MacBeth

In class, we watched revised version of Macbeth.
In the play there no King but Generals.

I have read Macbeth when I was in highschool, so I could not remember the full story when I watched the film. And seeing the film did not help me at all. It was very strange to see people using old english when they dressed so modern. I wished the director also changed the speech.
What scared me the most was the three nurses. They were acting so weird in the movie that it was not pleasant. (In the original play, they are witches.)
But I think the modern version made sense anyways. After all, man hungers power even though they seem naive. Once he tasted the power, the more he seeks. He became bloodthirsty and cruel to be more powerful. He wants the power to himself. He doubted what three nurses said and killed everyone that seems to be in his way. He ended up getting killed. His wife, who persuaded him to kill the king later on kills herself from guilt.
Macbeth is an example of a bad king. He did not think of the responsibilities but only about his own benefit. He was too busy keeping his throne. He was not happy at all thorough out the entire play. He grew more anxious as he gained more power.
