Micbeth

My son, Kynon, is 7 years old and is reading a simplified version of Macbeth for his English curriculum. He's already memorized the "Tomorrow" speech, and liked Patrick Stewart's recitation of it. It's fair to say that he's intrigued by a good story. So here I have a couple of interpretations by the little guy from the Bard's play. The first was dictated to his mother; the second are written by him.



In the beginning there was a war. The sergeant is bleeding from being whacked by a sword. The Thane of Cawdor was a traitor. He joined the Norway team. Macbeth is walking someplace and the witches are in their way doing a spell. "Speak," says Macbeth. The [witches] say hi to Macbeth. Then they continue with their spell. They tell him he is going to be Thane of Cawdor and king.

Micbett lies about thinking about the whiches. Micbeth has a visit from the king. Micbeth leaves the table because hes worried Micbeth sees his bagger [dagger] in the air.

What can I say? I'm proud of my boy.
