Romeo and Juliet

Well I guess I will write about Romeo and Juliet since I saw the play this weekend. I don't know why but I love that story. However, I don't know if you can call it "true love" between Romeo and Juliet when they hardly knew each other, especially when Romeo was all in love with Rosaline just hours before he meets Juliet. It seems kind of naive and lustful rather than true love. Regardless, I still think it is one of the most classic love stories of all time.

Harry Potter!

Well, I don't really know what to write about so I guess I'll write about Harry Potter since the new movie comes out soon, and I am soo excited. I thought the movies did pretty well sticking to the novel. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when there is a really good book, and the movie just kills it. But, overall, I was pretty impressed with the Harry Potter movies...they just have to leave out a lot of the small details since the books are so long. I think the next one will have a lot of those details in it though since they are splitting it up. Soo, I guess thats about it. And we'll see how close the movie is to the book next week! Yay :)

The Power of Passion

While reading Macbeth, I realized that Lady Macbeth is very passionate and feels strongly about her husband murdering to become King. I, personally, am surprised by her determination for her husband to become a murderer. I know that it is human to act selfishly and to try to advance in theworld. However, Macbeth has already become Thane of Cawdor, an honorable title which both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth should be proud of. Instead, she just wants more and is willing to go to extreme measures for her husband to be King, while her husband is more hesitant to carry out the murder to get the crown. I would think that their feelings should be reversed; Macbeth should be all crazy about murdering and his wife should be the reluctant one and not pushing her husband to commit murder. Why do you think she feels so strongly about it, while Macbeth is more hesitant? Perhaps it is a further extension on the backwards reality Shakespeare has created throughout the whole play.
