Final product of our media. We destroyed the paper and stained it to look ancient. The goal was to make the paper look as if it was torn from the original copy of Macbeth.

Melanie and I wrote a missing scene for the play Macbeth. We know about Lady Macbeth's death was a suicide, we decided to add more to it. This scene is centered around this specific event. To understand the scene you have to look beyond Lady Macbeth's personality and look at her relationships and hot they affected her mental health. In the scene, Lady Macbeth sees an apparition of Lady Macduff. after they talk, lady macduff is able to convince Lady Macbeth to jump out of a window to end her suffering.

Also I just read it, and it's really cool how you made connections between the guilt LMB felt about the macduff massacre and her death. I think the apparition leading her to do it is a really interesting idea.

The hard work you put into this project really shows. I think the fact that you went ahead and made the paper look old was a really cool touch, too. Especially since I was obsessed with staining paper when I was little (like in Amelie). I also really like you scene, and I think it was really cool to take a look at Lady Macbeth's downfall, since I know many were more focused on her husband's instead.
