1. Macbeth is a play that remains relevant and interesting over 400 years after it was written, as is the case with many of Shakespeare’s works. Why is Shakespeare still worth reading?
Answer:
Shakespeare is still worth reading because the stories are interesting with amazing plot twist and characters. For example, Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love with each other and their families dislike each other. And Romeo kills himself because he thinks Juliet is dead. Macbeth betrays and kills the king that he adores because of the seed of greed. This shows Romeo loved Juliet dearly and that he couldn’t live without her. And Macbeth had adored the King so much that he rather kill the king and a be a king.

2. Is Duncan a fool for going to Macbeth’s castle and not suspecting the danger posed to him there by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? Why or why not?
Answer using complete sentences:
Prewriting:

Conclude:
Duncan wasn’t a fool but he was foolish to trust a fool that plotted to kill him and succeed. Duncan wasn’t and still isn’t a fool because he trusted a simile and mustache. Duncan trusted the wrong man that did good deed but the lesson learned here is that a person can do well just as much as a person can do wrong and that greed is the ulatime
