Dagger scene
If I was the director of Macbeth I would not use a dagger at all during the dagger speech to show that Macbeth is mad. Mine eyes are made the fools o'th'other senses (2.1.44). this shows that Macbeth's eyes say that he does have the dagger. His other senses say that he does not have the dagger. I believe that Macbeth is mad because he is imagining things that are not there.
Is Macbeth mad
Macbeth is mad. This is shown by the fact that he is imagining a dagger that is not there. Is this a dagger which I before me / The handle toward my hand? Come let me clutch thee: / I have thee not , and yet see thee still. (2.1.33-35). Macbeth is talking about the dagger that he is going to kill king Duncan with. Macbeth can see the dagger even though he does not have it with him. Macbeth's senses are starting to deceive him. mine eyes are made the o'th'other senses / Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still (2.1.44-45). Macbeth' eyes are starting deceive him while all his other senses are working. Macbeth is mad because he is imaging a dagger that is not there, and his eyes are deceiving him.

Media Analysis Assignment
Sept 22 13 Media Analysis Assignment Charles
the
film maker gives us many opinions to say that copywriting is bad. I agree that
the record companies are taking advantage with copywriting. this is shown when
Warner Chapel tried to sue people that used Radiohead's music that was put up
for free use on the internet.
Bias is
shown in this film. My first example of this is when the film maker talked to the author of air pirates, Dan
O'Neill. The film shows only shows the side of the of O'Neill and not the side
of Disney. This is biased because Disney's role in the lawsuits are not taken
in account. Another example of bias is when the film maker talks about Girl
Talk's music, and how his music is made through remixing various songs into
one. This is biased because the film does not involve the story of the record
companies that think that taking samples of songs and making mash ups with them
is against the law.
I think
that the future of making mash ups out of song samples is good for the remix
artists. I say this because if artists continue to put music up for free on the
internet mash up artists will not have to deal with copyright infringement from
record companies.
