I chose to use this picture from the movie, Snow White because it shows the temptation that the Disney princess deals with when being told by the witch to eat the apple. At first Snow White politely declines to have the apple, but is then overcome with temptation and eats the poisoned apple anyway. This picture shows Snow White dealing with temptation much like how Macbeth had to deal with his as a result of being told he would be the King of Scotland.

I really enjoyed this adaptation of Macbeth. At first I didn’t get it; I was confused why the three witches were being goofy. Once they started doing the actual Act 1, Scene 1, Macbeth lines I started to realize how it connected.
