**Video:** Scratch the legit part. Youtube killed the quality and the video is lameeeee, so unless you have to grade this (poor Mrs. Allen) then I wouldn't waste the next 6 minutes of your life on this : P.S. yes it's only 6 minutes, don't ask me why there's like 5 minutes of black-ness at the end.
 * Gabby ** is making the video [Macbeth with the therepist] AND IT'S GONA BE ** LEGITTTTTT. **

media type="youtube" key="QXxXpAOtVvk" height="405" width="500" // Macbeth time travels from his time to 2010. The setting is a psychiatrist’s office. Enter an anxious Macbeth, looking around, nervous. Psychiatrist, who looks exactly like Macbeth, “poofs” in. // Macbeth: … Psychiatrist: Hey. Macbeth right? Why do my nine o’clocks’ always have the weirdest names. // This is followed by an extremely awkward silence. // Psychiatrist: Cat’s got your tongue? You know, people hire psychiatrists to actually talk about their problems. Macbeth: …..But you’re me. Psychiatrist: Actually, I’m you but better looking. Now the file I have here has said you’ve been seeing some…. Ghosts? // Macbeth is tense and does not respond. // Psychiatrist: Look, you’re paying me weather you talk or not. Here, relax. // The two “poof” into a more relaxing setting. // Macbeth: HOW DID YOU- Psychiatrist: I knew you had a voice in there. So tell me about these ghosts. Macbeth: Well... I was having a banquet the other day at my castle to celebrate becoming king. Psychiatrist: Whoa, a king. We enabled that time traveling system that teleported you a while ago but I’ve never gotten a king. Am I supposed to like.. kiss your feet? Macbeth: …That won’t be necessary. Psychiatrist: Whatever. Continue. Macbeth: Right… all this stuff is confidential right? Psychiatrist: Yes. Macbeth: Okay. So at this banquet, I was invited to sit down at the table. But alas- Psychiatrist: …Did you just say….//laughs…// alas? // Silence. // Psychiatrist: …go on. Macbeth: As I was saying… I noticed there were no empty seats at the table. Everyone began to look at me funny, and pointed to a seat that was so called “empty”. As I looked closely, I saw the ghost of my dead friend, Banquo was seated there. Psychiatrist: Wait dude. Hold up. Dead friend. Right. Trauma can make you see things sometimes. Macbeth: Oh I’m not sad. I killed him. Psychiatrist: …. //Begins to write something.// Uh okay. So you killed this guy. But why? Macbeth: Well, I think he suspected I killed the previous king. Psychiatrist: WAIT YOU’VE KILLED TWO PEOPLE? ….. Okay. Okay. I can do this. So you killed the king AND your friend. What led you to do this? Macbeth: A little while ago, Banquo and I were confronted by three witches. I was the thane of Glamis at the time. These witches told me that I would gain the title of Thane of Cawdor, which was odd because he was still alive. They then continued that I would become king. Psychiatrist: What did they tell your friend? Macbeth: They told him he would be the father to a line of kings. Psychiatrist: So.. these “witches”.. did they look like..this? // Psychiatrist turns into a witch. // Macbeth: Sure. Psychiatrist: Okay. Just making that clear. //Writes notes.// Macbeth: So after this, I returned home to find the old Thane of Cawdor dead, and I was deemed new Thane of Cawdor. When I told my wife about the witches, she convinced me to kill the king, which I did. Afterward, I was crowned and the search for the king’s murderer was on. I figured Banquo would suspect me so I sent murderers to kill him too. That’s the night I saw his ghost. Psychiatrist: Okay. So this is the point where I tell you you’re crazy and prescribe you some meds to make you un-crazy. But in your case, you’re just a dependent whiney little chicken who can’t stand up to his own wife. I suggest you hang your head in shame. // Macbeth kills the psychiatrist. THEEE EENDDD. //

**Advice Column:**
[Starts another line under] Dear Ask Elizabeth,
 * ** Katie ** is giving advice to ** Macbeth .**
 * Here's my thing. It's the two letters from Ask Elizabeth and Macbeth**

I have had some trouble of late. I was recently approached by three mistresses of the night, and they told me that I would acquire great riches and become the highest Nobel man in the land. They blew off my friend, Bobby, until he requested that they tell him his prophecy. When they told him his prophecy, it made my prophecy look extremely bad. I am stressed on whether to let the witche's foretelling pass and let it rot in my mind, or follow their advice, take my own action about the matter, and emerge victorious. I discussed the matter with my wife, who is always very sure about everything, and she is certain that I should take action. I feel as if though it would be a terrible deed to commit, and I feel as fickle as a maiden deciding what jewels to wear to Christmastide. Elizabeth, what is your advice? Should I take my own action on the matter, or ignore the prophecy and its utter doom as if it were a beggar on the road? This situation vexes me so, and I would like to hear someone outside of my close and personal house's opinion. Thank you,

Bewitched and Bewildered.

Dear Bewitched and Bewildered,

I can feel your concern over your interesting situation that can take a turn for the good or the worse. It is quite odd that you were approached by three witches, and I can appreciate that you are taking this matter with great caution, for anything involving the Devil's mistresses will cause pain and sorrow. First, think about the pros and cons for both of the possible choices. Balance out the pros and cons and see which path leads to the most and the best pros, and which path leads to the worst situations. After that, talk about the problem with more people, and see what their opinion on the matter is. As for your wife, she has no which-way to tell you what you can or cannot do with this action that could affect the rest of your life. It’s time to man-up and make your own decisions in your life and relationship with your wife. Even if you two have an argument, remember that you can always go to couple’s counseling. Remember that whatever decision you make, it could affect the rest of your life. But I’m sure that you’ll pick the right path to venture down, and you’ll know because you won’t have many sleepless nights, but instead will have many nights where you sleep well because your conscience knows you made the right decision.

I wish thee with wishes that one would wish for, sincerely,

Ask Elizabeth

Dear Craig, My name is Lady Macbeth. I am writing to you for advice since you are such a good advice columnist. My husband had recently become the Thane of Cawdor which meant that he was 3rd in line of the throne behind King Duncans sons Malcolm and Donellbain. I wished more than anything for him to be King and it was suddenly within reach. I figured if the king were to be killed, both of his sons would most likely flee in fear of their lives causing my husband and I to be given the throne. To be on the throne would be wonderful so I decided something must be done to give it over to my husband. I pleaded to the evil spirits, asking them to envelope me in evil thoughts and shield me from my conscience. They came and what I prayed for was accomplished. I convinced my husband to take the initiative and kill Duncan so that he may become King of Scottland. He did not want to and I would've done it myself but he reminded me very much of my father and I couldn't do it when I saw the very image of my father just looking at him. After much arguing, I finally convinced him to do the deed that would bring us both many rewards. I played the part perfectly from then on as to draw no suspicion to my husband or I, even fainting after hearing of the King's death.Anticipated, Maclolm and Donnelbain fled for fear that they too would be killed like their father was. My husband will now be crowned but I still have questions about what to do to help the situation I am in now. First of all, how can I stop my husband from being continually affected by the murder? He is always thinking about it and cannot get it off of his mind. I do not wish for royal life to have a giant cloud hanging over it of guilt and regret. Second, what should I do to cover up the murder that I have not already done? I originally thought that once the murder was done with I would be happy but I think about it more and more. How can I stop myself from going insane or snapping and telling someone? I am under increasing stress and growing uncertainty of how the people will react to my husband being King. We thought that our life would be better and that is why we went through with killing Duncan. Instead, we have payed a price that takes away all of the good things about Macbeths kingship. Misery, worry, and uncertainty have come upon is, not the great rewards we had imagined. I don't want everything we've gone through to count for nothing and need to know how to start enjoying what i have worked for. All of the worry and Your advice would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Sincerely, Lady Macbeth
 * ** Craig ** is giving advice to ** Lady Macbeth .**

Dear Lady Macbeth, I have received your letter asking for advice on how to deal with the problems you are facing as a result of the Murder of King Duncan which was plotted and carried out by you and your husband. First of all, I would like to tell you that you should not do anything more then you have already done to cover up the murder. It will only make you become more involved instead of distancing yourself from what happened and ultimatlely acheiving a happy llife. Your problems derive from the murder, and th best thing to do is to distract yourself rom it so you can have more peace of mind. While this specific situation is unique, the guilt you are feeling as a result of your actions happens to many people. One thing you should do is talk to someone who you know will keep what you said to themselves. I am sure that you will feel much better once you have said what you have done. Your husband should try the same thing. So that he will not appear suspicous, try to take his mind away from what happened with distractions. Do this especially by having him focus on ruling his kingdom only. Hopefully, this would take his mind off of the murder and stop people from becoming suspicous of him. Instead they will be happy his kingship is leading them in a good direction. You have worked very hard to become Queen and you should enjoy the benefits you earned. Occupy yourself with feasts, clothes, and scoialize with other nobles wives. There is still time to enjoy what you have acheived. Always remember this when you find yourself thinking about Duncan. If you can't stop, try talking to the person you confided in before to get it off your back again. The stability of your mind depends upon you getting things like this off of it so that you don't continually think about it. If you can't find ways to get it off your mind, it will twist you and drive you to the point of insanity. You also mentioned in your letter to me that the murder would be commited, you would get what you want, and then be happy and done with the affair. You can be done ad past the murder if you stopped obsessing over it. You can control how happy you will be by getting this whole thing off your chest. By taking the suggestions I have provided you with, I think that you will be able to acheive much more happiness. Thank you for contacting me and my best wishes that you can improve your life.

Sincerely, Craig


 * ** Scott ** will write from ** Banquo's ** view but not get an answer back **(:**

Dear Scott, My name is Banquo, and I must ask your personal opinion on something. I have an acquaintance named Macbeth, who I have a few suspicions about. He has recently taken the throne as King of Scotland, after our previous king, King Duncan, was murdered in his sleep. A while ago I was with Macbeth when we heard three witches give a prophecy. They predicted that Macbeth was to become king. However, I knew that he couldn’t do this easily. King Duncan has two sons, who are the rightful heirs to the throne. Perhaps Macbeth knew that the only way to be the next ruler was to kill Duncan. For these reasons, I suspect Macbeth, and I think he may already know that. Since I heard the prophecy, Macbeth is surely aware that I believe he committed the crime. He is a very powerful man, and that is why I need your help. The reason I am writing is simple. I need your help. I would very much appreciate it if you could tell me what to do in this situation. I need you to answer two questions. First, based on the information provided, I must ask whether you think Macbeth was the murderer who killed our wonderful king. I think that most of the evidence points towards him, and he did seem a bit uneasy that night. There is also one more thing that I must ask of you. Assuming Macbeth knows about my suspicions, and he was the killer, he could easily end my life as he did the king’s. This worries me. I know you are a very experienced advice columnist, so I am convinced that you will provide an excellent answer to my question. What should I do to protect myself from Macbeth? I hope you know the answer, because I am depending on you. Once again, I need to know what you think about my situation. I am deeply troubled about the killing of King Duncan, and I have reasons to believe Macbeth is behind the whole thing. I know that you are very wise and definitely capable of giving me helpful tips about Macbeth. I’m counting on you for help, and I am certain that you can provide it. My confidence in you is large, and I hope you will fulfill my needs. I would like to thank you for taking your time to read about my concerns, and I trust that you will consider my request carefully. Sincerely, Banquo

Artistic sketches will be done by ** Albert **, and he should be adressed as ' **Albert** the ** a r t i  st ic asian   **.' ( 亚洲艺术伟业) * Since you most likely cannot read the words on each sketch (**the original size of the sketch makes the page all slow**) they will be **typed below each sketch**. Sorry in advance for the giganticness, except not anymore, because Craig kept complaining about how it made internet explorer crash. "In the sketch we see the first murder scene in Macbeth. To portray the given theme I have added symbolism to the scene. The two medals are the medals given to him as Thane of Cawdor and of Glamis. The second is newer and I made an attempt to make it appear so. The cloak is a gift from the king. I tried to symbolize it by adding the royal colors of purple and gold. And the knife of course symbolizes the murder and betrayal of the good King Duncan."
 * Artistic Sketches:**
 * Artistic Sketches:**
 * ** Disorder **
 * ** Betrayal **
 * ** Desperation **
 * ** Fear **
 * Trust & Betrayal :**

"Again I have used symbolism in my second sketch. We see the four victims of Macbeth (excluding Macduff's family). Left to right: Guard 1, Duncan,Duncan, Banquo, Guard 2. All are actually dead and are ghosts. The objects they are holding is meant to represent what Macbeth heard/did is Act 2, Scene 2. Clock is lack of sleep, cross is Macbeth not being able to say "Amen", dagger for being a murderer, bowl is not being able to wash his hands.(Jeez there's a lot of spelling errors on that one)."
 * Fear **



**Disorder** : For this sketch i did not use symbolism. i just drew my interpretation of the hanging dagger, because this is where Macbeth's "Disorder" began. The scene showed that Macbeth could see himself murder Duncan, but didn't want to do it. Then the bell rings and Macbeth does his first evil deed. (Guess what, its a PNG! "Gabby and Leo shout in happiness")

**Desperation**: In the sketch we see young Siward preparing to fight Macbeth. i believe that at this stage he is desperate. He knows that Macbeth has become a tyrant and has killed Duncan nad many others and is desperate to end it, even if it costs him his life, which it does.
