Top piece of work in English

Macbeth is a play by Shakespeare and is about a great, humble soldier who killed
his king because he became obsessed with the idea of power. When we read the
play in English, I learned different parts in a play, learned how to read
Shakespeare, and how you can twist words to mean something different.
When I read plays before I thought the term Soliloquy could be used for when a
person is one stage thinking out loud, which is the real meaning, and be used as
when two or more characters are talking to each other on stage and the other
characters on stage are unaware of what they are doing, which is really called an
aside. I chose this because I learned how to understand the way the play was
written. Though the play is written in the English language, it is extremely different
compared to modern day English. Shakespeare does a good job playing with words
in this play. Macbeth was told to fear Macduff, no man born of women can kill you,
and when Birnam forest walks to your castle that youll be defeated. Macbeth did,
in fact, had to fear Macduff. When soldiers were trying to take over Macbeth, they
took branches from the Birnam forest so they wouldnt be seen. Macbeth knew
everyone human was born of women, but is a pre-maturely birth really mean you
are born of women. According to Shakespeare, it is not. Macduff was ripped from
the womb prematurely so he was not born of women.
As a young adult, I will need to make sure I am using a term correctly unlike I was
before with soliloquy and asides. I will also need to understand that not everyone
talks the way I do so I will have to be able to understand whoever I am talking to.
As a plastics engineer, I will have to learn to be able to understand my boss and coworkers. I will also need to know the correct terms of plastics I am using and not
blend the kind of plastic with a different kind.
