My creative project was a song and a keynote presentation. In the rap song it told Macbeth’s journey from thane of Glamis, to becoming king. In the rap it gives information about the story. It tells about all the acts, and all the major events. In the keynote presentation it shows all the quotes I used in my paper. It goes with the rap song. Thank you for your project, and I hope you enjoyed it.

     For our English project, we had just finished reading "Macbeth". While reading this book we had to choose from Macbeth or Lady Macbeth as a character that we were going to track their journey. The person I chose was Macbeth. I tracked how gaining more power made Macbeth's relationship with Lady Macbeth change. Our first assignment was to write an essay. The next part was for us to come up with something creative to present.

     For my creative part, I decided that I wanted to make something out of clay. There is a road in my project to show that it is like a journey. The clay models are there to show what is happening in each scene. Along the road, there are signs that have the quotes on them. The rod is to show that we're on a journey. The journey begins in the white section and the color white is used to represent that Macbeth is pure in the beginning and that he still has loyalty in him. The nest would be the blue section, in this scene Macbeth had just finished murdering King Duncan, and his quote was talking about how all the ocean cannot wash the blood clean from his hand but instead he will make it red. I painted this section blue to represent the ocean and there was blood all over, showing that it is turning red. Also Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's hand were covered in blood. The next section is painted red because he is becoming more murderous. Also in this section Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are farther apart from each other showing that their relationship is beginning to change. The next section is grey, and that represents that Macbeth is not completely evil yet but is close to it. The clay model of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are separated even more in this part because Macbeth never mentions Lady Macbeth at all. Finally, the last section is completely black to show that Macbeth is pure evil. In this scene Lady Macbeth commits suicide and Macbeth only has a few words dedicated to her. I arranged the characters so that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are on opposite sides of the road. Putting them like this shows that their relationship had been split right down the middle because Macbeth no longer cares about her.

     Throughout the journey, it shows that Macbeth used to depend on his wife to steer him into any direction, but once he gained a lot of power, he began to be independent. Over the whole play, Macbeth grew farther away from Lady Macbeth as shown in my creative piece.

This is just a collection of short poems, a little like a journal, you could say. They're meant to be comedic, and I'm not that good a poet either. Enjoy. This a representation of my written piece, which describes the journey of Macbeth throughout the story.

Poem one: 

I’m a soldier, better than the rest

Until every enemy is dead, I will not rest

They all know my name; they tremble at the sight of me

If anyone were to cross me, my horrible wrath they’d have to see

 

I’m not a bad person really, just got to keep people in check,

Can’t be afraid to grab someone by the neck, to me human life is only a dust speck,

Macbeth’s the name, being boss is the game

If you have a problem with me, that’s a shame

-Macbeth…( “For brave Macbeth - well he deserves that name - Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution...Till he unseamed him form the nave to the chaps And fixed his head upon our battlements.”)

 

 

Poem two:

Lady Macbeth is pushing me

Pushing me to do something evil, something unspeakable

I do want the power; I do want to be royalty

But how far could I take it?

Could I really assassinate a king, could I really take Duncan’s’ life?

I consider doing it, I consider not doing it, oh what to do?

The decision has to be made tonight, and these daggers are sharpened

-Macbeth

 

Poem three:

I have done the deed, Duncan no longer draws breath

I am now the king, but was my murdering worth it?

The crown on my head is a bloody one, but a crown nonetheless

There are still people who would take it from me; they must be dealt with

The only option I see would be to do to them what I did to Duncan

Or maybe to hire another to do my bidding, to keep their blood from my hands

To keep more blood from staining these hands

I must act fast; every passing day brings closer the possibility of them taking the crown

-Macbeth…( “How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags, what is’t you do?” )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem four:

My heart has been wounded, wounded by the arrow of death

My wife, my child, both slain, not by the hands of Macbeth

But the hands of his minions, so his minions I shall kill

This does not mean that Macbeth is any safer from my revenge

He will pay for what he has done to me; he will pay most dearly, just as I have

I should have seen this coming; Macbeth has of late been a wrecking ball

Ending the lives of everyone he sees fit for his evil cause

Never had I thought he would go so far as to do something like this

But it will not go unpunished, certainly it will not

            -Macduff…( “Not in the legions of horrid Hell can come a devil more damned in evils to top Macbeth.”)

 

 

 

Poem five:

I have lived a life of violence and bloodiness

And now it is coming to an end

I have only myself to blame for my demise

I chose the path I took, and this is where it led

So now, not far from now, I will be dead

            -Macbeth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For English as a class we had to do a creative piece about Macbeth or Lady Macbeth to explain and show how the character changes as the story of the book goes on incorporating quotes that we picked from the book Macbeth. I did a scratch project on Lady Macbeth and how she changes dramatically. To access mine you have to click or either copy and paste the link below.

  ​For my English project I created a video telling the story of Lady Macbeth's life. I used quotes to base my scenes off of. The quotes are the storyline and transformation of Lady Mac. For every quote I made a shakespearean version and a modern version. I believe I did a pretty good job on my video and I put a lot of effort toward it. I could of did better in editing my backrounds but overall my project story was clear.

We had finished the book called "Macbeth." I have tracked the character named Lady Macbeth. On this journey, you will learn how she had changed from being strong to weak. The quotes will help you guide the way of the path to Lady's Macbeth's depression. Now lets get started!

The artwork is based on Lady Macbeth. The sculpting is symbolizing Lady Macbeth’s important key in the book. The first sculpting is about power because at the beginning of the book, she became really obnoxious with the power. She wanted to take over the control and guided her husband, Macbeth to be the king. The next following sculpting is a knife. It shows that Lady Macbeth encourage Macbeth to kill King Duncan so both of them can get the power. There are quotes when she had talked about the dagger. The third sculpting is a crown. Lady Macbeth had the wish to take the crown as a queen to rule the power with her husband. This shows that the power had symbolized lunatic because she was scared that nobles would find out later. The power was too much for her where she had committed suicide. She didn’t really care about living than suffer in pain of killing. So the sculpting shows a memorial grave for Lady Macbeth’s death. 

            I had created my arts and craft a castle because the theme sets off to royals and highness. It shows that the time period is creating a non-fiction for people to see. The houses are for the background are black and white because the colors shows devastating period of time when there was a problem. The flags are showing who is ruling the kingdom for Lady Macbeth and Macbeth ruling. 

Macbeth has been on a journey. A journey full of lies/deceit, blood, and greed. In the picture that I drew I wanted to show Macbeth’s path in one 2-face picture. Macbeth has gone from a noble man to a tyrant. I wanted to portray that in the drawing.  I’m going to start with the right side (or left, from your view). This is Macbeth’s human face, I made him bald because that’s how he looked like in the movie and I thought it was better than what I was going to draw. This side of the face shows his valor, bravery, and honesty. It shows a soldier worthy to fight for his country and will stop at nothing for justice. The skull side has the crown because he turned evil and something so dead after he became king. The blood in his mouth is to show how bloodthirsty he was in order to protect his golden power. The eye socket shows how hollow and lifeless he has gotten and the cracks represent him wearing down to his final fall, the blue paper represents Macbeth’s lost soul hidden away and gone forever.
