Despite centuries of tension, England and Scotland united under one monarchy when Scotland’s James VI became James I of England

not long before Shakespeare wrote Macbeth. King James, who became the patron of Shakespeare’s acting company, was also known as the author of a book about witchcraft. Keeping all this in mind, write a few paragraphs about how the play seems to reflect Shakespeare’s efforts to flatter his new patron. Support general statements with details from the first three acts.

Macbeth is considered by many a critic a Sakespeare's mature tragedy. The play contains a lot of supernatural elements and takes place in Scotland. Indeed, these traits do not appear by chance. It is well known that King James had a fascination for the obscure arts, there is even a book called "Daemonologie" written by the king himself.

The Scottish play, as it was called, begins with witchcraft. The lines where it is said that three "weyrd" sisters "All heil Macbeth, that shall be King hereafter!" (49, 50) reflects Shakespeare's intention to reverence his patron and his interest in the uncanny. It is of importance to mention that the word "weyrd" has its origin in the old English word for fate, which is one of the main themes and motifs in the play. Macbeth is to become king and face his destiny.

Macbeth's skepticism is present when we read in the words of Macbeth orders "Say from whence / You owe this intelligence? Or why / Upon this blasted heath you stop our way" (75-77). There was skepticism for what was to come with the new union. The term United Kingdom comes from there, from the alliance of the nations.

The play, with all its supernatural elements and references to withcraft and nobility, demonstrate respect and honor to the new king, who watched the theatrical representation of the tragedy and found the association to his interest in the dark arts presented in the Globe.

The best example I can think of Bush (former president of the U.S) proclaimed after 9/11 that you (who would be watching his speech) are either with us or against us. Either, you are for America or you like terrorism. To avoid it, think about it first then relate it to you, believe whatever you want. While I was young when this was happening, now I proclaim that I agree with neither. I know how horrible it was but I don't believe in going to war for it.

Answer:  

She is a housewife and she played an important role.   My mother is the most patient and diligent person I know. She always takes care of her family and never compares her child with others. Another quality that really stands out is her honesty .She taught us to be honest and I never heard my mother tell a lie. As for myself, my mother has been a huge influence on me. She has shown me how important it is to study hard.  I believe she is the reason why I have decided to study hard to change our life. I hope I can be patient and diligent as my mother does.

It was a Monday morning. Susan woke up with the aid of an alarm clock that has a vibrating pad under her pillow. As everyday, she went to brush her teeth, did a little exercise and went to have her breakfast. While having her breakfast, she thought "What if Mondays would not have been there...."  Susan never liked Mondays because it was the first working day after the previous weekend. She unwillingly went to her room to get ready for  school.

Suddenly she saw, the weather was raining heavily. She thought to go to school to enjoy the weather. One of her friend said that the road will be slippery when it rained heavily and it was very dangerous. Susan was speechless.

The bus driver picked up the phone and his phone accidentally fell off. Then the driver looked for his phone that fell under his feet. Susan was surprised and she again woke up and found herself in her bed. She hit her left toe to be sure, if that was not a dream again. But, it was reality. She looked outside her window. She was surprised to see a dream in her dream.​
