Aside from this being funny, it does take some important lines from the book to form a summary. I also noticed that around the 3 minute mark, the bones of the witches' hands form the amulet that gives Macbeth his new title. I thought this could symbolize how Macbeth's power will be built from the death of others by his own hands, or that his murders will start because of that initial title of Thane.

Animated Macbeth: Foreshadowing of Deaths?

I forgot to add that the crown he's crowned with is also made of the bones, further adding to the symbol of his power being built literally by the bones of others (who he killed).
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I think it's pretty hilarious. The animations are awful! However, there are a few things that reflect some important parts of the play. I think that in the scene where Lady Macbeth is asking to have a man's courage, it's interesting how she turns into this evil monster thing. This does a really good job of showing how she's turning into a crazy, murderous, power-hungry lunatic. (OK, maybe that was a few too many adjectives). So although the video is a bit weird, it is based in truth and does a good job representing the important aspects of the play.
