Macbeth Death Scene!

Mikkel (Macbeth) Spencer (Macduff) Philip (Camera Man)

I worked with: Mikkel and Philip

Our Summary/Reflection Thing

So for our project, we made a reenactment of macbeth's death and mad it a bit more interesting than leaving you on the cliffhanger of how he died as the book did. So basically the purpose of this was to show how Macbeth died in our own version because of how they really didn't say how he died. So in our video we acted out act 5 scene 8 were macbeth died and had some friends help us out with the acting. Our main reason why we chose this is to show there are endless possibilities of an ending of how someone can die such as Macbeth when the book didn't really comprehend on how he died in the first place . Shakespeare rights “Macbeth was slain” instead of telling how he was slain. Then later on at the end of the play we learn that Macduff beheads Macbeth. However there are many things that could have led up to what happened to the point of were Macbeth finally gets beheaded by Macduff. For all we know Macbeth could have very well choked on a piece of bread that was put in his mouth while fighting Macduff. We could have gone deeper into our project with the liberties available but the time was much more limited. We got to present our interpretation of acting out an old classic. It was a fun, and funny journey. But hey, we made a good laugh out of it.
