 My experience of watching the movie screening of Macbeth was very enjoyable. We watched a performance of the play set in Shakespeare's time, with its original dialogues." The play Macbeth is about a brave general named Macbeth (played by Joseph Millson) who fights for King Duncan (played by Gawn Grainger). After winning a battle, Macbeth and his friend Banquo (played by Billy Boyd) meet three witches. These witches tell Macbeth that he will one day become the king of Scotland. When Macbeth tells his wife, Lady Macbeth, about the witches' prophecy, she encourages him to make it come true. Together, they plan to kill King Duncan. When Duncan visits their castle, they assassinate him. However, the actual murder is not shown on stage.

He criticizes the conventional use of rhyme in poetry, especially in longer works, as unnecessary and often restrictive.

He believes that adhering too rigidly to rhyme can make poetry mechanical and reduce its creative freedom. By choosing to forego rhyme, Milton aligns his work with the classical epics of Homer and Virgil, emphasizing the importance of poetic liberty over adherence to traditional f...
