This is the sleepwalking scene where Lady Macbeth believes that there is bloodstains on her hands. The sounds played throughout this scene is played by the orchestra which makes this scene very dramatic as if she is frighten with guilt just by looking at her hand. In the beginning of the scene Lady Macbeth starts with a candle lit which can mean truth, love, and faith. The truth is where she writes on the wall with red lipstick to symbolize passion and perhaps anger. In her drawing she has a man with a crown which symbolizes the love for her husband. In the end of the scene she dims the candle which symbolizes her faith. As Lady Macbeth dims the candle light it means that she has already chosen her path in life because she had brought shame upon herself. In this video where Lady Macbeth draws the king she smudges the other person next to him and rubs the red lipstick on herself. This is also very symbolic because this is Banquo's blood wiped on her white dress. White is a color that symbolizes innocence and purity that the guilt of blood has already taken over. Lady Macbeth was sleepwalking while doing this because her unconsciousness fears the guilt that had told her husband to act upon a sin.

These are the three witches from Macbeth. In this picture the archetypes are the witches. Witches are very crooked, mischievous, evil, and old. Many other archetypes that encounter witches do not fully trust them. Witches are not like other characters because they talk differently. They do no not use sentences like humans do but rather they talk in chanting phrases. What is symbolic about this picture is that these witches travel in three which symbolizes past, present and future; where the witches predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glams and King. These three witches prophesizes that Macbeth will have a change of events in his life. In the begginning of the play the three witches start off in a desert and a heath just like in the picture above. This deserted area is empty which symbolizes a forbidden endless land of nothing. On the bottom of the tree the roots seem to be growing a sharp object with teeth and claws. This is the magic of the heath and the three witches. You never know what to expect from witches when you encounter them.

About This Picture

Chobits is a Japanese animation about a personal computer(persocom) named Chi. Chi is different from other persocoms because she tries to find love. Her previous master has left her abandonned in the streets which allows a young college student to pick her up and restart her system. By then her memory from her previous life is erased, which means she has to relearn daily activites. Due to the fact that her memory has been whipped out she thinks of herself as a human. Her loneliness during the days makes her find an interest in this book called A City with No People which reconnects herself to her past sister Freya. Freya talks to Chi about finding the one for her and her past life. Since she is a custom made android Chi's powerful will turns her her master Hideki for love for which is the reason she was searching for when she came to this world.

Why Am I categorized as a Wanderer?
I think of myself as a wanderer because when I was little my parents had to manage two restaurants on their own. Growing up was difficult because I only had the guidance of my two brothers. Just like Chi I wore mostly clothes for boys. I am different from other girls because I do not get along with them, as I was growing up my two brothers, they basically taught me how to act like a town boy. Now when i meet people all I talk about are video games and cars. To many girls, they will find me boring and weird. I can relate to Chi's book A City with No People because as she is reading it in the animation it seems that the rabbit does not fit in when he sees family members all hugging one another. As I look at my first cousins I always see them hugging their parents but in my family none of us show affection towards one another. Sometimes I feel like the rabbit in the book A City with No People.

Blog Entry 2.1 - "Goblin Market" Symbols & Archetypes

            Christina Georgina Rossetti was born in London from 1830 to 1894. She started writing at the age of seven and published her first poem at the age of eighteen. Rossetti comes from a family of writers; her siblings and her father were all a form of inspirational writers. During the 1840s her family encountered financial issues due to her father’s health which caused Rossetti to drop out of school. Rossetti has written many poems such as The Face of the Deep, The Germ, and one of her famous works The Goblin Market. The Goblin Market was published in 1862 when she was thirty one years old. This famous literature of hers is about temptation in the Victorian era and female gender roles. On December 29, 1894 she passed away due to breast cancer.
            The poem "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti is about two sisters Lizzie and Laura who are walking by the brook fetching water. As they walk Laura feels tempted by the goblins who are selling fruits. Lizzie warns Laura about the goblin's poisonous fruits. However, Laura does not comply to her warnings about the fruits the goblins are selling so she pays for the fruits with her golden lock of hair due to the lack of money she has in her pocket. Soon after eating the delicious fruit she finds herself deaf and blind the following day. Seeing that Laura is so hopeless and sicken Lizzie returns to the Goblin Market. At the goblin Market Lizzie gets beaten and thrown fruits because she paid the goblins with real money instead of a piece of her. Lizzie returns home all bruised up demanding that Laura licks the remaining juices from her mouth. The next day Laura becomes well once again and a few years later, each sister got married and raised children of their own telling this story to their kids.
           Rosetti uses many literature terms in which has hidden messages. For example Lizzie tells Laura "we must not look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits( 42-42). This line means the goblins that they are passing by are like devils who sell forbidden items in the black market. These goblins lure in young girls and sell them unnecessary things so they can come back for more. In line 126 and 127, she (Laura) clipp'd a precious golden lock. and she dropp'd a tear more rare than pearl." Laura clips her precious golden hair which symbolizes her precious virginity. Lizzie tells Laura not to even look at the men or she will become tempted into their mischievous traps. "Fruits which that unknown orchard bore," these fruits are the mysterious temptations that Laura lusts for. Although Lizzie tells Laura not to get involved with the goblin men but Laura cannot help but return to the fruits that calls out for her. In lines 466-471 Lizzie tells Laura "come hug me, kiss me, suck my juices, eat me, drink me, and love me." These lines represents what Laura lusts for throughtout the poem. She craves for love and affection for which her sister can only give her. No goblin men nor fruits can satisfy Laura's mind and body.

            The archetypes in this poem are the goblins, Lizzie, and Laura. The Goblins are identified as an archetype because they are viewed as evil sins where Laura is human and cannot resist herself from her flaws. Everyone is not purely good and innocent because without evil there is no good. Lizzie is acknowledged as the good sin, where she helps Laura through her sinful flaws.

            This poem represents Adam and Eve where human kind faces good and evil. Christina Rossetti puts Laura to face her sins and Lizzie as the good ego. This poem tells us readers that human kind temptations are all apart of life and resistance is an important factor to maintain while facing difficult situations.
