Macbeth II

On Tuesday for my lesson I read up to the end of Act 3 Scene 3. At this point Banquo died and we began to watch Roman Polanski's film of Macbeth we reached the part where Macbeth stabs the king in the neck (this is not in the play) and then we stopped watching. I am told my Mrs. McIntosh that the most gruesome part of the film is the death of Banquo but for me the death of the king was enough to make me feel queasy. So I look forward to the next time I watch Macbeth in eager anticipation - and with a bucket.

Where *did* you get that dagger?

She always did have a queasy disposition.

I've always found the death of the King more affecting, but then again we are all different.
