At the begining of the story we see how Mcbeth is very loyal to the king Dunkin. He has an important role in the town and is awarded Duke. He is also humble about his acomplishments and loyalty to the king.When Lady Mcbeh tried to convince Mcbeth to kill Dunkin he had doubts and was a coward. He said that he wanted to be a respectable man, and by killing Dunkin he was afraid of becoming unethical and hated.So this shows that Mcbeth wasn't a confident man.Imedietly after Mcbeth killed Dunkin,he is scared, shocked, and felt guilty about what he did. But we see that later on Mcbeth's confidence grows and he is in control. He kills more people than his wife expected him to, which showed that he was taking the plan into his own hand.

Mcbeth's character is similar to Brook Davis in the Show One Tree Hill. Brook owned her own company with the help of her mother. She wasn't confident in succseeding without her mohter's guidence and support but after she takes the risk of firing her mother, her insecurity and doubts vanished. She became more confident and took the company into her own hands. After the risk that she took with firing her mother, it brought out a side of her that she thought she never had.

In the previouse clip of mcbeth's reaction after he killed Dunkin, I noticed that Mcbeth was very frightened and trumatized by what he has done. His eyes were wide and swaet wss poring from his brow. He kept looking from side to side and his eyes were glassy with forming tears. He also kept staring at the blood on his hands like the fact that he just murdered someone didn't register in his mind.

Dear Nick,
Since the day I had Mia, I never really felt true happiness. My lack of hapiness was partly because of you. Before I got married to you and saw your family, I had a gut feeling that your family wasnt the ordinary family that you see every day. After I saw your teenage sister siting on your dad's lap half naked, I felt like something didnt look right. I kept this feeling to myself and that was a mistake I should have said something but truthfully I didnt think the strange behaviors of your family would rub off on you, but I guess I was wrong. The reason why I am writing this letter is not because of my anger and hatred towards you for ruining my family and my life but just to get some answers and explanations. Alot has changed about my character since I left you and in order for myself to let go of my past I need to know why you did what you did to Mia who is the reason that I live my life. So please all I ask from you is an explanation as to why you sexually molested Mia your own flesh and blood? What made you have the desire to take the innocence away from this pure creation of life and inject the ugyliness of the world into her. I truly hope that yu can have it in your heart to do me this one last favor.
Sincerly , Clair


Dear Clair,
I was really debating weather I should write back to you but here I am now writing this letter. You are write alot of thing has changed after I left you. To tell you the truth I am so misrable. My life doesnt mean anything to me anymore and sometimes I dont think I deserve to be in this world. I'm not sure if I could give you the answers that you want but I will try and help you create a logical explanation as to why I did what I did to you and Mia. During the time of my life living with my family I did grow up adapting to some of the immoral things that were going on in my house. My parents were people who believed strongly that having sex in general was a natural thing and a normal way of life. They implanted this idea in me and my siblings heads and we grew up thinking that having sex with family members was ok. When we had Mia I saw her as the purest jewl of life that I became overpowered with the desire to be part of and expirience this side of life. I convinced myself that what I was doing was ok and it was something to show how much I loved her. When your lawyer said that if I didnt go to therapy, I couldnt see Mia again, I just thought it would be easier to run from my problems rather than face them. All my life i've ran from my problems and now it caught up to me. I am truly sorry for destroying something so precious and for ruining your and Mia's life. I know that I would be asking to much for an apoligy but now you know the truth behind this ugly monster that I have become.
Sincerly,
Nick

1-
2-in Greek mythology, god of wine and vegetation, who showed mortals how to cultivate grapevines and make wine. the god of vegetation—specifically of the fruit of the trees.He eventually became the popular Greek god of wine and cheer, and wine miracles were reputedly performed at certain of his festivals. Dionysus was good and gentle to those who honored him, but he brought madness and destruction upon those who spurned him or the orgiastic rituals of his cult.According to tradition, Dionysus died each winter and was reborn in the spring. To his followers, this cyclical revival, accompanied by the seasonal renewal of the fruits of the earth, embodied the promise of the resurrection of the dead.
3-The yearly rites in honor of the resurrection of Dionysus gradually evolved into the structured form of the Greek drama, and important festivals were held in honor of the god, during which great dramatic competitions were conducted. The most important festival, the Greater Dionysia, was held in Athens for five days each spring.
4-A dithyramb was a choral hymn, in ancient Greek tragedy, sung by fifty men or boys to honor Dionysus. By the fifth century B.C. there were dithyramb competitions. It is conjectured that one member of the chorus began to sing separately marking the beginning of drama.
5-The "inventor of tragedy" was born in Attica, and was the first prize winner at the Great Dionysia in 534 BC. He was an important innovator for the theatre, since he intoduced such things as the independent actor, as opposed to the choir, as well as masks, make up and costumes.
6-Hypocrisy is derived from the Greek word hypokrisis, which meant playing a part on the stage, or putting on a mask to misrepresent reality. In the ancient Greek theater, actors were known as hypocrites, without any negative connotation. In the real world however, being a hypocrite, pretending to be something while actually being something else, was and is definitely viewed as wrong. In matters of religion, it's downright evil.
Jesus' Warning To The Hypocrites
7-was the second of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose work has survived to the present day. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than those of Euripides. According to the Suda, a 10th century encyclopedia, Sophocles wrote 120 or more plays during the course of his life,[1] but only seven have survived in a complete form, namely Ajax, Antigone, Trachinian Women, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most-awarded playwright in the dramatic competitions of ancient Athens that took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. Sophocles competed in around thirty drama competitions; he won perhaps twenty four and never received lower than second place. Aeschylus won fourteen competitions and was defeated by Sophocles at times. Euripides won only four competitions (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.).The most famous of Sophocles's tragedies are those concerning Oedipus and Antigone: these are often known as the Theban plays or The Oedipus Cycle, although they were not originally written or performed as a single trilogy. Sophocles influenced the development of the drama, most importantly by adding a third actor and thereby reducing the importance of the chorus in the presentation of the plot. He also developed his characters to a greater extent than earlier playwrights such as Aeschylus.[2]
8-The Latin phrase "deus ex machina" has its origins in the conventions of Greek tragedy. It refers to situations in which a mechane (crane) was used to lower actors playing a god or gods onto the stage.In modern terms the deus ex machina has also come to describe a being, object or event that suddenly appears and solves a seemingly insoluble difficulty, where the author has "painted the characters into a corner" that they can't easily be extricated from (e.g. the cavalier unexpectedly coming to the rescue, or James Bond using a gadget that just so happens to be perfectly suited to the needs of the situation).
9-The Oedipus complex in Freudian psychoanalysis refers to a stage of psychosexual development in childhood where children of both sexes regard their father as an adversary and competitor for the exclusive love of their mother. The name derives from the Greek myth of Oedipus, who unknowingly kills his father, Laius, and marries his mother, Jocasta.
