This week we started our group project on shakespear. We had a choice between Macbeth and King Leer. I chose Macbeth and I am currently in a group of 3. What we are doing with this is chosing a theory and watching the play that we chose and seeing how said theory applies. We chose Psychoanalytical which basically says that there are subconscious forces that affect the physical actions and choices we make. This is a great theory I think for myself because I just took Psychology so a lot of the studies and theories that we are using for our play are still fresh in my mind from that class. I think this theory will be very relevant to the play because MB is very much manipulated by his subconscious from questioning how he will become king, to becoming king. Not only is MB affected by his own subconscious, but by those of others. His wife for instance wants to be queen so she pushes him along on the rugged path to the throne. This theory is applicable to reality because people do things from normal to crazy in order to get what they want. They are willing to put others down and kill to get more power, so MB isn't too unrealistic in that department. People are also pursuaded by others. This is seen through something simpler like school cliques. Popularity very much changes the mindset of people. They dress a certain way, talk and act certain ways, and like certain things in order to impress others, and to get in that "group".
