Macbeth [aside]
Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see your black and deep desires
I notice a theme of evil in this quote as it used the words fire and deep. I also think that in a way it is hiding something. He is hiding a part, maybe an imperfect quality, of himself.
When it say deep desires it’s telling them to hide their deep and dark feelings.
Macbeth loves his wife as he spends time writing a letter to her. I also think this as he say that she is his “…dearest partner of greatness”. He also says farewell to her which means that he cares for her.
Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.
Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.
Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.
If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.
Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
