Funeral Blues-Compskills
This poem describes the mourning that follows the death of a loved one. It tells of stopping clocks, silencing phones and pianos, and bringing out the coffin for the mourner's arrival. Aeroplanes circle overhead mourning, writing in the sky that "he is dead." Doves are adorned with black bows and traffic police wear black gloves. The speaker describes the deceased as their north, south, east, and west, as well as their week and rest. They thought their love would last forever but were wrong. The stars, moon, ocean and woods should be put away as nothing can ever be good again.
Funeral blues
Funeral Blues
By W. H Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Banquo begins to suspect Macbeth, fueling Macbeth's plan to kill both Banquo and his son Fleance. After the murderers report that Banquo is dead but Fleance escaped, Macbeth hosts a dinner where he sees Banquo's ghost, driving him into a frenzied fit before his guests. Macbeth resolves to have Macduff killed next to fulfill the witches' prophecy at the cost of more bloodshed and loss of his humanity.
Macbeth a3 s2 or3
This document provides teaching materials for Act 3, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It includes objectives, a starter discussion, roles for a readers' theatre performance of the scene, analysis questions, and a homework assignment creating "gingerbread man" images of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to depict their inner and outer qualities.
Approaching the question
Shakespeare presents the changing relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth over the course of the play. In this scene, Lady Macbeth challenges Macbeth's masculinity and questions his courage when he appears frightened by visions. She sees his fear as not genuine. Their relationship grows more distrustful and uneasy as Macbeth becomes increasingly isolated. By the end of the play, Lady Macbeth sleepwalks in madness while Macbeth shows no grief over her death, demonstrating the deterioration of their relationship.
Lady mac choices
Lady Macbeth manipulates and persuades Macbeth to commit regicide. She believes he lacks the courage and ambition for the crown. In her soliloquy, she plans to pour her "spirits" into his ear and challenge his reasons for not killing the king. When Macbeth hesitates, Lady Macbeth mocks his lack of courage. She declares she would commit any act, even killing her own child, if sworn to do so. Lady Macbeth is atypical for the time in her power over her husband and masculine ambition and manipulation, going against social norms.

Sleepwalking scene by fatima alsaiari
Lady Macbeth's madness is on full display in the famous sleepwalking scene from Macbeth. The doctor and gentlewoman watch in shock as Lady Macbeth sleepwalks through the palace, reliving her role in the murders and trying in vain to wash imagined blood from her hands, showing how guilt has completely eroded her mind.
Act 5 of macbeth
Act 5 of Macbeth sees the downfall and deaths of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. Lady Macbeth's guilt over their crimes drives her to insomnia and eventually suicide. Bereft of his wife's counsel and support, Macbeth's kingdom continues to crumble as Malcolm's rebellion grows stronger. Macduff confronts and kills Macbeth, fulfilling the witches' prophecy. The play ends with Malcolm assuming the throne as the rightful king is restored.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
