#Macbethact5 interesting to see how unconcerned Macbeth was for his wife's death, especially since she helped him get where he is now. Even if he is more powerful and ambitious than before, it demonstrates how much he changed and how meaningless his life has become.#muddybuddies
In #act4 Macbeth's attitude towards the witches is very demanding. Now that Macbeth experienced strong power, his desire for more increases. Going as far as murdering loyal friends, scheming with witches, even committing murder in his sleep, to get what he wants.#muddybuddies
@HudecJack I agree. When Macbeth kills Macduff's wife and children, it just shows the audience how evil Macbeth really is. Especially since they are innocent and show no threat to Macbeth at all.
@RMaanS23 I agree, Macbeth's fear that his crimes will be uncovered increases greatly as the story goes on. In scene 4 during the feast, he sees Banquo's ghost seated at his place. This symbolizes Macbeth's guilt.
Lady Macbeth quotes, "Nought’s had, all’s spent Where our desire is got without content." Here we see she is starting to realize how much they have sacrificed for nothing. The advantages of the position of power they desired are outweighed by their fear and remorse. #muddybuddies
@_rumaisarehman I agree! It was interesting to read how much access the futuristic society has to every memory created from the user right from birth. That much information provided can easily harm someone and can be used to others advantage.
#TedChiang does a great job alternating between two narratives in both eras. By utilizing the historical concern about the impact of technological advancement on the human mind, Chiang applies the same concept to technology created in the future. #muddybuddies
@RMaanS23 I agree! #Anders usage of tone and word choice makes the book have a interesting concept. Its details clearly illustrate the borders' struggles and tension between the two sides.
#Anders uses an impartial tone in the novel. Without it, the story wouldn't have the same impact, in my opinion. She utilizes the absurdity of both oppositions as a means to become one and cooperate. It helps readers understand that both sides aren't that different.#muddybuddies
In #UrbanAffection the speaker repeats certain words such as "we still live in", to make the audience reflect on the history. The poem implies, we would still continue to live like this, unless we change. Despite time moving fast, America's values haven't evolved. #muddybuddies
@RMaanS23 I agree! #EmanuelXavier does a good job incorporating his own painful experiences shared with his father. It illustrates the hardships and courage the speaker had in this poem. #muddybuddies
Poetry utilizes avid descriptions to not just help the reader understand but envision it as well. Simply saying “that’s pretty!” or “it was good” doesn’t get the point across. Poetry has the ability to convey the experience itself. #TideofVoices#MarkDoty#muddybuddies
