The reason I choose this video to represent my perception of Macbeth, is simply because I believe it really shows Macbeth real frame of mind. Additionally this video pretty much sum’s everything up in six minutes and fifty-one second. Also including the rhyming weird sister witches, who show Macbeth what the good news is. However the good news to Macbeth is actually scary news to him, just because it was exactly what was on his mind, Macbeth was already thinking about being king. Nevertheless even though this video might pretty graphic and a little disturbing to some during the beginning, but it gets straight to the point and really shows Macbeth psychotic obsession with being king. The video of Macbeth explains a beloved warrior knight who kills his king and lives by fair is foul.

The lucky picture of Macbeth that I have chosen out of the millions over the internet, is the one that fits my perception of Macbeth after reading the summary of Macbeth on Wikipedia. It shows how I envisioned Macbeth as i was reading it, as a knight warrior with some armor and of course a sword. Macbeth stance in the picture and facial expression represent his warrior archetype, where he sort of looks like he is in a trance as if he is ready to attack. On the other hand, as if a lion is hunting it’s pray. With his hands and finger tips around his sword, it shows as if he is trying to impose some type of fear, to say he can strike at any moment. In his facial expression, he looks like he is not afraid to do what is needed to be done. From what I read on Wikipedia, I know Macbeth has a warrior archetype just by knowing he has been in a battle and had won by defeating the allied force from Norway and Ireland by a traitor Macdonwald. Additionally as being the king kinsman, Macbeth is known for doing all the dirty work to battle it out to defend and killing all adversary’s that oppose him or the king. But just like all warrior archetype there is a thrive of completing something or reaching a certain goal that sets off an adventure and bunch of obstacles, and for Macbeth that journey begins when he wants to become king.

Blog Entry 2.2: Archetype (Warrior)

I find it pretty funny and ironic that my archetype is a warrior, just because i recently had just seen the movie “Gladiator” about a week ago. So when I found out my archetype was a warrior automatically I thought about the movie. For those of you who are familiar with the warrior archetype and have seen the movie Gladiator absolutely know what I’m talking about when I say Maximus is a true and prime example of a warrior. The warrior archetype resembles someone who is loyal, fights for what they believe in, and have a tendency of overcoming adversity with the strength and courage to never give up, pretty much imposing their will and dominance with the heart and desire. The picture above is from the movie “Gladiator” it’s the scene where Maximus is fighting the legendary Titus the god, in a very unfair fight for his life. It just really resemble what a warrior is to me in my opinion. He is defying the odds and overcoming adversity just simply by imposing his will in a battle against a very large and intimidating opponent, as well surviving with three tigers surrounding them as they battle for dominance. Another aspect of being a warrior is simply competitiveness, the will to compete which reminds of the modern day warrior, which in my opinion is a UFC (MMA) fighter. Just like Gladiator’s, UFC fighters compete and battle in similar arenas that have changed from the roman era to the year 2010. If you take a look at the two pictures shown below you can see the comparison. Additionally with a comparison of Gladiators and UFC (MMA) fighters.









So as you can see, the gladiator days have evolved a lot.

Blog Entry 2.1: Symbolism and Archetypes in "Goblin Market"

What I’ve learned about Christina Rossetti is that her actual name is Christina Georgina Rossetti. Christina was born in London England on December, 5, 1830, where she grew up to be one of the most important woman poets of the 19th century in England. Christina Rossetti was known as a woman poet who wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and children’s poems. Whenever Christina Rossetti comes to mind people will most likely remember her for her famous poems, such as, Goblin Market, In the Bleak Midwinter, and her love poem Remember. The web sources I used for Christina Rossetti were - http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/crossetti/bioov.html and - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Rossetti

Now on her poem The Goblin Market it’s about these two girls Laura and Lizzie who are sister hearing cry’s from goblins to come buy fruit from them, they ignore it but only Laura is tempted enough to go see what is going on. Soon enough Laura is being offered a fruit by a goblin. Laura not having any money offered some of her hair in exchange for some fruit, the goblin agrees and in joy Laura starts to eat the fruit on her way home. But after eating the goblin fruit she Laura starts to become very ill, and Lizzie being worried of her sister illness goes to the goblin market to find the source of her sister illness. When Lizzie arrives to the goblin market with only mere money. Additionally the goblins weren’t too pleasant with Lizzie attitude of nothing letting herself be tempted like her sister. The goblins start assaulting and forcefully trying to make her eat the fruit. While having her mouth shut, Lizzie was able to runaway with the goblin fruit juice around her face and body. As she gets to the house she now has Laura digest the remaining fruit juices in order for her to start her transformation of becoming well. Then as they grow from their experience and later on grow older and become mothers and wives, they now share their story to their children about the dangers of the goblin fruit and how strong there sisterly bond is.

From Christina Rossetti The Goblin Market, I picked up a few symbolism of imagery that she implanted in this poem. She wanted her readers to visualize, what was actually going on. Main symbol I found was obvious, “Fruit”. The Fruit resemble temptation and the desire of wanting more as being forbidden and the birth of evil. Sort of like the whole Adam and Eve story, where Eve was tempted to eat the forbidden apple, just like how Laura was tempted by the goblins to eat thier fruit.I honestly think this was just a poem that relates to Adam and Eve in a way. In my opinion, this poem has subliminal perverted imagery that gets across. But then again as I did, my research on Christina Rossetti her poem The Goblin Market was not entitled as children poem to begin with.
