Assignment #4 - 3 riddles
"Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough." The image I drew in regards to this riddle shows us that the three witches, whom are telling Macbeth that the thane of Fife would one day rule Scotland. In the image, the three “evil sisters” wearing black hoods are pointing out the visual illustration of what might potentially happen to Macbeth. However, in Macbeth’s mind, Macduff is not a real threat to the kingdom of Scotland simply because there are not enough troops for Macduff to fight against Macbeth. In the image, especially in Macbeth’s mind, I drew a little character representing the troops from Fife who wants to challenge a giant representing Scotland. As a result, Macbeth is extremely relaxed and puzzled at the same time. I consider this riddle as a message that anybody could become a threat to Macbeth.
"Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth.” This apparition makes Macbeth to feel confident and relaxed because the witches tell him that no woman born men and hurt Macbeth. Therefore, Macbeth fears nothing when the castle is invaded and all the English soldier rush into his castle. However, Macbeth loses the fight when he tries to duel with Macduff. It is ironic that Macduff is not a woman born man because he is technically born from his mother’s womb. In the image, I drew Macbeth wearing original European armor and armed with long sword; his body is buffed and his face seems extremely confident. I drew an “raging fire” protecting Macbeth from the sword named “Blade of the woman borns”. In addition, the blade starts to crack while entering the fire, and Macbeth is completely immune to the blade.
"Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are: Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him." This is the last apparition tells Macbeth to be as brave as a lion and fear no one; also, his crown is secured as long as the Great Birnam wood stay still. Therefore, Macbeth thinks the witches are joking because he thinks the tree can never move. However, Macduff and the English soldiers use wood to camouflage themselves, so Macbeth will never expect a strike from the troops. In the image, I drew a large moving-tree representing the camouflaged English troop. I drew the tree looks determined and forceful. The giant tree is facing Macbeth’s castle and ready to make his first attack. However, in the image, Macbeth is surprised but still remains brave and confident due to the three apparitions.
