From seventeen years till now almost foursore Here I lived I, but now live here no more.”  I didn't want him dying on my time, so I went to find  somewhere or someone who could help us with food. Right when Adam was giving up hope “Dear master , I cannot go no further. O, I die for food. Here lie I down and measure out my grave. Farewel kind master.” (2.6.60-63) I told him to have more heart, “No greater heart in thee?

Hey this is orlando son of Sir Rowland, younger brother of Oliver, who to me is very strict. Good thing I had him in a choke hold the other day for threatening me. Duke Frederick had me to challenge this wrestler guy names Charles,. The Duke had the match held in The Forest of Arden, couldn't he had picked it somewhere better , even though the forest is enchanted, a public place would have been better. All Duke Frederick wanted to see was a good wrestling match, so they had me challenging Charles, my intention was to  beat him, even though his size was big! I still had that as my goal to beat him, and yet so I did, even though Duke Frederick didn't think I was such a great honor, just because I was one of the sons of Sir Rowland, he said if only I were another man’s child. After the match I meet this very sweet girl, who gave me a chain from her neck, she had given me “What passion hangs, these weights upon my tongue? I cannot speak to her, yet she used conference.” (1.2.258-259) I think I'm in love. Me and my oloder brother don’t get along well he feels he should be in charge since my Father isn't here, but all I want is to know how to be a gentle man.

LRJ #6 For Macbeth, Final.

"I have thee not, and yet i see thee still. art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight?" he does respond the question of the dagger, it is just passion in becoming the king so in which he desires for something to change his mind, so he  draws a dagger to get him to kill Duncan. There are many question told in this play that Macbeth ask, but not all were answered but he have a glimpse image of what he thought the answer could be, “Fair is Foul and Foul Is Fair”.

LRJ # 5 Act 5 Macbeth

The themes that are presented are repentance, revenge, and love. Lady macbeth has bee out off the play for a long period of time, but now in this act she shows up again and she is not the strong lady hat was seen in the beginning of the play, “Here’s the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little. Oh , oh , oh!” (5.1.50-52) now Lady Macbeth is hallucinating about the crime she helped commit, and so now she would want to repent due to her sleep walking/ talking. Revenge, Macduff wants revenge on Macbeth for having his family killed, so he now Is motivated to have Macbeth Slain. “Let our just censures Attend the true event and put we on industrious soldiership.” (5.4.16-17). Macbeth, even though more bolder than ever he sill has a weak spot for his lady, he doesn't show it well but he shows he cares about his lady, Pluck from the memory a rotted sorrow” (5.3.42-43) he I demanding the doctor to do what he can to get his Wife feeling better, while he tells him this, Macbeth is getting prepared to fight.

The image pattern of the forest is used a lot in Act five, it is important because it is a prophecy that the apparitions gave Macbeth. It is what  Macbeth shall fear, “I will not be afraid  of death and bane Till Birnam Forest come to Dunsiane” (5.3.61-62). “Let every soldier hew him down a bough And bear't before him. Thereby shall we shadow The numbers of our host and make discovery Err in repost of us.” (5.4.4-7). Malcolm is now taking control of the army, and he tells everyone to get a tree and become the forest of Birman, and so just like the Apparitions said, to fear the Forest.

LRJ #4 Macbeth Act 4

The scene in act four where Lady Macduff is enraged about her husband leaving her and her child, and she wonders very much that where did he go, and she wonders why she left if he had everything there, “To leave his wife, to leave his babes, His mansion, and his titles in a place From whence himself does fly?” (4.2.6-8). She wonders why would he leave his mansion, his kids, and his title as a husband. The purpose was to show that Lady Macduff is a strong character, who strongly believes that Macduff is a traitor, and that he is dead “Sirrah, your father’s dead; and what will you do now? How will you live?” “As birds do, mother.. With what I get, I mean; and as do they.” (4.2.31-34), but also it is to show that Macduff’s son is a wise and intelligent kid, to everything his mother says about his father he’s has something to quickly say that will not make his father seem not like a traitor. “If he were dead, you’d weep for him: if you would not, it were a good sigh that I should quickly have a new father” (4.2.62-64) on response that he gives to his mother is saying that if his father were dead she would be crying and so she is not crying to it must mean that she has a new husband. It affects the play very greatly because they are murdered by Macbeth’s murderers so yet he sends them to kill Macduff’s family also.

Macduff in this act shows that he wants to get Malcolm to return to the kingdom and rule again because Macbeth is destroying everything, so he testes Malcolm to see his attributes, but Malcolm plays along with it and he acts that he doesn't know anything about being a ruler, “But I have none. The king-becoming graces, As justice, verity temperance...” (4.2.65-66) Malcolm goes on and on about what he can’t do as a ruler. Macduff shows that he is very disappointed in Malcolm “fit to govern? No, not fit to live.” he means this as that Malcolm is so useless that he doesn't deserve to be a king, nor to be alive.

In this act Macbeth has changes a whole lot, now he has no repentance on what all the things he has done, but not he demands to know about what is against him and what will come against him in the future, “That will never be done. Who can impress the forest, bid the tree Unfix his earthbound root?” (4.1.94-95) what the apparitions told him he wants to know what the meaning of the forest, and that who is going to move it around. He is now wanting to remain being the king and not be apprehended by anyone, that is why he killed Macduff’s family, to not let Macduff get in the way, but he did the exact opposite, Macduff wanted revenge.

LRJ #3 For Act 3 of Macbeth

Macbeth is changing very dramatically, he has become a king and he will do anything to keep it that way, even f he has to kill he’s own ally in battle,”Both of you Know Banquo was your enemy” (3.1.116-117) Macbeth is telling the murderers to think as Banquo as a enemy, so they wont be killing Macbeth’s friend, and she maybe Macbeth wouldn't think of this action as killing his friend but enemy. He’s growing bold inside but he is still scared about his past actions, for example, when he sent the murderers to kill Banquo, after he died, Macbeth saw a ghost of Banquo at the table sitting in his seat, he freaks out and asks who had done that, they ask him what they did he respond, “Thou canst not say I did it. Never shake thy gory locks me.” (3.4.50-51) Macbeth is freaking out because he is seeing the ghost and he is telling them they cannot blame him for what as happened to banquo. Lady Macbeth is growing weaker than Macbeth, she’s getting scared from his actions, she’s still trying to help him move on from what has happened, “Impostors to true fear, would well become A woman’s story at a winter’s fire” (3.4.64-65).

A image patterns that is used in Act three is the imagery of night, “A light, a light!” (3.3.18) the murders attack Banquo at night right after the sun goes down, “The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.” (3.3.5) saying that there is still some sunlight in the horizon, the murderess wait until the sun goes down to commit there strike. “It will be rain tonight” as soon as Banquo says those words that is when the murderess attack him, but the Fleance gets away.

The themes of act three are expressed by showing the ghost, in the play it is just the spirit of Banquo appearing only to Macbeth, or it could only be a figment of Macbeth's imagination and because his guiltiness that he feels by making up images of Banquo sitting down on his seat.

LRJ #2 for Macbeth Act 2.

Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth are different attributes,  Macbeth is the king he's strong but underneath he acts like a child. There are positive and negative attributes that he has, the positive is that when he sets his mind to it he will do it, and he has the prophecy in which he can believe in. He also has the ability to be a ruler and he is a great ruler. But he has more negative attributes than his good. When he murdered Duncan he didn't have a bad feeling, but until he came out with the daggers he started freaking out and trying to repent on his actions "Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red." (2.2.64-67), Macbeth has a great repent that he said that the blood that he has will never wash off not even in the great waters of Neptune, so he will have that on his conscious. Another bad attribute is that when he blacks out and just starts rambling he could reveal what he has done, with out knowing it "Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage make's love known?" (2.3.118-119) Macbeth could have easily  told everyone that he killed Duncan, so instead Lady Macbeth fainted to not let Macbeth continue with his preaching.  

Lady Macbeth also has positive and negative attributes, she is a beautiful person but then again she is a very determined lady who once she says something that is what she is going to do. The positives are that she can act very well in the time of need, like when she fainted to get the attention away from Macbeth. She also is a great wife to Macbeth, she wanted to comfort him when he was going crazy. The negatives. She could be more of a man than her husband, so the prophecy might change that she would be the queen, because she actually has the courage to go do what needs to be done, “My hands are of your color but I shame To wear a heart so white.” (2.2.68-69) she meant that she just committed the same crime that Macbeth did but she didn't hold herself against anything.

One image pattern that is used is the blood that is figured trough out the whole act, in which the killing of Duncan help explain, it is important because it shows how much in detail Shakespeare can get with his writing. “Go get some water And wash this fitly witness from you hand” (2.2.50-51) in this quote Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth to wash the blood off his hands because it is a sigh that he murdered someone so it will expose him.

LRJ #1 on Act 1 of Macbeth.

Macbeth in act one is more like a calm person. But him and Banquo are like two partners who fight with on side of each other having there friends back in battle, “As cannons overcharged with double cracks, So they doubly redouble  stroke upon the foe” (1.2.36-38), it says that they were working together like cannons with two explosion shoot off, so they deliver twice the damage, so they are a team that the Captain shows to be fearful. Macbeth is more into the great thought that he is the one who will be king so he isn't skeptical about the witch encounter but Banquo is, ”Or have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner?” (1.3.84-85). Banquo questions more than macbeth and ask if evil ca actually speak the truth. Lade Macbeth shows that she is a strong lady, she is so strong that she can be a man, “Come to m woman's breast and take my milk for gall.” (1.5.47-48) she means that let the spirits take her breast milk and take her woman body parts away from her to show that she is not weak female.

There are certain themes that are used in Act one of Macbeth. One is that Macbeth respects the Witches prophecy, even though he questioned what he will have to do in order to fulfill

 the prophecy, but even though he didn't think about it much until the decision to kill Duncan was made, Duncan trusteed Macbeth very much but even thought Trust is also a theme, it’s not a theme that is expressed in the most positive way, because Macbeth betrays the king and turns up to kill him. Macbeth is the right full person who should rule but only in the prophecy of the witches but either way he goes along with it.

“Till he unseamed him from nave to th’ chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements.” (1.2.21-22) this quote is striking because it shows the striking blow that Macbeth gave to his enemy, cutting him from the lower body parts all the way to his jaw, and then throwing his head into the battle field. It shows that Macbeth has no fear when he comes to fighting hand on hand combats. 

LRJ #1 Quarter 3

The theme of the play “Everyman” is that when you die, don not go looking for friends to go with you. When death comes upon, only you, your sins, your knowledge, and all your good deeds will go on with you. “And as now, God speed there in thy journey, for from thee I will depart as fast as I may.” (Anonymous 6) no one wants to pass away life for or someone else, but fellowship wished everyman good luck on the journey God sent him on, He says he will flee as far away as he can in order to not get into his problems and die. “Abide behind? Yea that I will and I may! Therefore farewell until an other day” (Anonymous 7) behind you is what Kindred told Everyman, that he was behind him through many things but he will depart away and they should meet again later in life or when faith brings them back together. Everyman has to go trough death with only his personal stuff, no friends or family that is it, but he needs to confess to get the privilege to take all that with him, he needs to confess to God, and regret hid sins and have penances, “I will give there called penances, wise voider of adversity.
