Why should you read "Macbeth"? - Brendan Pelsue

The narrator deserves a raise. Immaculate voice acting

This is called mind control... yesterday I pricked my thumb mistakenly, today I watched lady macbeth coincidencely and now this 6 year old video dropped in my feed 😅..
Nice work Zio's 🎉

Great animation, wow, just looking like a wow

This is an incredibly well done intro to Macbeth and exactly what my students need in this video centric world. I show it to my students every semester and it really piques their interest. Seriously - great job! Thank you so much for this video!

Fabulous animation lifted a good precis. Only fault was the narrator's voices when the quoted passages. The attempt at a Scots accent was just cringeworthy, I'm afraid.

Macbeth teaches us an important lesson about inauthentic friends and the consequences of impulsively trusting them. Throughout the play, Macbeth's supposed friends, such as Banquo and Lady Macbeth, ultimately betray him for their own personal gain. This serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us to be wary of those who may not have our best interests at heart.

This doesn't say anything. Click bait.

Bit salty that the “screw your heart to the sticking place and we shall not fail” line wasn’t mentioned. Also the “what, you egg” line but that was to be expected

Of course TED omits the many Christian elements, the eternal questions - Faith/Nihilism

As a young boy, I have played as the first witch in a school play.

Doesn’t it sounds like the theme for game of thrones

That was so cool . The animation, the sound effects and the voice are just wow

"The milk of human kindness"
Who has ever said that???????????

Somebody need to do this with America

witches battles murders cool lines and at the end he gets his head chopped off what is there not to love

Are you sure you wanna go this route? It saddens me to see so much greed.

Macbeth is the first play I'd ever seen, and no other production has ever quite hit me the same way. I first saw it when I was 12. Years later, I did some digging and found out that three of the characters are my direct ancestors. My mom's side of the family is Stuart, from Robert the Bruce's son (this is where the House of Stuart comes from). It's pretty common in the UK to have royal ancestry. However, it's still my family, and this play gave me a special connection to them.

Interesting side notes: MacBeth was Duncan's first cousin. Macbeth actually did have a son, but Malcolm killed him. Malcolm went on to marry Saint Margaret of Scotland. They were seen as having an ideal marriage. Margaret taught Malcolm how to read, and Malcolm would buy her guilded books. Their dynamic was pretty similar to Merida's parents in Brave. Margaret was actually an English royal, and more genteel, whereas Malcolm was more rough around the edges. Margaret was devoted to the poor and taught her kids to wash their feet before they ate breakfast. She also designed a bunch of welfare programs for the poor. So that's the "where they are now."

I simply can't stop watch this. The animation is fantastic.

It's so interesting how Lady Macbeth seems to be the epitome of guilt in the play when in the earlier acts, she seems to encourage Macbeth to think no more of the murder of King Duncan.

ted-ed 's animators are like the most creative people everrr

Please don't call it that.
Call it "the Scottish play"

I'm in theatre and I've studied the occult, so I can say: The witches' curse is just nicknames for herbs. It's most likely a bunch of neurodivergent ladies talking over herbal tea.

"When shall we 3 meet again?"
I can do next Tuesday.

you shouldnt it svcks d1ck

This is just a summary, not a reason to watch....

Wow how beautifully this video is created.
Narration, animation, music ,sound , everything is perfect..

Watching this video is an artful experience

The Macbeth adaptation on apple tv is a masterpiece! Made read the whole thing after I watched it for only 20minutes

We need an adaptation

you shouldnt

The thumbnail looked like Martyr Logarius. I am disappointed.

We have this and julius ceaser by Shakespeare in highschool

The same reason one should read the Bible. To know, and to reason upon. Daniel 12:4 in the time of the end, many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. By righteousness shall Gods servant Jesus, justify a multitude Isaiah 53:10-12🎉

This is how you communicate with the great unwashed!!! Excellent choice

"what you egg" he stabs him

What's a good adaptation of Macbeth?

Macbeth, Animal Farm, and Lord of the Flies all have in common the quote:




“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
-John Dalberg-Acton

Just ordered this ! Seems interesting

alba forever

😮, but what about God Of War and The Old Story Of The Greek/Roman Creation Myth.

Am I tripping, or is this narrator the protag from Amnesia?

Edit: He's not, but he really reminded me of him

macbanquo is real guys

Read it in high school

COME OUT DAMNED SPOT! OUT, I SAY.

Try also reading about the real history of Macbeth. He was actually a successful king who reigned for 10 years. Duncan having died in battle not in bed. The Tudors had got into power through usurpation when Henry Vll beat Richard lll in battle.

FUN HISTORICAL FACT:
Schools before 1606 were 10 times easier... Since you didn't have to learn about, or read Macbeth. 👁👄👁

The Northman (2021)

don't bother reading it, go and see it in theatre

By the Scottish play, I assume you mean Macbeth.
