Thank you so much! I especially love how you don't just go through the text but explain it with little sidenotes, like with van Gogh...really cool. I find this so interesting, and it's not properly being covered in school, wich makes this so fun for me.
Thank you, Clara. I agree - teachers very often just stick with the obvious. It's too bad. I believe many young people are craving the kind of wisdom Shakespeare has to offer.
18:07 I think this like could be a biblical reference. (Matthew 6:26: "the believer looks at the birds in the sky, that do not reap nor gather into the barns, and trust that the Father will provide.") The boy is asked how he will live, if his father is not there to provide for him and that is exactly what Jesus gives an answer to in this quote. To live like the birds and have faith that God will provide for him. I really don't know if that was Shakespeare's intention, but I immediately had that in mind, when I first read that passage.
That's an interesting observation. I can't say for certain that Shakespeare is alluding to the Bible passage you mention, but he very well may be. My guess is yes. An answer can probably be found somewhere in the scholarly literature on Macbeth. Thanks for that:)
thank you, had to take a day off because of bus strikes and had to prepare this scene on my own. great help, thank you
You're very welcome. Glad it helped! Hope the strike ends soon:)

"What, you egg?"
*[he stabs him]*
Ha. Insults, like jokes, often don't travel well through time and/or space.
