1. The Walking Dead - This TV show is about a group of people who are trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic United States that has been overrun by zombies. There is a lot of death and murder due to zombie attacks and clashes with other survivors in this television show. Macbeth would enjoy this because he would be able to relate to one of the main characters in the show, Rick Grimes. This character goes through a lot of changes throughout the show because he starts out as a noble police officer and slowly changes into a more corrupted person throughout the show. Rick Grimes is forced to do whatever he can to protect his family, even if that includes murder, and he also begins to suffer from hallucinations and paranoia. This is very similar to the issues that Macbeth encounters once his is king and begins murdering people due to paranoia. Rick Grimes changes throughout the story also are reflective of the changes that Macbeth undergo by going from a noble warrior to a corrupted tyrant.
2. Game of Thrones - This TV show is about many different people and families living in a fictional medieval world. This story is full of corruption, betrayal, murder and tragedy. Game of Thrones involves many people struggling to gain a position of power and doing whatever it takes to get there and retain that spot. This would be enjoyed by Macbeth because he knows what it is like to have to murder to get a position of power, and he would be able to relate to the emotional struggles that some of the characters go through when they commit terrible deeds. Many of the characters suffer in the same way the Macbeth does from not being able to "wash the blood from their hands."
3. Castaway - The movie is about a man who works for FedEx that ends up deserted on an island after his plane crashed into the ocean, which was making a FedEx shipment. He ends up befriending a volleyball and naming it Wilson, while his survives on the island by himself for years. Macbeth would enjoy this because by watching this movie he would be able to relate to the main character as he becomes insane. It could possibly help Macbeth to feel better about himself because he would be able to say, "At least I'm not as crazy as that guy talking to the volleyball."
4. Shudder Island - This movie is about a man who is investigating an island that acts as an insane asylum for many dangerous people. There are a lot of strange things going on in the island and even escaped prisoners. The main character finds many issues on the island, but he arrives onto a major problem. Who is he really investigating? This would be enjoyed by Macbeth because he would understand the issues that many of the characters are going through in the movie. Also, he would be able to relate to the main character because of his fall at the end of the movie due to a surprising twist. just like how Macbeth thought he was immune to Macduff, but then found out he was born through a c-section and that he was not actually of woman born.
