MacBeth

     In the movie Macbeth, Duncan dies by falling into the boiling fry-grease.  In the story, Macbeth stabs Duncan as part of a well thought out plan.  My original interpretation of the scene was that it was a dramatic, story-changing part of the play.  In the movie, however, Duncan is accidently killed, and in a somewhat funny way.

     Another scene from the movie that reminded of the play was the scene where Banquo’s ghost showed up at the opening party of MacBeth’s restaurant.  In the play Banquo’s ghost shows up at the party for MacBeth becoming king.  In both versions, MacBeth is the only one that sees him, and Lady MacBeth must cover for him, saying he has an illness.  This scene was very much like i imagined it.
