Entry 3.2

I chose this video on YouTube, where Macbeth meets the witches. I picked this video because I felt it was very similiar to the scene I read in the play of the witches scene in Macbeth. You see three witches, who aren't very attractive at all, doing a spell in a cauldron. During their spell, you hear various lightning strikes in the background, symbolizing evil. The sky also symbolizes that whatever spell they are doing is dark and wicked. The archetypes in this scene would be the three witches representing evil persons, with bad intentions. The other archetype is the warrior, Macbeth, who is telling the witches off, with good intentions. I think this scene was very well acted, when I was reading the witches scene, I actually pictured it to be just like this, visually. The witches riddling their lines, and being very sarcastic. Macbeth looks rather worried, and mad. If you notice, every event that something bad happens, occurs at night time. When the witches do their spell, in the scene shown above, that is all being done at night time, as well as the death of King Duncan. I think the night time symbolizes darkness, and the bad. Witches usually do bad spells, not good ones, so the whole scene is dark and gloomy because there are witches involved.
