This book (fire ? wing)  is one that I have recently acquired and is a part of my favourite trilogys.

The book ? takes place in the land of silver wings (bats in the forest),and in which the conflict between the birds and the beasts have now sucluded the bats (witch are considered both bird and beast as they can fly but are mammals).so this now means peace for the bats but a young silver wing/bright ? wing cross breed,  ironically called griffin (a proud and brave creature) as griffin is rather chicken ?.

So far as I have read griffin and luna ( a popular silver wing freind of his) have spotted smoke rising aboth the forest and have gone to investigate…..

In this scene the three witches show macbeth three apparitions of his future “come high or low; thyself and office deftly show! *thunder ⚡ enter First apparition*

In this scene lennox and a lord have met and are talking about Macduff planning a war”Macduff is gone to pray the holy king upon his aid to wake Northumberland in warlike siward”

at the banquet macbeth sees banquo’s ghost come sit at his seat macbeth freaks out.

I think that blood is used as a metaphor for murder because it can be made as a promise that there will be death and it could be yours. I think this because blood is asosiated with death and it won’t give away who’s blood it will be.

“it will have blood they say. Blood will have blood.”:       I think that this means that murder will only bring more death/murder.

“I am in blood stepp’d so far that should I wade no move, returning were as tedious as go o-er.”:            I think that this means that he has caused so much death that he can’t move through all the blood that he has spilt that he needs to wade through it.and if he turns back now he will only need to put more work and death to go back so now there is only one option and that is forward.

In this scene the king is found dead “o horror,horror,horror, tongue nor heart cannot conceive, nor name thee.”I think this is when the king is found dead by Macduff, and he is calling for help. also when everyone els arrives lennox acuses the kings slave’s” those of his chamber, as seem’d, had done’t. “

What do you think the dagger represents?

In the soliloquy of act 2 scene 1 macbeth claims to be seeing a palpable dagger before him “is this a dagger which I see before me”  macbeth comes to the conclusion that the dagger is a hulusination “a false creation proceeding from the heat oppressed brain?” when macbeth reaches out for it he can’t grab it he then believes that his mind is trying to lead him to a different conclusion “though Marshall’sy me the way that I was going” he considers this fonominom, but I don’t think macbeth trusts the vision of the dagger because he says “wither’d murder alarm’d by his sentinel,  the Wolf, whose how’s his watch” I think this means that the sentinel, the Wolf,  would call out to try and revile macbeth,  but the bell rings and macbeth says “I go the bell invites me. hear it not duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or hell”so I think this means that macbeth is going to kill the king. therefore I think the dagger represents king duncans death.

“we will go no further in this business” this is the quote macbeth says to lady macbeth she replise with “was the hope drunk werein you dress’d yourself?” this quote shows that lady macbeth is adutaded with macbeths acusation as she refers to macbeth as a beast when he asks to kill the king “what beast was’t it then that made you break this enterprise to me?” a point that shows macbeth with his intent to kill he king like a beast ,snake,”if th’assasination could teammle up the conseqence and catch with his surcease, success,”  surcease and success is a siblance and makes it sound like a snake, beast, which links to assassination like an animal, snake,.

This scene starts with a soliloquy of macbeth talking to himself, debating weather he should kill the king, “if th’assasination could trammel up the consequence and catch with his surcease, success, that but this blow might be the be-all and the end-all”  lady macbeth then enters and talks about killing the king but macbeth then replies “we will proceed no further in this business” lady macbeth is shocked and argues “what beast was’t then that made you break this enterprise to me?!”.
