Watch Macbeth from 1:53 to end of dvd (Polanski version)


Two possible themes from the Scottish play:

1. Great destruction is wrought when ambition goes unchecked by moral constraints.
2. Once one decides to use violence to further one’s quest for power, it is difficult to stop.

We watched "Deteriorata" by National Lampoon. For tomorrow students will write their own lines to "Desiderata",  "Deteriorata," or both. See video from youtube:



Work in groups.
