Macbeth's Language

Honestly, I find it hard understanding the story of Macbeth. According to the book that I have read, reading Shakespeare's language can be a problem -- but it is a problem that can be solved. Even if you have learned different languages such as Latin, French, German, Spanish and many others, you will still have little difficulty understanding the language of Shakespeare's poetic drama.

When reading on one's own, one must do what each actor does: go over the lines or use a dictionary until the problems are solved.

In reading this literature, we may notice unfamiliar words, phrases, etc. Unfamiliar because we really no longer use them such as "coign" which means corner, "aroint thee" which means begone, and "anon" which means right away. But the most problematic words are those that we still use in different meanings. Some of these are "present" meaning immediate, and "receipt" meaning receptacle.

An Entry in My English Journal Notebook

What values do I need to develop?

As a person, there are values that I need to develop for myself and with others. These values will help me improve myself and I too could be a role model to others.

One of the values that I need to develop is that I must have self-confidence. Being self-confident can help me achieve my goals easily. Another value that I need is to have patience. I must be patient in every little thing that I do.

I should also respect every rights of other people and respect what they are as human beings. I also must be obedient with people around me because this is a way of respecting people.

And last, but definitely not the least, is that I must have faith in God. God is very powerful that He bless us always in all our doings. He's always willing to help us if we need help from Him.

These are just some of the values I need to develop for the improvement of myself.
