"Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog.."

“Fair is foul and foul is fair.”

This is one of the many quotes of the three witches in Macbeth. The witches foreshadow what Macbeth was feeling in the play. They represent the main theme of evil In Macbeth. Due to the portrayal of witches in Macbeth, the actual curse was formed by “witches” in the audience of the first performance in 1606.

Now the curse has taken over the play itself. It is said that if you speak the name Macbeth outside of the script, it will bring bad luck and tragedies to the play. To take back the name, and reverse the bad luck, you have to go outside and spin around 3 times yelling a profane word then knock on the door of the theatre requesting permission to come back in. Other techniques include, quoting a line from Hamlet, or spitting over your shoulder.

To avoid using the name Macbeth, people have often used “The Scottish Play” to refer to to it.

There is one person who believed he released the curse of Macbeth, Kevin Carlyon is the self proclaimed High priest of the British white witches. With the help of two "witch" assistants, he is certain that he has gotten rid of the curse, but no information has been posted about recent macbeth tragedies.

Do you really think there is a curse? If you do, do you believe that Kevin Carlyon has lifted it or if he really is the "High Priest" he says he is or just a fake? Share Your Opinions!

An·drog·y·ny

Have you ever seen someone walking down the street and thought, Are they a male of female? They would be androgynous. The definition of Androgyny is "Having both female and male characteristics; hermaphroditic. 2. Being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior" (dictionary.com). More recent well known cases of this is the runner from Jamaica, Caster Semenya. She was going to have her medals taken away from her because she looked more masculine than feminine. After many tests they concluded that she was indeed a woman but they still wanted to strip her of her medals and declared that she was not to participate in competitive sports again. While being one sex, yet looking like another can be hard to live with an overcome, yet some comedians feel the need to make fun of it. Like Saturday Night Live (SNL) had an ongoing skit with a character named Pat, and it was a joke to figure out whether or not Pat was a boy or a girl. Observations have led to the discovery that more and more androgynist women are prevalent in society today.

Food for thought: do you notice that more and more women or men today look androgynous?
