Macbeth

Mixtape

We Are The Champions

We Are The Champions

We Are the Champions by Queen

We Are the Champions by Queen

In this song Queen sings, "We are the champions, my friends, And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end. We are the champions. We are the champions. No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the world." In the beginnig of the play Macbeth, a powerful general has just returned home from war where he has defeated invading armies from Norway and Ireland. I believe this song represents a proud and victorious Macbeth. He is a war hero and a champion who is full of ambition. Even during Macbeth's worst moments he still possess these good qualities.

Promises

Promises by Wiz Khalifa

In the song, Promises, Wiz Khalifa sings, "So don’t let me down, You made those promises, Don’t take em back now, Don’t let me down." This relates to The Witches and Macbeth and the promises that are made. The Witches promise that Macbeth will be king. Also, they promise Banquo that his son will be the future heir to the throne. Macbeth promises to reward his friend Banquo when he is king. After Macbeth is dead Malcom becomes the next King of Scotland. Macbeth is insincere to Banquo and fails to keep his promise.

I Just Cant Wait to be King

I Just Cant Wait to be King by Jason Weaver, Rowan Atkinson, Lau...

I Just Cant Wait to be King by Jason Weaver, Rowan Atkinson, Laura Williams

I chose this song because Macbeth is waiting to be the King of Scotland. In the song by Jason Weaver, Rowan Atkinson, and Laura Williams they say, "I'm gonna be a mighty king, So enemies beware!" Also, the lyrics repeat, "Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't wait to be king!" Macbeth is not an evil man but he proves that he is willing to do anything to be king. His desire for power allows him to commit multiple murders. When Macbeth kills Duncan and is finally crowned king he is tormented by guilt. When he is king he worries about who will ascend the throne upon his death. Macbeth is unable to enjoy being the king due to theacts that he committed to become king.

Roar

Roar by Katy Perry

Roar by Katy Perry

In this song Katy Perry sings, "Now I'm floating like a butterfly, Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes, I went from zero, to my own hero" This song represents how Macbeth behaves once he is king. Macbeth is a tyrant who has complete power over his subjects. He is not an awful person but his craving for power and his desire to be king influence his behavior. In addition, is the complete opposite of King Duncan who was kind and beloved by the people.

My Fault

My Fault

My Fault by Imangine Dragons

My Fault by Imangine Dragons

This song illustrates Macbeth because Imagine Dragons sing,"Shaking hands run through my hair, My fears, where do I go from here? Is it my fault, is it my fault?" I chose this song because Macbeth is filled with fear and guilt after he killed Duncan in order to become king. He hires murders to kill Banquo and his son Fleance so that he will be unable be the next heir to the throne. Fleance runs away but the murders kill Banquo which leads Macbeth to feel even worse about himself. Consequently, when Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth it exemplifies his guilt for killing his friend.

Mad Hatter

In the song Melanie Martinez sings, "I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad, The craziest friend that you've ever had, You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone, Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong, Over the bend, entirely bonkers." This song relates to Macbeth because he loses his mind when he sees Banquo's bloody ghost in his chair at the banquet. Macbeth begins ranting and talking to him but he is the only one that can see the ghost. This leads the other guest to question his stability because guilt can affect a persons mental health.

Fear

Fear by X Ambassaders ft. Imagine Dragons

Fear by X Ambassaders ft. Imagine Dragons

In this song X Ambassaders sings,"God, I'm running in fear, fear, fear, God, I'm running in fear, fear, fear." It represents Macbeth as he is filled with fear and doubt because of all the people he has killed in order to become king. Also, he fears that his power remains uncertain as long as Fleance is alive. Macbeth is consumed by fear until his death.

Dark Times

Dark Times by The Weekend ft. Ed Sheeran

Dark Times by The Weekend ft. Ed Sheeran

In the song The Weekend sings, "Making those promises that I would not keep, In my dark times this is all I could be." The lyrics in this song represent Macbeth who is in deep despair when he finds out that Lady Macbeth has commited suicide. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were very fond of one another their crimes united them but also caused them grief, and sorrow. Dark times follow Macbeth throughout the play because of his violent actions.

Eye of the Tiger

Eye Of The Tiger by Surviver

Eye Of The Tiger by Surviver

In the song Eye of The Tiger, by Surviver, they sing, "It's the eye of the tiger, It's the thrill of the fight, Rising up to the challenge of our rival, And the last known survivor, Stalks his prey in the night, And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger." This relates to Macbeth because he is preparing to fight Macduff and Malcom's army. Also, when they are fighting Macbeth feels overwhelmed because Malcom's army has invaded the castle and his army. In the end Macbeth rises to the challenge and becomes the warrior that he was at the start of the play.

If I Die Young

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

In this song, The Band Perry, sings, "If I die young bury me in satin. Lay me down on a bed of roses." This relates to Macbeth as he was beheaded during a battle with Macduff. Macbeth keeps fighting even though he knows that he is doomed to die. In conclsion, Macbeth's atrocious acts caught up with him and led to an unfortunate death on the battlefield.
