It's a little different for a guy to kill the queen so it's not too Macbethish. I like the use of variations of 'realise'. Nice sentence...<br />A few points though: Would he return from fallen grace if he was crazy? Would anyone except an insane person in their society? Would he be trusted not to do it again?<br />Tragedy is one of many spices of life and people love to hear it: Drama sells.Terreur Nocturnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771657576031965260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636684364171689598.post-81742722030960233392010-04-10T00:51:23.290-07:002010-04-10T00:51:23.290-07:00Well, I could go closer to Macbeth and the King co...Well, I could go closer to Macbeth and the King could be corrupt, crazy, but doesn't know it. And he is so sure of himself that he can prove it to the city, and he kills the Queen (secretly), and then realises that it was him, a realisation.<br /><br />Is that too much of a tragedy? Or too Macbeth-like?Ryan Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093880801598251933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636684364171689598.post-71496673082809094392010-04-10T00:13:15.463-07:002010-04-10T00:13:15.463-07:00It's interesting but does the queen have to do...It's interesting but does the queen have to do something evil? I've never even met the woman but for some reason I already see her as nice... Maybe the King could make a mistake (we are human), such as some kind of mortal sin (if his religion is somilar to Christianity). Then again, it is always your story, so you must decide.Terreur Nocturnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771657576031965260noreply@blogger.com
