D. Like we said in class, I think Macbeth is going crazy. Macbeth said, “The water of my land, find her disease, and purge it to a sound and pristine health, I would applaud thee to the very echo that should applaud again. Pull’t off, I say! What rhubarb, cynne, or what purgative drug would scour these English hence? Hear’st thou of them?” (Scene 5 Act 4) This quote is Macbeth telling the doctor to heal Scotland from its disease from England. This obviously shows that Macbeth is going crazy. Who asks a doctor to heal a country? The funny part is how Macbeth is serious about this, and is going to kill the doctor if he doesn’t “heal” Scotland.
C. I don’t understand why Lady Macbeth had to kill herself. She couldn’t take the heat for something that she started? She is the reason for all of this to happen and she choses the cowardly way out. Seyton says, “The queen, my lord, is dead.” (Act 5 Scene 5).
I. I feel like we see Macbeth as a totally different person. This quote shows this, “Hang out our banners on the outward walls; The cry is still, ‘They come..’ Our castle’s strength will laugh a siege to scorn; here let them lie till famine and the ague eat them up.” (Act 5 Scene 5). Like we said in class, Macbeth is a villain. Macbeth reminds me of the Joker in Batman. He is just outwardly cruel and would do anything for himself.

D. I like the line where mcduff is fighting macbeth and tells him that he was born by a C-section. I can just imagine the look on Banquos face of fear when he hears these words. I love how the withces found loopholes in what they were promising to Macbeth.
C. I was confused about how Lady Macbeth was killed. All we hear was a scream and then shes dead there is no evidence of her dying.
I. I agree with @michaelgencos D response "Like we said in class, I think Macbeth is going crazy. Macbeth said, “The water of my land, find her disease, and purge it to a sound and pristine health, I would applaud thee to the very echo that should applaud again. Pull’t off, I say! What rhubarb, cynne, or what purgative drug would scour these English hence?

I. In response to how Lady Macbeth died the last scene of the act said that she killed herself by her own doing, which means she killed herself on purpose. I think she did this because she didn't want any thing to be blamed on her, or for her to be questioned about any of the deaths that occured while Macbeth was alive
E. I don't think that Macbeth was ready for war because he took the apparitions literally so he didn't think anybody could overthrow him because they had to be born for a women, and he also didn't think that the forest could actually move, however England made it seem as if it were moving. He was a bit cocky and was not even scared a little bit.
C. What I don't understand is why the apparations didn't give more of hint to Macbeth? Because if I were him I wouldn't have been that scared either because if you listen to what the apparations say most of what they are saying does not sound realistic so you would brush it off.

E. I am kind of bummed out that we did not see much of lady macbeth at the end. Not that I liked her and wanted to see more, I hated her. She is obnoxious. But all we saw was her sleepwalking once where she di that out spot thing. But we never saw her awake and how she really reacted to this situation that she and her husband were in. all she did was die, in what I think was suicide. Im not really sure if she just died of grief or killed herself. Whatever.
I. I agree with genco. “C. I don’t understand why Lady Macbeth had to kill herself. She couldn’t take the heat for something that she started? She is the reason for all of this to happen and she choses the cowardly way out. Seyton says, “The queen, my lord, is dead.” (Act 5 Scene 5).” But what I really want to know is “who the heck is seyton” he just showed up at the end as like some warrior or whatever and then just disappears.
C. why oh why does them witches not give more info to macbeth about the prophecies? And why art do they want this stuff to happen? Do they “some men just want to watch the world burn” (Alfred The Dark Knight). Maybe. And why doith they not show up again. Tiss a bummer. This doth hath vex me so

I. I agree with michael genco. "D. Like we said in class, I think Macbeth is going crazy. Macbeth said, “The water of my land, find her disease, and purge it to a sound and pristine health, I would applaud thee to the very echo that should applaud again. Pull’t off, I say!

C. In this section of the reading, I was confused with how Lady Macbeth died. All we hear was a scream and then shes died. Did she kill herself or was she murdered?
E. I don't think that Macbeth was ready for war because he has lost his mind. He also didn't think that the forest could move. He was too cdonfident thinking he was immortal and he was essentially pushing it, but in the end he died

E. The ending of the Book Macbeth, in my opinion, was a fine ending. I particularly enjoyed Macbeth's last moments fighting Macduff. I created a whole scene in my head and it was very intense. I very much enjoyed the cleverness of the witches's apparitions. The witches said that till the Durnam Wood forest reaches Dunsinane, Macbeth should not be in fear. Then Malcolm decides to take the trees of Dunsinane and march with them as cover above their vast amount of ten thousand soldiers. That was very clever in my opinion. Then the apparition that only a person who has not been born from a woman would slay Macbeth was very clever. Macduff was "un'timely ripped" from his mother's womb, in other words se-sectioned. So technically he wasn't born by her.
C. There is one thing that troubles me. Why and how did Lady Macbeth die? In one scene one character just comes out and tells macbeth that Lady Macbeth is dead, did she kill herself because she knew what was bound to happen? Did she fortell the invasion of tje English Forces and end her life easily?
I. I agree with jotirmoy kundu about how Lady Macbeth died. It is very confusing as a whole. I also agree with Michael Genco on the fact that Macbeth did completely lose his mind and went crazy. He basically stopped thinking about himself and the things around him. Even when he was fighting Macduff, he was not himself. He sounded so out of order and insane.

D: I really liked the way this play ended however i have my favorites, and some things i actually didn't like. I of coarse loved it when macbeth died, but i didn't like it when macbeth killed that young servant child. I guess it was to show that macbeth was not up to play any bull crap, but i mean imagine if that were me. And i mean you have got to give it to macbeth, he is a tyrant, evil douch bag and a half, but man is he good with a sword or what. In the beginning of the play before he was king, he was a very skilled warrior. I really liked how all of the witches prophecies came true at the end to the utter despair of macbth. it was really funny because after every apparition, macbeth would get more and more scared, and more and more anxious, and i noticed that he would get more insane and kill more innocent people out of anger.
C: Why did macbeth have Macduff whole family killed? was it to set an example or to just get rid of his whole family? i felt it was unnecessary mainly because they didn't do anything wrong, and macbeth doesn't have any kids or a wife he actually cherishes, so its unfair.
F: if i were Macduff, i would feel accomplished and at ease with my heart, i finally got revenge for my family, but yet i still can't hold them in my arms.
