I would be mad too if I was Macbeth
As I listened to my English Professor scream "pale face" to my classmate, I started to wonder why Macbeth's journey got him to that point and how the witches predictions affected him. I kind of snapped out of it as I watched the class jolt around from the loud performance from my teacher of Macbeth's anger and energy, we were all pretty bored. As Macbeth panicked around the castle and as we waited for the Birnam Forest to crawl up to the page, I kind of started to understand the intense suspense the story has had built up throughout all the main characters and Scotland. Everything is basically falling apart with the people around Macbeth falling apart mentally. I am just sitting here, imagining how pissed I would honestly be if a forest literally came after me with the guy who was foretold to come after me too, and my wife just died.
The suspense of the climax of Shakespeare's plays are so underrated and they were definitely beyond its time. It's kind of sad how cliche it all looks with all the time that has built up ever since it's creation. Macbeth's head was just another example of how we don't use our heads when we expect nothing from the most bizarre/craziest things in front of us.
