Reflective Post: Macbeth

Macbeth, another play by Shakespeare, shows how greed can lead to cruelty. Macbeth was a kind and honest man before doing all of what he was told by his lady, who thought her decisions can lead them to a better life. But in the story, we see it as reversed. Since his killing of King Duncan, his mind was filled with fear and anxiety. It was all it took to become king, but he feared for the other things the witches said might come true, so he hired two assassins to kill Banquo and his heirs. Banquo was killed but his sons escaped, so this series of events was not broken, and that everything was destined to what the witches had said. In my opinion, things should happen naturally and intuitively, without having to make it happen by taking any actions. Otherwise, none of this would've happened.

Reflective Post: Romeo & Juliet

In the beginning of the story, Romeo falls in love with every beautiful woman at first sight. But this is not true love as he does not know them well. After, he discovers Juliet, his true love who just so happens to be a memeber of his family enemy, the Capulets. They love each other so much that they were not afraid and willing to do whatever it takes for them to be together. In the end, the hatred between the two families had been relieved by this young couple of doomed lovers. From this, I've learned that love is stronger than you think ,and it can result in death.
