    A kingdom and a factory. A wannabe queen and an invisible girl. Swordfights and train racing. This collection of words means very little out of context. And even in context, they seem to have very little to do with each other. And yet the plays Macbeth by William Shakespeare and The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek by Naomi Wallace seem to echo and relate to each other in roundabout ways, both when looked at from afar and quite upclose. Both feature an upturn of their political systems, both their communities

Having a choice in the material helps encourage students to understand and want to learn the material more. Macbeth by Shakespeare: I would say that Macbeth was a pretty hard unit especially having to go back and forth between No Fear Shakespeare and the play itself to understand what was going on. The class work we had received help a bit with the understanding of the play. Watching

    multitude of Shakespeare's/Shakespearean work, I still could not help but bring to light the comparisons I made between the relationships in The Indian Emperour and those in The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo & Juliet, and Macbeth. However, despite there being a possibility that my mind and its analyses process has been temporarily compromised by the good work of our 16th century friend Billy, such a comparison is not outlandish.

    Hello this is my introduction. I don't know what i am going to say in this introduction, but I know it's going to be something about Macbeth and films. By watching videos directed Goold, Polanski, and Posner I noticed more differences than similarities when it came to set and costume design. In Goold’s version of Macbeth it is set in a hospital type building with many different events happening. Meanwhile, Polanski’s had a more of a mountainous beach set that was very foggy. On the other hand, Posner’s

    Through both the book Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the issue of human degradation due to unjust or socially inequitable practices is used to connect with the values and beliefs of their respective audiences. This is done through the use of a despotic government controlling its populace, the guilt and paranoia following an action labelled as wrong, or actually wrong, and using women as a driving force for a man’s actions. The first and foremost way that the

    At the beginning of the semester I wrote an assignment addressing what I wanted to learn from taking American Civilization 1700. I went through the course syllabus and I chose skills that I thought were important for me to know better as well as important to my future career as a teacher. Two skills that I did not list that I wanted to work on were comparing and contrasting. Comparing and contrasting are two skills that I thought I was quite good at and had no problems with.
