Blog Entry 3.2 Macbeth - Getting Away With Murder



     I found this macbeth video to be entirely full of symbols . At first we see Macbeth looking at his reflection in water . His facial expression indicates a  sentiment of regret.   Macbeth touches the reflection so that it goes away .  The thought of  commiting treason is displayed when we see him grab the sword  tucked into his belt on his back.  The vision of the murder he is contemplating on carrying out is  displayed  when he covers his face feeling shame and guilt  when he sees a vision of a sword in the air.  He is haunted by this thought of killing the king in his visions . lady macbeth continues to  convince him of killing the king.  He finally gives into her idea. We see the symbol of blood on his hand symbolizing he commited the murder. He shakes his head no ,this symbolizes his gulit.The mirrors  show a reflection of who he was and the stages of his life as a king he is shown in despair, with a feeling of guilt, and shame. We see lady Macbeth laughing  and we see him alone in anguish , the invisible sword  and the crown falling on the ground  at the end of the video symbolize the loss of power .
