ACT ONE FIRST SONG: "FATE STAY WITH ME" by Alanis Morissette

REPRESENTING: Scene 3 when Macbeth, accomponied by Banquo, first encounter the three witches. i picked this song for this scene because at first Macbeth was content with the idea that fate was going to do all the work for him in advancing his life to greater fortune. in the song she says she dosent want fate to make her a queen, just a star; but if in the song you could switch Morissettes words it would make the song perfect for the scene in the sense that Macbeth is already a star and wishes now to be king with the power of fate.

ACT ONE SECOND SONG: "THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS PROOF" by Taking Back Sunday

REPRESENTING: Scene 7 when lady Macbeth is urging Macbeth to kill the king which is against Macbeths befiefs but Macbeth gives into her "instincts" and does what she says. This song would be playing during Macbeth and lady Macbeths last conversation before he kills king Duncan.

The main reason i choose this song was because one excerpt that says, "So, we're talking forever, And you almost feel better But, betters no excuse for tonight, You see, it's never been enough Just to leave all you gave up, But, its never good enough to feel right". this qoute relates to Macbeth's conversation with lady Macbeth about killing the king because once he has killed he'll be scarred "forever". Even though lady Macbeth percives feeling better once Duncan is dead, it is still no "excuse for [that] night". Also, they have to "[give] up" their nrmal lives to take their chances at being the king and queen of Scotland.

ACT TWO FIRST SONG: "HELLS BELLS" by AC/DC

REPRESENTING: Scene 2 when lady Macbeth rings the bell to signal that she has put the sedatives in Duncans body guards wine cups and that it is okay for Macbeth to go kill Duncan. I chose Hells Bells to play for this scene because lady Mabeth is ringing an acctual bell and also because i thought this scene corosponded well with the line from the song which goes, " i got my bell I'm gonna tae you to hell".

ACT TWO SECOND SONG:"MISS MURDER" by AFI

REPRESENTING: Scene 4 when Macduff anounces who's being accused for Duncans murder. i picked "Miss Murder" to play during this scene specifically because of the excerpt "dreams of his crash, wont pass, and how they all adored him[.
