Theatre 2NDES 7

Située dans l’Ecosse médiévale, cette pièce raconte l'histoire de Macbeth, seigneur écossais, et de son étrange rencontre avec trois sorcières qui lui prophétisent qu'il deviendra roi.
Macbeth se transforme alors en un homme égoïste et ambitieux. Poussé par sa femme, il décide de tuer le roi Duncan pour devenir souverain. Mais pour dissimuler son crime, il est contraint à des meurtres de plus en plus nombreux… Il y a toujours un revers à la médaille et le couple sanguinaire commence à souffrir de visions inquiétantes, d'insomnies, et de tourments intérieurs. Macbeth succombe aux puissances du mal et ses crimes finissent par fausser son jugement, empoisonner son imagination et le laisser complètement seul et isolé.

(none) | Print-friendly version MacDuff ends tyrant Thane's ruthless ruleIs this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Macbeth (above), Act II, Scene I
	Scotland is once again "the free" this morning, after brave soldier MacDuff cut down butchering bigwig Macbeth. Murderer Macbeth's relentless rise to power began when he ran into three creepy crones who predicted he'd one day be king. Driven by ambition, he plunged Scotland into a reign of terror, killing anyone who stood in his way. Wicked Wife Egged on by his bitter, unstable wife, Lady Macbeth, Macbeth's first horrific crime was to stab rightful King	Duncan to death in a frenzied attack - leaving the throne open for himself. Then, scared that best mate Banquo suspected him, he arranged for a hit squad to slaughter his old friend. Only by chance did Banquo's young son Fleance escape the three brutal killers who ended his dad's life. From then on, no-one in Scotland was safe. Men, women and children, including MacDuff's own family, were massacred in their own homes. But the
	Continued below...
Macbeth Macbeth was originally one of King Duncan's top soldiers. Told he would be King one day by witches, his lust for power made him dangerously unstable, vicious and lonely. Lady Macbeth A strong, ambitious woman, Lady Macbeth encouraged her husband in his reckless climb to the top. Eventually, though, she cracked under the pressure. Banquo A strong soldier, Banquo fought side to side with Macbeth. But when witches said his sons would be Scotland's future kings, Macbeth turned against him. Macduff Great warrior MacDuff always suspected Macbeth. Eventually he fled to England to help lead an uprising from there. His wife and children were put to death as revenge.
bloodbath they had caused took its toll even on the vicious Macbeth couple. Haunted by her guilt, Lady Macbeth began sleep- walking and eventuallykilled herself. Her husband, meanwhile, couldn't sleep and claimed to see Banquo's ghost. Finally, brave MacDuff teamed up with Duncan's son Malcolm, the rightful heir, and led an English-Scottish army to victory. Camoflagued with branches from nearby Birnam Wood, they crept up on Macbeth's grim stronghold of Dunsinane, forcing the depraved despot out onto the battlefield. There, MacDuff faced him, beat him down - and made a present of his head to new Scottish King Malcolm. What they said: "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day." Macbeth, Act V, Scene V "Out, damned spot! out, I say! Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?" Lady Macbeth, Act V, Scene I

Tales :Gap year

Gap year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an English expression (also known as sabbatical, time off' and time out) referring to a period of time - not necessarily 12 months in which students take time off and do something other than schooling, such as travel or work. Most commonly taken after secondary school and before starting university. However, over recent years there has been an increase in 21-23 year olds taking time out after completing their degree; becoming the most common time period to take a trip abroad.

The practice of taking a deferred year developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. During this time, a student might travel, engage in volunteer work overseas or undertake a working holiday abroad. In 2010, year out travel increased among school, college and university leavers, as this is seen as an attractive option for future career development.

In the United States, the practice of taking a "year off" remains the exception. Taking a year out has recently become slightly more common for Americans.The practice tends used to only prevail for students with some level of personal or family means. However, over recent years there has been an increase in 21-23 year olds taking a year out after completing their degree or masters degree; becoming the most common time period to take a travel period or "Sabbatical year" as it is also know in the US.
