Hi Mr Shakespeare,
Does Macbeth have PTSD? Or is he just evil?
I need to know for my essay (due on Tuesday).
Thanx,
Jayden
Dear Jayden,
I’m guessing you want the bard. I don’t
know what they’re teaching you in school these days, but you’re
400 years too late.
I don’t think he would have used email
anyway. He’s always seemed like a man who would respect his quill
and ink.
But, if it’s of any interest, I think
Macbeth was set up by the witches. His downfall was the result of his
attempts do battle with fate. There’s not a person on this earth
who’s strong enough for that.
Best wishes,
Bill
Hi Mr Shakespeare,
I’ve been thinking - what is Lady
Macbeth’s real name? Is it a bit like Curley’s wife in Of
Mice and Men where she hasn’t
got a name because women weren’t seen like proper members of
society? Cos she seems a bit tougher than that, so I was thinking she
could be called Beyoncé or Taylor, or something.
Also, do all women in books die? It don’t
seem right. There should be a book where a woman is the ruler of
everything and lives forever. Can you write one like that?
Thanx,
Jayden
Dear Jayden,
Everyone dies in the end. Men. Women.
Authors.
You and me.
Sorry.
Bill
Hi Mr Shakespeare,
When I leave school, I’m going to be an
astronaut. What’s the point of reading plays if that’s what I’m
going to do? How will poetry help me when I’m on the moon?
Thanx,
Jayden
Dear Jayden,
It’s a beautiful thing, the moon.
Did you know that it reflects the light of
the earth? The ashen light. We see the same light twice. Is that not
a thing worth pondering?
Best wishes,
Bill
