William Carlos Williams meets Macbeth

 I have posted a "light" discussion due next Thursday entitled The Macbeth "This is just to say" Poem. For this post you just need to try your hand again with William Carlos Williams' poem "This is just to say," only this time write it from the perspective of one of the characters in Macbeth (Macbeth to McDuff or Lady Macbeth to Duncan are pretty obvious, but you could also use the comical porter from Act II Scene 3 toward any number of characters, including his own libido after drinking too much, for it "provokes the desires, but it takes away the performance").


This is a good precursor to the final Adaptation projects.  If you have yet to consider the assignment, realize we are nearing the halfway point of the semester.
