene in Lord of the Flies) and mystery, you don’t know what is going to happen next or when the thunder is going to be over. This could relate to the theme, deceit too. They may trick Macbeth to do something that he shouldn’t have done.
ReplyDeleteIn Act 1 Scene 3, where the very first words are the stage directions: "Thunder. The Three Witches enter". This quote paints the image of Act 1 Scene 3. Where there is thunder and lightning, which gives a feeling of an ominous presence, with some chaos. Later on in this scene, the Three Witches meet up with Macbeth and prophesize that he will be Thane of Cawdor and Thane of Scotland. The quote being: "FIRST WITCH All hail, Macbeth! Hail to you, thane of Glamis!
ReplyDeleteSECOND WITCH All hail, Macbeth! Hail to you, thane of Cawdor!
THIRD WITCH All hail, Macbeth, the future king"! This imagery of thunder and lightning and the prophecy of the witches develops one of the prominent themes in the play, known as ambition. The sudden thought of being told that you will become the future king of Scotland during a chaotic image leads to ambition, and is an example of imagery in the play that develops in one of the play's themes.
I think we are all discussing the same theme but from different perspectives.
DeleteIn Act 1 scene 3 there’s lightning and thunder where the three witches meet up with Macbeth: “FIRST WITCH: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!” and predict that he will be thane of Cawdor. The three witches have power over Macbeth which shows the theme of power, lightning and thunder show disruption which means the witches’ prophecies will have a great impact on Macbeth which may lead him to do certain actions he shouldn’t have done.
ReplyDelete“Stars hide your fires, Let not see my black and deep desires”(Act 1, scene 4)
ReplyDeleteOne of the novel’s theme is Conflict of good and evil. Shakespeare used words such as Light, dark, night, day in the novel to show the good and evil.
Every bad thing in the novel happens at night and this quote shows Macbeth calls on the night to hide his evil thoughts.(he was thinking about murdering king Duncan)
