Macbeth Presentation Reflection

     The section of the story i presented is act 4.2 and 4.3. In the section lady Macduff finds out Macduff has left and doesn't know why. She then is met my hit men hired by Macbeth to kill Macduffs family. Macduff decides he need to kill Mcduff's family because the witches told him how to keep his power and he believed that my killing macduffs son he would be unstoppable. The question How far is one willing to  "go" to get what they desire most is shown when Macbeth hires a hit men to kill macduffs family. This insures his power in not in jeopardy.  "Each corporal agent to this terrible feat away, and mock the time with fairest show" (I,Vii, 89-90) are words of Macbeth explaining how he know it was wrong to kill Duncan but was willing to kill him in order to get what he desired most.The section also shows Macbeth being corrupted by power. In the beginning of the story Macbeth a noble soldier but now that he has received the crow and power, he will stop at nothing to keep it even if he has to harm another.
    
While working on this project i learned that working on a project can be both difficult and rewarding. My group had a difficult time agreeing on ideas, but more than anything planning times to work on our project. I found it was difficult having three active people in a group, as there were very few days that we were all free. Towards the end of the project i found the easiest way to work around this project was to assign different work to different people. This helped us get work done without the company of my group members.
     Overall, something important i have learned by doing this project is that it is very important to listen and consider all ideas by your other group members. By not taking their ideas into consideration your take away their voice int he project and they may not share their future ideas.
     Something that i notices i need to work on is staying patient even when someone doesn't go the way you planned. This is because by getting annoyed and frustrated your work in not the highest quality and it is less fun for you and your group members.
     Overall i am proud of my group ability to work through our original problems and produce what i think is a good final product. If i had to divide a pie of the work of my group i would say Jake and me did 30% each and Emma did 40 % because she had to arrange all the pictures into a video.
