I’m Only giving you number one!
Shakespear is still worth reading becuase it is a true insight to human nature it was the modern English language is based on. Shakespear saw straight into the hearts of not only his characters but the different facets of human nature. Romeo and Juliet with the love for each other Romeos hot headedness Juilets inoccents. Macbeth with the malice and thurst for power and what happens when you prusue power for powers sake you will eventually be destroyed.- I’m sure you can put more into that thats some of what I wanted to say but you can work in the Much ado About nothing and how it relates to the frality of reputation and virtue and how opposites attract. I’m sure you can elaborate more into it.

1. Shakespere is still worth reading because his writing is a great source of classic literature.
2.No, Duncan is not a fool for going to Macbeth’s Castle. He had absolutely no reason to suspect any danger, especially since he had just named Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor(At least I think that was what it was…)
3.Macbeth’s behavior does leave room for the audiences sympathy because he has thoughts of regret before during and after the murder.
4.?
5.I feel they are satisfying and appropriate as well as a good brain stretcher. In a way the witches only needed to have one proficy. By having the one correct they were able to minipulate Macbeths actions for the future. Macbeth probably would not have killed Duncan if it wasn’t for the prophicies given.
