LRJ#5

I’m Rosalinds fool, now that she is mine in marrage, I plan to do everything I can to be with her in every moment, “my lord, te first time I ever saw him methough he was a broter to your daughter.. But my good lord, this boy is the forestborn and hath been tutored in the rudiments” (5.4.30-36.Shakespeare) he was born in the forest so he is part of the forest. But Rosalind is mind and I plan to give her everything she desires.

LRJ#4 For As You Like It

So I'm now calling Ganymede Rosalind,he has to believe that I love her, so anything to do with her, to prove my love for her is anything ill do to prove it, I'm still in the enchanted forest, where magic comes to life and I’ll be happy if love is magic. Ganymede is testing. me, to see if my love is loyal enough for Rosalind, I’m going to prove him wrong “I would not have my right Rosalind of this mind for I Protest her frown might kill me” (4.1.115-116.Shakespeare) I swear that if I ever were to see my dear Rosalind be sad, I would die. I’m going to really show Ganymede how much I feel for Rosalind, he plans to marry us, me and ganymede but only for my dear Rosalind. If only I didn't have the dinner with the duke I could have shown Ganymede how much I really felt, but until the next time, ill try to not be as slow as a Snail. To me Ganymede sis just a man who I look to as Rosalind, but when I finally get to see her I will act my words as I did to ganymede,  and Aliena will marry us “will you Orlando have to wife this Rosalind?” (4.1.136.Shakespeare).

LRJ#3 For As You Like It

 Now I don’t know what is going on with me, I think I have fallen in love with Rosalind, I’m a fool in love, “O Rosalind, these tress shall be my books and in their barks my thoughts I’ll character” (3.2.6-8. Shakespeare) I want to show her how much I feel for her, but to myself I'm crazy and I don't know who I am. Now I’m going to go write her name and show her how much I feel for her, on barks trees. Write poems express my feelings. I plan to make Rosalind notice how much I feel for her, even Ganymede can help me out with this, Ganymede told me to call him Rosalind, I love her so much and ill do what ever to prove my love for her. ”Just as high as my heart!” (3.2.275. Shakespeare) she is as high as my heart, she is Shakespeare what drives me to write poems on the barks of trees.

LRJ#2 For As You Like it

  Today didn't go as planned, me and Adam were struggling to find food in the Forest, me and Adam were tired, we were both lost in the forest, no knowing what to do, it showed us how to live in the desperate times of the forest, when we cannot find food, we keep looking. Adam wanted me to go on with out him, “Master go on, and I will follow thee To the las gasp with truth and loyalty. 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? Live a little, comfort a little, sheer thyself a little” (2.6.64-67) I tried to cheer him up and to get him to stand up. Luckily we found Duke Senior and he let us eat with him, I thanked him and so me and Adam ate with the Duke Senior.

LRJ #1 For As You LIke it.

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.
