I found extremely interesting and enjoyable to work with these section of the play given the fact that it got my consideration how Lady Macbeth and her spouse were rebuffed for submitting injustice from Shakespeare perspective, yet from a present day perspective we can read the scene in an unexpected way. Moreover, the first paragraph is an introduction to the play and a quick presentation of the beginning of Act 5 Scene 1 and what caused Lady Macbeth’s hallucinations. The second section talks about the first interpretation of a reader that comes from the nineteenth century where everything that had no explanation, happened because of witchcraft. The third paragraph talks about the second interpretation from a reader of a modern era where hallucinations are only based on scientific proof. Finally, the fourth and final paragraph is a wrap up of the three previous paragraphs with the only focus of summarizing the main arguments of the analysis.
