English Macbeth

Macbeth’s Playlist :

Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down

            After Macbeth kills the king and then Banquo he starts to loose his mind and go out of control. He seems scared and needs Lady Macbeth to stand by him as he becomes King and is fighting to keep it.

This Is War by 30 Seconds to Mars

            As Macbeth’s reign of terror continues, Macduff and Malcolm are preparing to go to war against Macbeth to say Scotland and her people from Macbeth’s endless killing. Macbeth must also prepare for war and must think of how it will affect his crown wants he wins because he know he can’t be killed.

Viva la Vida by Cold Play

            As Macbeth was preparing to defend his sinfully earned crown and the enemy was disguised with the boughs of the great Birnam Woods, he realized that he would loose. He knew is reign was over and he wouldn’t be on the top of the world anymore.  

We are the Champions by Queen

            After killing Banquo and making sure he would be king Macbeth would have been feeling like nothing could stop him from being king forever. Then again after going back to the witches and having his ego enlarged again he would have felt that he was ruling the world and he was the champion.

Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons

            After Macbeth was told of Lady Macbeth’s death he would have really connected with this song. Pardon me for the foul language but it would be far worse coming from Macbeth himself for losing the love of his life because of his greed.

Give Me Everything by Pitbbull feat

            After being promoted to Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth needed more and more and his greed over came him. He had to become King since he was so close to it. Greed was the idea that drove the play.

Power and Greed by Rage

            I know it is hard to understand, but once the lyrics become clear it is clear Macbeth would listen to this song. “To the power comes the greed,” makes so much sense because Macbeth always needed more and more and had to keep killing people to get it.

I Just Can’t Wait to Be King by Rowan Atkinson

            After Lady Macbeth and Macbeth put the final touches on their plan to kill the king, Macbeth would be looking for the future to be king and have all the power in the land.

Be Prepared by Tracy Nicole Chapman

            This song is from the Lion King and Macbeth would also be listening to it this song before killing the King to get ready, but also when Macbeth was persuading the Murders to kill Banquo and his son to strengthen his grip on the throne of Scotland.

Billionaire by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars

            This is another song Macbeth would be listening to because of his greed to have more and more. Because greed is such an important part of the play Macbeth would be listening to songs like this wanting more and more.
