Macbeth Entry 3.1

Macbeth in this image reflects his determination to rule and get his will done.  He is dominating with his thoughts. I chose this image because he became king without expecting it , he  defeated  the strongest forces in the land ,  perhaps deep down inside he always wanted to be king.It also fits the archetype of  heroism .Usually kings feel they are the saviors of their land.  The archetype of ruler  is reflected in his facial expression , the determination to get his will done . Believing in his forces to accomplish defeating the opposing forces. Power which is symbolized by the crown on his head. The rings  are symbolizing seals of fidelity ,devotion ,eternity, and engagement to bring victory to his land. He is sitting on a throne in command   this  is symbolized by his body posture. The robe symbolizes the tenacity to defeat his enemies and his controlling, authoritarian status . The shield represents guardianship and  part of his armor.He has his palm over a one of the figures on the shield those figures of lions  symbolize endurance.Overall the photo indicates his role of  perseverance as a king. The mirror  is a reflection of  his current life and how he contemplates how he will move forward, he looks as if he is king but he is not fulfilled with his accomplishments, it looks like his is carry a sense of guilt.
