Are you a fan of Lady Macbeth? Do you want to know every aspect of her life? Do you want to be just like her? If you answered yes to any of these questions you must take a look at the Netflix shows and movies that she recommends every woman, or man, must watch!
Scandal: This show has a strong female lead. The main character Olivia Pope defies stereotypes that are set on females in the work place. Her job is to 'fix problems' of others, and piece back lives together that have slowly drifted away. Lady Macbeth recommends this show because she can relate to wanting to break the stereotypes that are put upon women way too often in societies. She wants to be the opposite of what everyone else wants her to be. Watching Scandal gives her the empowerment to go out in the world and do what she wants.
How to Get Away with Murder: This is another show that has a outstandingly, strong female lead. It is about a lawyer named Analyse, who takes on huge law cases. She knows all the right tactics to take down her opponent and get what she wants. Lady Macbeth watched this right before convincing Macbeth to kill Duncan. She was able to learn how to get away with murder, and used the frisky techniques that Analyse used in the show.
Revenge: Once again, we are seeing a theme here, this show stars a female who is breaking through society. The main character Emily Thorn, comes back to her home town to avenge all of the people that had a part in taking down her father, and framing him for a terrorist attack. Lady Macbeth loved this one due to the amount of power and money that Emily possessed in the show. It was one of the things that pushed her over the edge to make Macbeth kill Duncan.
Tyler Perry's Temptation: If anyone knows about the power of temptation it is Lady Macbeth. This movie is about a woman married right out of college. She meets a new man at her job, and falls for his mystery and liveliness. While the temptation in the movie and in the life of Lady Macbeth are slightly different, the movie is still able to set a motion within her. She watched this movie right before she went to kill Duncan herself, yet she failed. None the less this movie is able to convince her to do the things that she is on the fence about.
Criminal Minds: This show is different from the rest that Lady Macbeth has previously recommended, and it is for a reason completely different than the ones above. This show is about criminals, the crimes they have competed, and how the FBI cracks the case. After Lady Macbeth finds out that her husband has killed Banquo she doesn't know what to think of the man she has married. She watches this show to help her get inside the mind of criminals hoping that it will reveal something about Macbeth that she has missed.
Love all the shows on this Netflix list! I thought it was great how you added Criminal Minds to the list for Lady Macbeth because it was different from the others and it showed how her character changed throughout the play. I also like how you explained how the shows influenced her actions in the play. I thought that was a very nice addition to your justifications! Great Job!!!
ReplyDeleteNice post! I like how you included Criminal Minds in the list. An interpretation i had of that was that she was recommended that show because she went insane in the end and ended up becoming a crazy criminal.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's strongly related, but I liked all of the nice hook questions at the beginning of the post. Must say, I do like the choice of the show "Getting Away With Murder," It made me laugh my expletives off. Also like the choice of the show "Revenge" for the framing of a character.
