Reviews For: I write to thee, Macbeth

Aneliz Rei 2006-06-25 ch 1,	Know that I approached this with an extremely critical eye. I thought this was EXTREMELY well done, and rather an accurate depiction of what the queen might have felt. Also I liked that the letter was written in verse. Finally, you managed to use the "thys" "thous" "'twas" etc. without sounding constricted or forced. As for criticisms, well, I said I approached this with a critical eye, so there are several small things I might suggest. "Thee hath visited the Weird Sisters again I expect / Thee listens more to them than to thy forgotten wife." This seems out of character with the rest of the peice -- she was hardly the voice of reason in their partnership, but the second line implies that she might have somehow convinced her husband to not kill king when, in fact, she did the opposite. "Although thee hath done foul deeds, ‘tis I who is to blame." Changing this line to, "For though thee hath done fould deeds..." makes the transition easier. "Perhaps mine death can right it all, I know not." It doesn't seem to me that the queen would commit suicide to right anything -- after all, she aknowledges there is no redemption for her. I think its more of the coward's way out, don't you think? (2) A couple of grammer things. "If it were not for I, thy evil would not be astir and reeking havoc." Though it is pronounced "reek" in this case, its actually spelled "wreak". So it should be "wreaking havoc" (said "reeking havoc"). "I seeked to share mine might with thee," Seeked is not a word; should be changed to "sought". But for all that, again, job very well done and Kudos. I don't even like MacBeth :)
ShadowNemesis 2005-04-14 ch 1,	Wow, this is very good. You must be very talented to be able to write in that language, and still make it sound so beautifully crafted! Keep it up! -ShadowNemesis
Getuie 2005-03-11 ch 1,	I found this interesting. The language itself must've been a challenge to use... and it brings a thoughtful perspective on Lady Macbeth. There was one moment where I thought to myself 'had she forgotten that she was in it as well?' but then you tied that loose string so brilliantly in the end. Truly well done.
Globule 2005-03-10 ch 1,	I really like your writing. it's very descriptive.
Tyanna 2005-03-10 ch 1,	it is good...you got the prose right, and it is an easy read. I don't acutally agree with you opinion though. Lady Macbeth was no innocent in that play...actually...I don't think Macbeth wouldn't have done any of it if not for her insistance... anyway...I like it, except for that :)
