How would I Direct the Macbeth Dagger Silioquy

If I was a Director, and I had the job of Directing the Macbeth Dagger soliloquy scene I would not put a real dagger in the scene. The reason for this is because I believe that Macbeth is mad! and that should be more defined. It does towards the end of scene 2. One quote that would want me to direct Macbeth in a more crazy way is when he says "I have thee not, and yet I see thee still" (2.1,35) I would make Macbeth talking to himself and there would be no dagger in sight.

Is macbeth mad in scene 2:1/ how i would stage the dagger scene if i were director (chase)

The soliloquy Macbeth has shows the reasoning that he is insane. This is because if a person would madly clutch the air and exclaim " A dagger of the mind, a false creation/  Proceeding from the heat oppressed brain?". This shows that he knows he is mad, yet he does not know if his mind is suffering from a fever and is acting normal or not. Macbeth is shown to be angry towards king Duncan by saying "hear not Duncan, for it is a knell/ that summons thee to heaven or to hell.". this shows that no matter what, Macbeth will claim the throne and no matter what , king Duncan will die. I think that in Macbeths soliloquy, he definitely shows that he is going mad. Going mad over this situation is understandable being that he is about to commit murder, but he does not have to be obsessive over the thought of it.

 

If I were the director I would stage Macbeth's soliloquy in a setting similar to that of what his conscience has. I mean this because he says " is this a dagger I see before me,/ the handle toward my hand? come, let me clutch thee:/ I have thee not and yet I see the still." My interpretation of this is that he is having this soliloquy in his subconscious , where he is hallucinating seeing a real dagger. My reasoning to stage it in his subconscious is the line that he says “A dagger of the mind, a false creation,/ proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?” which suggests he may be delusional due to the fact he may suffer from a medieval times flu-bug. This would make me want to set it up so that there is no actual dagger that he clutches to, but rather him just standing under a lone spotlight surrounded by darkness and talking directly to the audience, which would suggest a conscience like setting.

 

Is Macbeth mad in 2.1

In the section 2.1 of the play "Macbeth", Macbeth is becoming mad, the famous soliloquy about the dagger and how it is not actually there. It is just a figment of Macbeths imagination. When Macbeth says "I have thee not and yet I see thee still" (2.1 ,35) The line is saying that Macbeth is looking at a dagger but he can not grab it, because he is just imagining it. Macbeth also says "I see thee still. And on the blade and dudgeon gouts of blood."(2.1, 45-46) Macbeth is saying he sees blood on the dagger, most likely picturing it after he murders Duncan. Macbeth is definitely mad.

Spiderman is quite possibly to greatest superhero ever. Peter Parker is a well grounded kid who just wants to go to a museum then BAM gets bit by a super spider. He gets a girlfriend once he gets ahold of his superpowers because ladies are thirsty for a guy that can shoot webs out of their hands. Strangely enough, once this kid gets superpowers, every single person with a sore head turns into a super villain. Spiderman beats all these guys of course and then probably goes home later and makes out with his girlfriend. He is an independent person who grew up without parents but instead lived with his uncle ben and aunt may. His uncle ben dies on the night that peter goes to a wrestling match  posing as Spiderman. He wins the fight but at the cost of his uncles life. I don't know too much
about Spiderman, Just kidding I do, if you want to learn more go to Wikipedia, and here is a picture of Spiderman. with his girl.

Why Are sloths voted one of the ugliest animals?

Sloths are given a bad rap. They are always the butt end of the joke and now National Geographic Votes them one the worlds ugliest animals. They're cute. They're furry. They have the warm fuzzy place in your hart where only a loving grandmother or beloved pet could reside. I ask you this one thing, could you ever look at a face like this and not want to give it moss or oranges or whatever these things eat? I know I couldn't cause I am not made of steel.

Aaron's media analysis

Aaron                                              Media Analysis Assignment


 The authors main point or his thesis statement is that piracy and copyrighting are dumb and are overblown and should not be such a big deal. The film shows lots of bias because he is trying to make you believe that copyrights and piracy are bad because he is a fan of the band Girl Talk and he uses lots of samples so he could get in lots of trouble for using the samples that he does for not asking. He is also being non bias because he is using real facts and showing both sides of the argument, but he does not take into consideration that  there is negative effects off piracy.

Bias is also shown when he does his interviews with people. He interviews Cory Doctrow and the Mickey Mouse guy, but besides the interviews and second opinions the documentary is very one sided.

I don't think that copyrights and piracy should matter, but there are lots of people who disagree with that like famous people and musicians. Because their hard work is just being taken from them basically. I think in the future piracy will disappear and people will stop caring.

RIP! A Remix Manifesto. Documentarian Brett Gaylor digs into the current state of creativity with the music industry and how copyright laws prevent artists like Girl Talk from sampling others pieces to make a new song. Brett Gaylor shows a large amount of bias throughout the film because he is on the side that thinks copyright laws are unfair and harshly punishable. However, he does not take into consideration the negative effects of file sharing, as he is a young guy and doesn't want to pay ninety-nine cents for a song.

 

Bias is shown as he gets a second opinion from Cory Doctrow, who is also on the pro-copyright side.

It is an appeal to authority showing him in the film and hearing him out, but his views are completely one-sided because, as I said, he is on the pro-copyright side. The film has excellent diction about the subject however, for example words like "infringement", "copyright", "free speech". The way they used these phrases is relatable to the way of how the director feels which is " people should be allowed to use art in any way ,shape or form the want. Property of the public domain or not."

 

This film is very one sided. The views of copyright laws are going to differ between the 99% and the 1%. Bigwigs of record companies are obviously going to be all for copyright laws to be punishable as their only concern is making money and keeping it. Whereas the average-Joe may have a completely opposite standpoint on the matter. My opinion is no piece of music or movie is needed badly enough in my life that I have to risk making a stupid mistake that is just going to make a big ordeal. Copyright may get worse over time, but for now things are pretty fair between the two different organizations of people for and against copyright.
