netflix and chill?

Lady Macbeth:


Revenge: Revenge is a drama series that revolves around Emily Thorne, who just moved to the Hamptons, next door to the Grayson's, a very wealthy family. Except her new house is actually her childhood home and her real name is Amanda Clarke. Amanda's father was framed by the Grayson's for treason, and was murdered in prison. This show focuses on Amanda's (or Emily's) plot to destroy any and every individual who played a role in her fathers imprisonment. I strongly believe that Lady Macbeth would watch revenge because she would relate to not only a small piece of the revenge plot but mainly to the main character Amanda. Amanda is a bad ass and reminds me a lot of Lady Macbeth as they are both determined and strong minded people. Like Amanda Lady Macbeth isn't afraid to shed some blood to gain power over other individuals and be in control. By watching this show Lady Macbeth would also learn more about herself and maybe develop a more prominent desire for revenge of her own.


Hercules:
Hercules is a movie based around a son of gods, who was snatched as a baby by Hades and forced to live among mortals as a half-man, half-god. Now as a teenager, Hercules needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Olympus. With the help of Phil, a trainer of gods coming out of retirement, Hercules must learn how to use his strength to defeat a series of evil creatures. Along the way he meets Meg, a critic on love and believes that all men are pigs. Long story short he changes her mind and they end up falling in love. I believe that Lady Macbeth would watch this because it shows the journey of a hero and she is determined to gain power like Hercules does in the end. Also she can relate to the character Meg, not only because she is somewhat of a feminist, but also because of the different shifts in character that Meg and Lady Macbeth both face. As Lady Macbeth starts off persuasive and power hungry but then becomes softer and guilty of her past actions. This story also relates to the theme of the supernatural in Macbeth, that might make Lady Macbeth want to watch.


Scandal: Scandal is a drama series that revolves around Olivia Pope who is a professional 'fixer' who makes problems go away before anyone even knows they exist. The show consists of that and her endeavors and scandals involving the White House and the President. I believe that Lady Macbeth would watch this show because Olivia Pope is manipulating and persuasive of the President, as Lady Macbeth has been shown to be over Macbeth. She may even learn tactics and ideas by watching this show.


Gossip Girl: Gossip Girl is a tv series about the lives of teenagers living in the upper east side of New York, and all of their scandals, rivalries, drama, and relationships. It goes into the drama of high school, and the real world, showing how cruel people can be. Lady Macbeth would watch this because it reflects the structure of her kingdom, and all of the inner works, and scandals going on within the castle, mostly revolving around her and Macbeth.
