 StefaniaB 7/23/06 . chapter 1I heartily applaud you for this tale, which answers the question, "What if Tolkien wrote a fanfiction gap filer for MacBeth?" But seriously, I so enjoyed how you fleshed out this beloved sequence in MacBeth by describing Birnam Wood as though it were the last hoary remnants of Tolkien's Old Forest. I loved how you populated it not only with a sympathetic ent (Treebeard?) but also one of the weird sisters on her way to the heath.
Now your next step, Inkling, should be a gap filler for the entire MacBeth play. And don't feel like you're plagiarizing. Remember that Akira Kurosawa plagiarized MacBeth 50 years ago, with "Throne of Blood."
Very, very good job. |
