The Scottish play took it's toll on our team this week as we lost Emily Ota to the Scottish plague (AKA a cold), but we gained a Jane May! Join us while we discuss one of the most difficult scenes in the show - involving young Malcom's political maneuvering, and classic, good ol' infanticide.
Tabling: Macbeth Act III
Join the Team + Samantha Blinn for our discussion of Act III - the Butcher has been crowned, has his only friend killed by assassins, and goes a little crazy during his banquet. O Full of Scorpions is this act! Also, just as a quick clarification- the reference to the father killing the son and son killing the father is a scene from Henry VI, Pt 3, Act II.v. And be sure to check out the hologram video of Tupac on You Tube ;)
TABLING: MACBETH - Introduction
Hello Tablers!
We hope that you are enjoying Tabling: Macbeth!
Just a few clarifications, and notes from our first episode - Tabling: Macbeth Introduction
- James I of England was James VI of Scotland, not James V as I (Ariana) mistakenly stated
- Ariana would also like to clarify that there are scary scenes in King Lear, Act III.vii. in particular
- Henry VIII's son who succeeded him was Edward VI, whose mother was Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour. He was king from 1537-1543 and died at the age of 15. He named his cousin Lady Jane Grey his successor, but it was disputed and she was only queen for 13 days before being succeeded by Henry VIII's first child, Mary I, who reversed the Protestant reforms. Elizabeth I took the throne 1558 and reigned until 1603.
- James I book on the witches was called Daemononlogie
