In groups we found textual evidence for themes in Macbeth. Ambition (green), Violence (red), Guilt/Remorse(blue), and Foreshadowing/Irony (black). We then needed original photography to illustrate the quote.
I chose this quote for green because it is a representation of Lady Macbeth's ambition to make her husband king. She shows that she is willing to put in all the effort for what she desires. -Mia
This photo is a representation of what Lady Macbeth wanted Macbeth to do.The person is looking out and watching something, showing how Lady Macbeth wanted Macbeth to watch how to kill a man.
The reason why I chose this quote for red is because Macbeth intends to kill all of Macduff’s family and anyone who is related to him. This would be a very bloody affair with killing an entire castles populace. -Jaron
The photo I chose to represent violence was one of my kitchen knife’s. People know that a knife can be used as a murder weapon. Even though there were no knife related deaths in Macbeth, there were deaths where characters would die due to sharp objects. Just like how the quote talked about killing with swords this figure holds swords ready to kill Macduff's family.
The reason why I decided to choose this quote for black is because, literally the hands of Macbeth is filled with blood. He is scarred by the thought of killing Duncan because even though his hands are clean after, his mind sees it as covered in blood. -Chris
This photo representa Chris' quote since it is a photo of a "bloody" hand, just as Macbeth would see. Even though he saw blood, there really was no blood on his hand. This picture is an exact replication of the quote.
I chose this quote for blue since this was right after Macbeth murdered King Duncan. Macbeth refers to both the literal blood on his hand but also to his sense of guilt. He makes it dramatic to imply that the blood could stain all of the world’s oceans red, meaning that his actions won’t be hidden easily. -Brett
This photo is a representation of my quote. Just as the quote talks about washing blood away this photo shows someone washing "blood" away. Unfortunately, my hand is not seen being washed. If we picture blood in the picture, there would be blood on the hand and around the sink because there was still guilt.The leftover specks of blood is a metaphor for guilt.
