Lady Macbeth's Ideal Saturday Night
Mulan
Lady Macbeth would love this movie because Mulan does what Lady Macbeth wishes she could do: Mulan turn into a guy. Lady Macbeth's famous speech reveals that she herself wishes she could turn into a man so she could commit murder. Lady Macbeth would be able to connect with Mulan because of their identical strong willpower to do what they want and not let others stop them.
How to Get Away with Murder
Lady Macbeth would originally watch this to figure out how she could get away with the murder of King Duncan. However, she would continue watching as the plot thickens in the show, as well as in her own life. Lady Macbeth would love the drama that begins occurring in the life of Viola Davis and would use it to escape the guilt she is beginning to feel about the murders she has helped commit.
Reign
Lady Macbeth would love this show because of the strong female character of Queen Mary, but also because of the stories of royalty. The love triangle in the show would amuse Lady Macbeth, but the real appeal would be the character of Queen Mary herself. Queen Mary is very decisive and makes sure she gets what she wants, just like Lady Macbeth.
Legally Blonde
Elle Woods would be Lady Macbeth's favorite character ever. Lady Macbeth would adore Elle's independence and her ability to do anything and everything a man could do. Elle does this all while keeping her femininity as well. Elle even gets into Harvard Law School! She does this and more which Lady Macbeth would love to do.
Leap Year
Once again, the strong female character of Anna Brady would appeal to Lady Macbeth. Anna Brady takes life into her own hands when she goes to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend. This gets interrupted by a handsome stranger she meets along the way. It is very obvious that Anna wears the pants in her relationship, just like Lady Macbeth does in her marriage to Macbeth.
I agree with the choices that you made for Lady Macbeth's recommendations, they would appeal to her independence and strong-will. I especially like the choice of Legally Blonde because although it might seem at first a bit pretentious, the characters of the movie are very developed and would connect with Lady Macbeth's willingness to do whatever in order to get what she wants.
ReplyDeleteAll of these choices definitely fit Lady Macbeth's character. She possesses the qualities of a strong female character, and she's also the one who plotted to kill Duncan, so HTGAWM would definitely be her fave TV show (it's my fave lol)
ReplyDeleteMulan was such a great choice for this journal entry as I think that it is the complete embodiment of Lady Macbeth and her desires to be a man. I also chose how to get away with murder which is of course perrrrrfectttt for Lady Macbeth. The title itself is perfectly adjacent to what Lady Macbeth is having to deal with. As far as Legally Blonde, while the main character is extremely strong and hard working, I'm not sure that Lady M would like certain mannerisms that Elle possesses. I feel as though Lady M with identify with a more masculine character. But overall, I really liked this entry!
ReplyDeleteI really love all of your choices, especially Legally Blonde. You made really great choices that reflect a really important aspect of Lady M's character, her strength. You chose movies and shows that all have great female roles who I could definitely see Lady Macbeth relating to.
