I 'Gin to Be Aweary O't'sun
Can I just say that I knew NOTHING last fall when I thought being a tiger was hard work? Because being a 3-legged tiger is so much more difficult I'm not sure it's even quantifiable. David, the director (and animal class instructor from last semester), said that it was interesting because it aged me instantly. And it also made me vulnerable.
Which was true. We spent some time exploring our characters' relationships while in our animals, and I had to depend on others to keep me safe from Macbeth. (I'm playing Duncan, and I know John is going to have some horrible bruises tomorrow in the shape of my teeth. I bit him hard in several places.) And I suddenly wondered if naming Malcom heir and Prince of Cumberland is partly a response to Cawdor's treachery.
Clearly I'm no judge of character, so another layer between the throne and other aspirants is a good idea. I'd never thought of it as a political choice, only as a choice made by a proud man who loves his son and thinks everyone else will understand. I had never given Duncan any points for shrewdness.
