What are the factors that influence how a director presents a scene? Why do you think different directors see things so differently?
The way the lines are said or written and how the presence is around the characters when they say it, wether its modern or not it just determines all the aspects and surrondings. Most directors may view it different by wether they see it as modern or old times wether the vibe is scary or not.

Paranoia
Are Macbeth’s paranoia due to his own weakness or a consequence of what he did?
Macbeth's paranoia was due to his consequence of what he did not his weakness. Macbeth became crazier as the day passed as well as Lady Macbeth did. Sooner or later that consequence is going to attack Lady Macbeth and she herself will go crazy aswell and Macbeth will probably do something stupid and make it worser for him and his wife.

So What is up with Macduff?
Read the following scene at No Fear Shakespeare. Then, leave a COMMENT BELOW to this question:
Why do you think Macduff does not want to stay to celebrate Macbeth becoming king?
When you get done, go on to read Act 3, Scene 1 to page 3 at No Fear Shakespeare. Then, ON YOUR OWN BLOG, answer this question:
Make and explain your prediction: What will Macbeth do about Banquo? Macbeth will get rid of banquo because he realize's that he is on his case and would probably do something to get rid of him so Macbeth being the coniving person will make him and his son disappear so he can keep the crown.

Power: Test Question
In a short essay (5 paragraphs) explain this quote:
"Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."
Make sure you give examples of how this is true both in Macbeth and in real life.
Absolute power does corrupt absolutely and mostly easily, i say this due to Macbeth being able to have a little power after King Duncon was killed and he took advantage of that power instead of putting it to good deeds he did what Macbeth was not able to do in the beginning, by this i referrer to Macbeth sending murders to kill Flence and Banquo because they were suppose to be become kings if Duncan's son's were not to be there.
Lady Macbeth was a big part of Macbeth becoming what he was not. Power got to Macbeth head or Lady Macbeth and it changed him for the worse. Before becoming the person that he died as , Macbeth was innocent and was more respectful to King Duncan, now if the three witches and Lady Macbeth had not filled his head with the idea of becoming king and having power i believe things would have become more smoother.
Some people take advantage of the power they are given, for example, most teachers abuse their power against their students by being to demanding and obsuing the power they have of given too much work. Also, at a job a manager over abuses their power by being to demanding with the workers, for example, my manager acts if he were to be top boss and gives us, workers, to much tasks or too much tasks at one time.

Manliness
Discuss the question, what does it mean to be a “man”? Do you agree with Lady Macbeth’s view? Or do you think Macbeth’s consideration is more “manly”?
Being a man means to not be scared , to have more power and courage also to be able to defend what is thheirs also to work hard for what they want to be hard headed and a leader, yes i do agree with her because a man has to be the one who takes control and if has deceided to do something then it is what they must do and not go back on their word but also Macbeth had a point because is problem was that he did not want to be a murder and Lady Macbeth did to have all power.

Questions
How do the right questions help you access text better? What difficulties did you find asking questions?
I belive if you were to ask and have people asking right question helps you read between the lines and helps you understand the texts better and understand why its being said and whats going on and its hard to ask questions if you do nt understand the text this was one of my problems.

Do you trust me?
*Duncan says, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face: / He was a gentleman on whom I built absolute trust.”**Discuss the issue of trust. Is it ever possible to truly trust someone? Be sure to cite evidence on both sides of the issue. *
i dont believe that you can never really truly trust someone with anything because we all have to be realistic and realize that maybe people just put on a mask and lie in your face or change around and tell someone something important and deep that you have told them. i think that people have to win your full trust and not just part of it.

To Act or Not To Act?
*Discuss inaction. Is one less guilty of a crime if they let it happen but did not take an active role in it?* *Compare inaction to action---Are there levels of guilt?*
I think your as guilty as the person who did it, although you did not take part of the crime or whatever it was you still saw the person and did not tell anyone with high authority like a police man etc, i think that there are levels of guilt depending on the situation or maybe a person can be someone who ends up feeling bad or wrong about the situation they were or put their selves in.

Unseamed Him From Nave to Chops
Why do you think the author had Macbeth win, though he wrote Fortune seemed to favor Macdonwald? What sort of man fights like Macbeth did?
I think the author let Macbeth win because its like what he said "fortune favor Macbeth" as if saying macbeth faith was a compromise with his future. He was a lucky man who had a lot of faith and thats what seemed to make him successful or achieved everything he strived for. I say macbeth reminds me of superman someone who was protected by a mask and fought hard for his title.

The Bloody Play- Which Witches
Now that you have seen several versions of the witches, which version do you think is the best? The old witches, the nurse witches, the girl witches, or the male witches? Back up your argument with reasons and examples
The best witches there were the old witches, they played and fit the part more normally then the other, also when i think witches i see ugly, long nose with moles and warts and short with green or saggy faces and long dresses and robes with pointy hats and brooms, but also they seem mean and dangerous, the witches that looked like doctors were more modern and did not mesh well with how the character is descried also the younger girls seemed crazy, possessed almost, and well the mens are know as warlocks not witches.

Predictions
Do predictions come true because they were destined to come true, or because people make them happen because it was predicted (like a self-fulfilling prophesy)?
I believe in both, predictions become true because they were destined to, also prophesys are suppose to come true in a way wether its being made by the people or its suppose to happen.For example,one makes their own destiny wether its choosing their career, or choosing to pursue their education. On the other hand you never know what will be thrown at you in life, wether its being offered a job or achiving a scholarship to a college.
