Macbeth Playlist

Here is my playlist for the character Macbeth: 1. I'll Make a Man Out of You - Mulan I chose this track because it symbolizes Macbeth's transition from a passive man to a strong killer through the influence of his wife who specifically said she wanted to make him onto a real man. 2. Unwell - Matchbox 20 I chose this track because it shows how Macbeth had a mental breakdown after he murdered people. He started seeing paranormal things like the dead Banquo. He saw things and heard voices like the speaker in this song. 3. Be Prepared - The Lion King It shows Macbeth's eagerness to become king. Just as Scar plans to kill Mufasa in this song, Macbeth plans to kill Duncan to gain the throne. 4. Viva la Vida - Coldplay Although this song was most likely written about the French ruler Napoleon, it deacribes Macbeth as if he were speaking from the dead. One moment Macbeth ha so much power and seemed invincible until he was killed I an unexpected duel. His power was torn from him suddenly and unexpectedly. 5. Roll Away Your Stone - Mumford and Sons This song was actually influenced by Macbeth. It contains the quote, "Stars, hide your fires", a direct quote from the play. More importantly, it speaks about how the singer's life has turned to darkness and it now dominates everything. This is what happened to Macbeth when he began to seek power. Darkness and evil and consequence surrounded his life. 6. I Just Can't Wait to be King - The Lion King It shows how Simba is eager to take the gmtheine just as Macbeth was eager to take the throne, leading him to some bad decisions. 7. Getting Away With Murder - Papa Roach It describes the guilty feeling of getting away with murder that Macbeth initially had after killing Duncan which consumed his life. 8. Let's Kill Tonight - Panic! At the Disco The reason why I chose this track is obvious. It deacribes the idea between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth of killing Duncan at night. 9. I Want It All - Queen Being Thane of Calwdor was enough for Macbeth. he had to be king. And after that, he wanted to assure that the line of kings would continue in his name so he murdered children who were potential heirs since he had no sons. His desire to have it all drove his bad decisions and his every move. 10. Papercut - Linkin Park Like Unwell, this describes the paranoid feeling Macbeth had after murdering Duncan and Banquo. It deacribes the paranormal voices and images he saw and heard. http://open.spotify.com/user/1222875807/playlist/25VdolhoxE5YSflDE1Utv6 For some reason the link didn't post before so hopefully this worked.
