You have a major english assesment on turning macbeth into a modern story but im not good with stories of gangs and all you need something thats good youve thought tv show merlin though thats old HELP?

Answer 1

Though I personally have not seen or read Macbeth, I may be able to help you finish your homework. Try listing all the major events in the story, but not as pertaining to the characters. Here, I'll give you an example, using the well-known story of Harry Potter as a test subject.

Event 1: Child's parents are killed, and the kid is sent to live with their very nasty aunt, uncle, and cousin.

Event 2: Child grows up neglected and bullied, living under the stairs.

Event 3: Child recieves letters from a magical school, and learns that they are a witch/wizard.

Alright, there's the basic beginning plot. Now, let's turn it into a similar story for a different character.

Event 1: Bob's parents were killed when he was a baby, so he now lives with his nasty aunt, uncle, and cousin.

Event 2: Bob grew up rather neglected, and bullied by his surviving family. They even made him sleep under the stairs!

Event 3: Bob recieves a mysterious letter saying that he is enrolled in a school of magic, and remarks that this story is rather like Harry Potter!

See? It's not that hard after all! Now, go forth and re-write some Shakespeare! Good luck.

Answer 2

To modernize Macbeth in a way that relates to a TV show like Merlin, you could set the story in a mystical realm where rival magical factions vie for power. Macbeth could be a powerful sorcerer seeking to usurp the throne from a benevolent ruler, drawing inspiration from the themes of ambition and betrayal in the original play. Incorporating elements of magic, intrigue, and morality dilemmas from Merlin could create a unique and captivating modern adaptation of Macbeth.
