The tragic Mac Beth.

Watching Mac Beth seems a big challenge for me. It makes me struggle not to fall asleep and concentrate to the play. When I finished watching the whole play, it just felt like I had completed a real challenging task. The play goes quite slow and that makes me felt sleepy but actually it was full of action and issues in it. In my opinion, the whole play was actually very interesting and tragic. Some of the scene makes me not even dare to watched it as it really frightened and terrible especially when they killing each other. If the play is done in this day, I am sure it will be more interesting.
Basically, Mac Beth is one of the most popular works that deals with tragedy by William Shakespeare, apart from King Lear, Othello, and Hamlet. It was seen as an archetypal tale of the lust for power and also the betrayal of friends.
Well, I think that’s all I can talk about Mac Beth and I wonder if you guys out there enjoy watching it? ; )

The blind prophet... Tiresias

In the play Antigone, Tiresias is one of the most important characters and he acts as a blind seer. He is able to make Creon rethink and yet change his decision to murder Antigone. Actually, there are many tales about individual prophecies of Tiresias. He was the son of Everes and the nymph Chariclo. He was a blind prophet and also the most famous soothsayer of ancient Greece. Reading about it makes me think a lot. It might really happen and it might be not. Well, that’s what we called a legend. Behind each story has its own truth and value. There must be a reason why Tiresias experienced both, living as a man and woman. But, no matter how the stories go, the end of it remains the same. Tiresias had been given a prophecy in compensation. When I first reading about him, I was shocked and never thought that he had experienced life as a woman for seven years! And then changed back to be a man, in fact a prophet. Wow… I wonder how complicated his life would be….. Well, I won’t think too much about it. Just enough for me to know a little bit about his background and his significant role in the play.

A Streetcar Named Desire...

Reading this play is quite easy for me compared with Antigone and King Lear. I managed to finish reading the whole play within two days which I was never did it before. For me, it such a good play and it deals with the real conflicts facing by many people out there. It deals with love, life, illusion and some more. As instance, one of the conflict concern about our previous life. I do sympatize with the protagonist of this play, Blanche, where she actually being trap within her own doings. She had faced a hard life just to maintain her way of life before she come to her sister. She hardly tries to cover her bad doings in front of every body whose in fact knew about it. Her sister Stella, did help her but she also facing her own problem with her husband, Stanley. I pity to Stella as she is engaged in a violent marriage and her husband did rape her own sister. Poor Stella... Whereas for Blanche, sadly she end up her life in mental asylum and her desire forever remain just a desire...
