Another one bites the dust

Steve walks warily down the street,
with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along,
without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
and kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Chorus
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
repeating the sound of the beat
This is a perfect song for Macbeth, because throughout the play he starts to kill all those that he feels threatened by. He also feels that he is invinciple to all men because everybody is of women born. The song talks about a man who is ready for afight and feels that he can kill everybody that gets in his way.

" The tables full", " which of you has done this" Act 3, scene 4

At this time in the play, Macbeth is King of Scotland. He is having a party. After Macbeth killed Duncan, Macbeth turned around and killed his good friend Banquo. He kills Banquo because the witches tell Banquo that he will be the father of kings. Macbeth cant deal with the idea that after he is dead Banquo's son's will take the throne. So Macbeth kils Banquo and tries to kill his son Fleance but is unsuccessful. At his party Macbeth believes he see's the ghost of Banquo sitting in his chair. This part of the play shows that Macbeth is having guilty thoughts about killing Banquo. Not killing Fleance has changed the fate of the play.

" I go, and it is done: the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven, or to hell" Act 2, scene 1, lines 3

In this quote Macbeth is on his way to kill Duncan. Macbeth is having trouble with the idea of killing his King. Macbeth hears the bell ring and prayes that Duncan dosent hear it. He tells Duncan in his mind that the bell calls for his death. Macbeth kills him. This quote shows that in this part of the play Macbeth is no longer struggling with the thought of killing his king, but he has alredy done so.

"Stay you imperfect speakers, tell me more" Act I, scene 3, line 71

In this quotation Macbeth and Banquo are riding when they came upon three witches. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become king and that Banquo will be the father of kings. As Macbeth hears this he wants to learn more. He cant fathern the idea of him becoming king because he was not the next in line. As the witches tell him he realizes that he must kill king Duncan in order to become king. In this point of the play Macbeth is not yet serious about killing Duncan, but yet he is toying with the idea.

Macbeth


I believe this is a great picture of Macbeth. In the play I picture Macbeth looking very greedy and wanting nothing but power. This picture portrays him looking angery and dressed as a king. He also looks nervous, as if he knows he should'nt be king and is afrid that people will overthrow him. Macbeth would choose this picture because he believes he should be king, and this picture dipicts him having power.
