Let not light see my black and deep desires.” Ms. Damlos has emphasized how important this line was in Macbeth. A perfect example of this would be how right now I’m at Mcfetridge Skate Center, waiting for my sister to finish tennis practice, and these boys won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball back and forth that keeps hitting me. My deep and black desire right now is to tell the boys to shut up and take their stupid tennis ball and throw it out the door into the street. Coincidently, while I was typing that the tennis ball hit me in the head. While I am irritated by these kids, I hope that the other parents waiting by the concession stand don’t notice the look I probably have on my face because I don’t want to seem mean. Well now the boys have moved towards the skating rink and I can barely here the bounce of the ball so now “my black and deep desires” are gone. While that was a really simple example of that line it did apply and after thinking about the line since class I understand why it would be so predominant in the literary world. We all have “black and deep desires” that we don’t wan “the light” or people to see or find out. We all have things that we shouldn’t want or have, but do. And we all say and definitely think things that we probably shouldn’t. But this line about deep and black desires hopefully being concealed by the light applies not only to literature, but also to everyday life, even in today’s world.

I really liked how you related Macbeth to your own life. I liked how you said that at that moment, you actually got hit with the tennis ball. It made your blog more realistic. Good job :)

Wow that was really deep, for some reason I could totally imagine you sitting there waiting for your sister with that look on your face. I think you related that line from Macbeth to your real life perfectly and I love your interpretation of it.
