Macbeth Post Mortem Monologue - Banquo

I should have known that Macbeth would try to kill me and Fleance. Macbeth was being told all these prophecies and I just had to ask the Witches about my future.

Knowing that I would be "Lesser than Macbeth, and greater./Not so happy, yet much happier./Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none" (1.3.67-69), Macbeth decided to get rid of me and all my descendants. I should have known Macbeth was up to something when he asked me "Ride you this afternoon?" (3.1.21) and then told me to "Fail not our feast."(3.1.31)

Even earlier, when Macbeth killed King Duncan, he was acting strange and was asking whether or not I had ever thought about doing anything to make the Witches' predictions come true. If I was thinking straight, I should have known that Macbeth would go kill Fleance and me next in order to prevent my prophecy from coming true.

Macbeth just couldn't stop my prophecy from coming true. Fleance survived, even though Macbeth had sent murderers to kill the both of us. My death did nothing to keep my descendants from becoming king. As promised, I showed up at the banquet (as a ghost), but that made Macbeth go crazy. My death only made things worse for Macbeth.

Most of what I learned about myself from these personality tests I already knew. It was interesting to find out that one of my top intelligences was Social, since I don't see myself as a social person. Also, my result from the Visual Personality Quiz was very interesting.

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

This song best represents my philosophy on life. I feel that we are to live every day by making the world a better place for "For You And For Me/And The Entire Human Race". If we are to live our lives the way we want, why don't we try to make the world a  better for everyone to live in.

Lord of the Flies Character Monologue Samneric

If things had gone the way Ralph had planned, we would not be like this. We know what you’re thinking, you should have listened to Ralph, but what use would that have been with Jack around.

Now Ralph, we know you only tried to do what was best, keeping the signal fire going so that we can be saved. Just think about it, if you had listened to Jack’s opinions, we’d be in a better position than we are now. As we said before, “‘what's the good’" (180)? Trying to keep a fire going when it was just the both of us, Piggy, and you made no sense. It never did work. If you had made a compromise with Jack, we could have had a better, longer lasting fire going.

As for you Jack, we both, as well as almost everyone else, thought that you took things too far. Sure we all wanted meat, but if you helped Ralph out once in a while, he wouldn’t have had to yell at you like he did. “‘All the same—’” (191), you could have talked things out with Ralph, but instead, you went on doing things without even thinking. If it weren’t for the actions of you and the hunters, we’d still have Piggy and Simon with us.

To think that going to the feast that Jack invited all of us to was a good idea. At the time, we thought “[t]hat must be fun…’” (157), but really, Jack was trying to get us to join his tribe. If we all weren’t caught up in the feast, Simon might not have died. Simon was a good guy, but then again, we may never know what he was trying to tell us. All we both heard him say was “something about a dead man on a hill” (168). Also, even though Simon wandered off by himself once in a while, he did what was expected of him. He helped build all the shelters and stayed with Ralph the whole time before he died.

The same thing goes for Piggy. He had good ideas and only tried to help Ralph keep things in order. Piggy was right in many things. We both agree with Piggy, would we have been better off “‘to be a pack of painted Indians like [Jack was], or to be sensible like Ralph [was]’” (200)? Also, would it have been better “‘to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill’” (200)? If Piggy was still with us, he’d probably would “talk sense”, telling us that what we did wrong perhaps.

For the record, we did all we could to protect you, Ralph. When we were part of Jack’s tribe, we had no choice but to do what he wanted so that we could stay alive. No matter what, we had told you that it would be best for you “‘to go for your own good.’” (209). We had told you that “‘[t]he Chief and Roger –… They’re going to do you’” (209) and to “‘[k]eep away. As far as you can’” (210). If you and Jack would have got along better, thing might have turned out better than they were.

A Glimpse of the Future

The most epic day...
It is impossible to imagine what the world would be like then.
Life and learning,
A perspective that has not been seen before.
I see it now,
The entire fabric of society.
I have the strength of
All-star legends, superhero or villain.
The most epic day,
How far it seems.
Ideas start here...
"The game's afoot..."

The Prophesies of Macbeth

1. "All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!" (1.3.50)
   Fate #1: Macbeth will become Thane of Glamis (Past).
2. "All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" (1.3.51)
   Fate #2: Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor (Present).
3. "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!" (1.3.52)
   Fate #3: Macbeth will become King of Scotland (Future).
4. "Beware Macduff,/Beware the Thane of Fife." (4.1.78-79)
   Macduff will kill Macbeth in the end.
5. "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn/The power of man, for none of woman born/Shall harm Macbeth." (4.1.87-89)
   Macbeth will not be harmed by any man of "women born". Only a man born of a Caesarean section, the only unnatural form of birth available during Macbeth's time, could kill Macbeth (possible Macduff).
   
6. "Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care/Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are:/Macbeth shall never be vanquished, until/Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill/Shall come against him." (4.1.99-103)
   Macbeth cannot be harmed unless Great Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. Possibly Macduff and Malcom's troops will disguise themselves as trees and move from Great Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Hill.
