IV.  My Reaction

A. Reaction Point - imagery （比較的表現）

• the physical descriptions of characters, setting or events in a story.
• Methought I heard a voice cry “Sleep no more！Macbeth does murder sleep.”
• They seem to have been calculating in the cycle until Shakespeare's time of death in this sentence, it's how to die.

B. Reaction Point - setting（設定、背景、場所）

• the time, place and/or situation in which a story takes place.
• “I have done the deed. Did thou not hear a noise?” “I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry.”
• The depth of keeping quiet is emphasized to tell a cry. This is the exquisite musical effect. Simultaneously, It also suggest that an assassination succeeded with noticing no one.

C. Reaction Point - appeal（〜を引きつける、魅力）

• the reasons a story is liked or enjoyed
• “Foul is fair, and fair is foul.” “Come what may, Time and the hour runs thought the roughest day.”
• This sentence showed that Shakespeare was writing smoothly while enjoying a life.

IV.  My General opinion

 Basics of the dramas of Shakespeare are that a main character is deceived for s lie. It is that the tragedy is coaxed for a lie and perishes. I felt that the drama of Shakespeare was modern. And, I thought that Macbeth resembled modern people in character. He is strong in both the greed for success in life and the self-assertion. However, he doesn't have ability and wants to always rely on somebody. I read this book, and I felt the weakness of the human heart. Even if I was a reliable person, I thought that I did a terrible thing when a devil shined. Various human psychology was written in this work and were very interesting.
