I'm doing a drama project on macbeth And I'm doing a modern take of the witches lady Macbeth and Macbeth I've no idea how to dress the 3witches any ideas?
Here are a pile of ideas: In the Australian movie of Macbeth starring Sam Worthington which was made in 2006, Macbeth was a drug lord and the witches were schoolgirls and very creepy. In the 1998 TV movie directed by Michael Bogdanov, Macbeth and Banquo ride motorcycles and the witches are bag ladies living in a dump. The stage presentation at Stratford Ontario starring Colm Feore had Macbeth as a modern mercenary in an African country and the witches as tribal witch doctors. Or the witches could be Voodoo priestesses if you wanted to give it a Caribbean slant. Set it in Haiti, maybe. Or suppose the witches are inmates of a mental asylum. The Patrick Stewart production which was filmed by PBS the witches are nurses and the castle resembles an old-style meat packing plant. One of my personal favourite possibilities is to have the witches as residents of a personal care home, who sit in wheelchairs cackling. Or at the other end of the spectrum, they could be "spin doctors" in stylish suits giving Macbeth and Banquo advice on what's trending now. In order to decide on this you have to decide what part the witches play. Are they real or illusionary? Do they really have the power to predict, or are they talking randomly, and does Macbeth make their prophecies happen? Are they frightening? or just strange? Once you know what you want to do with them dramatically, you can eliminate portrayals that won't work. The personal care home residents are not likely to be particularly frightening. Once you know who the witches are, then it is easy to know how they dress.
What was the name of Macbeth's closest friend?
A friend could be defined as the individual who could be counted on for advice and support. In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had two close friends. One was Banquo, with whom he worked as General in the King's Army. Banquo was the closest friend to the brave, noble side of Macbeth's split personality. The other friend was Macbeth's Lady [b. c. 1015], with whom he managed his household and his possessions. Lady Macbeth was the closest friend to the ambitious, unscrupulous side of Macbeth's split personality.
Effect of the letter to Lady Macbeth?
The letter of Macbeth was important to Lady Macbeth. It reinforced for her that the two worked together as a couple. Her husband confided in her, and respected and depended upon her advice and guidance. He didn't just tell her that they'd have the honor of King Duncan I as their house guest at Inverness Castle. He also updated her on his interactions with the three witches and their predictions of ever greater things for him on the job. Because she was warned in advance of the visit and of the predictions, she could prepare her household for her guest and her victims.
What motivates Macbeth to take the evil path?
He forces the murderers to question their own masculinity. The completion of the task will act as a way to prove that the murders are really men. Lady Macbeth did the same thing to Macbeth. She made him question his masculinity and the only way he could redeem himself was to kill Duncan.
What complications arose in the play 'Macbeth'?
1) Macbeth taking his own fate into his own hands 2) Macbeth believing the withes' advice
Who do the witches meet with the morning after banquos murder?
When shall we three meet again,In thunder lightning and in rain?When the hurly-burly's done,When the battle's lost and won.That will be ere the set of sun.Where the place?Upon the heath. There to meet with Macbeth

What happened to Lady Macbeth in Act 5?
The witches promised Macbeth that Dunsinane Castle would never fall until the Forest of Birnam attacked it. Malcolm's army uses brushwood from Birnam Forest as camouflage - so that part of the prophecy is fulfilled. The witches also promise Macbeth that no man born of woman can kill him. Macduff was born by Caesarian section, after the death of his mother - so technically he was not born of a woman, but of a corpse. You just can't trust these witches - though they do tell him to beware of Macduff (that part was good advice).
What advice would Macbeth give to Othello or Othello give to Macbeth?
Macbeth might advise Othello to be wary of ambition and its consequences, drawing from his own experience of the destructive nature of unchecked ambition. Othello could caution Macbeth about the dangers of jealousy and trusting the wrong people, given how his own jealousy led to tragic outcomes.
What does Macbeth want?
The truth of the royal predictions of the three witches is what Macbeth asks for in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 23, 1564-April 26, 1616).Specifically, in Act 1 Scene 1, the three witches planned their subsequent meeting, in Scene 3, with Macbeth (c. 1014-August 15, 1057). In Act 3 Scene 4, Macbeth planned his subsequent meeting, in Act 4 Scene 1, with the three witches. In this second interaction, he asked first to know the security or insecurity of his royal rule over Scotland. He thought that he understood the apparently simple warning against Macduff. Likewise did he think that he understood the apparently impossible warnings of moving forests and of men not born of women.But Macbeth was not satisfied with the answers to the success or failure of his consolidation of royal power. He had hired three murderers to kill Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance. Banquo had ended up with a slit throat in the park near the royal palace at Forres. But Fleance had escaped.Macbeth therefore asked also to know whether Banquo would indeed be the ancestor of kings that the witches had predicted, in Act 1 Scene 3. The final apparition that the witches called forth to answer Macbeth's questions gave a resoundingly affirmative response.
