A Scene that made me uneasy

   Personally I thought Macbeth was a amazing play and although some of the scenes and settings may have been violent and cruel, for most of them I felt it suited the circumstances of the play and having a violent setting was what made it memorable. However, one the scenes I felt that took it over the top was the scene where Lady Macduff and her child is killed. This was the worst for me because these people did nothing to harm Macbeth yet they were still brutally killed. On top of the the play goes on to explain how the child died trying to warn his mother about the oncoming murders. 

The circumstances of this scene were very grim but perhaps what made it worse for me was the setting in which it happened. They were both killed in their castle which is terrible. Imagine being raised up in the place in which you are killed, having murders breach your gates and kill you in your own castle gives the scene more of an eerie feel. This setting also tells me how brutally they were killed, these people could have been killed anywhere but Shakespeare chose their castle because it is a complete breach of someones rights and adds unease to the scene
