Macbeth

Macbeth is a very well-known play written by William Shakespeare about conflict between nobleman in Scotland. The play includes many plot twists that continues to engage the reader throughout the play. Because of its popularity Macbeth has been produced many times, with some productions representing medieval Scotland while others aiming to perfectly represent Shakespeare’s thoughts and others recreating a very different version of the play. The various representations of the play show that this play has a lot to work with, in the sense that Shakespeare leaves much to the imagination of the reader.

Each soldier would be in armor and the lights would be bright, but the lights would allude to a cloudy day. As the battle begins and is coming to an end, Macbeth and Macduff fight and for this scene the actors would be wearing armor, with Macbeth’s armor being slightly shinier than Macduff’s. The scene would end with the characters fighting. The play would end after Macduff arrives carrying a head-shaped bag, that is supposed to be Macbeth’s head, and Malcolm is declared King. The last scene would be Malcolm, dressed in clothes fit for a king, eating dinner with all his nobleman having a great
