Lego Macbeth - Things Unravelling Somewhat.
I’ve decided to continue to do this in reverse order, so it will read in chronological order when you scroll down. Anyone got a lego crown/beard I could borrow for a week or so?
Macduff and Malcolm, the rightful heir to the throne, have joined forces with the English armies to overthrow Macbeth at Dunsinane Castle. They decide to cut down some camoflague from Birnam wood.
“Let every soldier hew him down a bough
And bear’t before him:”
This is a tad inconvenient for Macbeth as it has been prophesied by witches that he will be alright until Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane.
Lady Macbeth, never the most stable woman, has driven herself mad with guilt over all her evil and ends her life.
Macbeth responds:
Out, out, brief
candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth now hears the news that Birnam wood has come to Dunsinane, and realises he is in a sticky situation. The battle commences.
