i have an essay on macbeth due and i missed everything, do you think you could give me three reasons for why macbeth was responsible for his own downfall?

motherfuckingshakespeare answered:

Well you’re free to read the summary/ look in my macbeth tag/ the resources/ the how to posts. but basically I’d say 

  1. trying to make the prophesy happen
  2. stabbing people to make the prophesy happen
  3. continuing to stab people
  4. going off his head and thinking he’s immortal because prophesy
  5. repeat step 3 

someone needed to have a little real talk with mackers like,”stop trying to make prophesy happen, it’s not going to happen.” Idk, if I were you I’d want to talk about kingship and power and corruption, maybe throw in a little fatal flaw action up in there. examine junctures where he made decisions about stabbing people that led him to his eventual downfall

Oops.

[Or: oh, the things I do because I'm still bitter about missing out on Rory Kinnear doing Hamlet. Here's hoping the Crumblesnatch plays it for the lolz.]

Evening Post: August 12, 1899. "She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in a scientific fashion…” I would love to know what this means.

I think that might be code for “punched him in the balls with devastating accuracy”.

You know how, in your medical records, there are entries for known allergies, blood groups, organ donation choices, DNR, etc.? Well, why isn't there an opt-in/out entry for a zombie apocalypse? Because I feel like I should let the relevant parties know that, in case of a zombie apocalypse, I'm opting out. Who do you inform of these important life choices?

#my knees are so fucked i can't run#so i'm ineligible for long-term survival in case of a zombie apocalypse#and for short-term survival#so i'd rather just not#if it's all the same to you
