I’m back! Hellooo ~
As I promised in my second entry, now, I’m going to talk about how picky
I was when I read Macbeth original text. So, this is what I wrote in my second
entry: “I jotted down everything when I gone through Macbeth and I realized
that I was too picky when I read the original text.” Okay…Hhmmm…How to start my
story???
Actually this post
should be posted on 9th May 2012 but since I have no time to post, I
jotted down my points and plan to post it later. And yeah…lastly I manage to
post this! I started to read Act 1 Scene 1, the very first scene in the novel.
3 weird sisters start the story. The story was quite interesting but I did not
know some of the words such as hurly-burly, ere, and anon. I looked up
dictionary for the meaning of the words. Some people will just continue reading
even though they don’t know the meaning of the words because they don’t want to
be distracted. As for me, I could not continue reading if I don’t know the
meaning of the words. I will feel unsatisfied until I know it. I know this way
of reading is not encouraged. Huhu…
Then I entered Scene 2.
As usual, I read while looking up dictionary. Continue with Scene 3 and Scene 4.
Then, I started to have a feeling of “Oh no…what did you write Shakespeare? Are
you trying to kill me?” Honestly, when I read Macbeth, I can feel the heaviest
stone is in my heart. I can’t breathe when I read it! It’s so difficult! I read
some scenes until I fell asleep! Some scenes are so boring. I could not ‘stick’
to the text for only 5 minutes!
Lastly, I chose the
interesting scenes to read ONLY. If the scene in the original text gives me a
sense of excitement, then I’ll continue reading. Otherwise, I only read the
analysis in SparkNotes to get the idea of the particular scene. Mostly I skipped
the fighting part or about war.
That’s all for this entry. =)
