Lego Macbeth - The Demise
Wednesday, January 4th, 2006Macbeth (with helmet and moustache) has been told by a witch that only someone not born of woman can kill him, so he thinks he is invincible.
“I bear a charmed life, which must not yield,
To one of woman born.”
Big mistake as Macduff (in the fetching beige and red top) was not born conventionally but by a primitive form of caesarian section.
“Despair thy charm;
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother’s womb
Untimely ripp’d.”
Macbeth replies:
“I will not yield,
To kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet,
And to be baited with the rabble’s curse…
Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’
Macduff kills the evil Macbeth, who had Macduff’s wife and children slaughtered.
And carries his head to the rightful king, Malcolm (with the dragon shield, below).
“Hail, king! for so
thou art: behold, where stands
The usurper’s cursed head:”
Malcolm calls Macbeth “a dead butcher” and invites everyone to his coronation at Scone.
“So, thanks to all at
once and to each one,
Whom we invite to see us crown’d at Scone.”
The End.
