I am mostly going to use this page for the Negotiated Learning tasks that I have chosen, and other documentation that needs to be recorded. Gday says the cat, Milly, licking her paws. What a wonderful day for a cask. 11th September 2008
 * I'm in the Macbeth group and I'm playing one of the Three Witches. When I was last at school, we were improvising conversations betweent Lady Macbeth and Macbeth, seeing as the Witches already had lines to go off. The basic outline of our play was set, and so we just had to practise. I've been away sick for the last three lessons, but today I've been told what was happening and that we've gotten a bit further. Lauren is putting pictures/drawings of costumes onto the Wikispace, and Kristie and I are working on our Performance Plans and the diferent folio work. Jackie and Pip are away sick *tear*.

CHARACTER PROFILE-THE THREE WITCHES The Three Witches come to Macbeth to tell him that he is destined to be king, and in doing so, they lead him into murdering his enemies so he can become king. The Witches have a dark and contradictory nature, which sets the tone for the play. In my opinion, the Witches can be compared to fate and/or prophecies, as they tell Macbeth what will happen in the future, and how he can do it. These prophecies that they make come true, and so for this many people who read the play believe that the Witches were evil and the villains of the play. I don't think they are evil seeing as they are only telling the future of what will happen to Macbeth. He chooses to kill all those people to become king all of his own will. The Witches helped him by giving him little encouragement to do evil acts. The Witches cannot be solely blamed, as there are other influences on Macbeth as well, such as Lady Macbeth, which is the premise of our play, showing that Lady Macbeth was the mastermind behind it all.
