Netflix Que
The Arrow(Masculinity)
The plot of the Arrow is the story of a man who ship wrecked and was stranded on a Japanese Island for five years. His father survived the shipwreck also but late committed suicide so his son would have enough food to survive. His fathers final request was that his son would survive and return home to fix his faults. While on this island Oliver the main character met an Australian Army man who trained him to survive on the island and fight the threats that the island brought to him before he could return home because the island held many secrets that brought many dangerous people to the island. Once he returns home Oliver uses his newly skills to rewrite his fathers wrong doing. Oliver views what he is doing as very masculine because he is fixing his father's wrong doings as well as saving the city he calls home. This would be in Macbeth's Netflix que because Macbeth later in his plot has a strong focus on his masculinity and how needs to be perceived as an honorable man because he has now obtained all of this power. Macbeth and Oliver also relate very well because they both are trying to be honorable men but they both hide the secret of committing murder from the ones closest to them. The struggle that Oliver faces to cope with the new power he has in the city and how he has to portray being masculine to those around him. Macbeth is very similar because he began to go insane but he has to portray himself as masculine to the people he rules.
The Flash(Supernatural)
The Flash is about a city where a partial accelerator explodes and it cause some supernatural changes to many of the citizens within the city. The main character of the show Barry Allen is changed by the explosion and given the power of super speed. Barry's mother was killed when he was young and she was killed by another speedster. The man that saves Barry from his coma he was in after the explosion turned out to be his competition. The man that killed his mother. Before Barry found out about Dr. Wells being his mom's murder Dr. Wells became Barry's best friend and mentor. Their relationship is much like the one between Macbeth and Banquo. Macbeth and Banquo were good friends just like Barry and Dr. Wells. Both Barry and Macbeth have to eliminate their friends to move on in their lives. The relation between the murders committed by Barry and Macbeth is the connection of the supernatural. Macbeth received the three apparitions from the Witches. These apparitions fueled Macbeth's plot to have his best friend killed so he would not have competition for the throne. The supernatural was also the fuel behind Barry's desire to find his mother's murder and it was responsible for him getting his powers. Also Dr. Wells is not actually Dr. Wells. It is a speedster from the future who is posing as Dr. Wells and he used the supernatural forces to travel through time. The influence the super natural has on the life of Barry is why Macbeth would have this show in his que because he can relate to it so easily because the supernal has a big influence on his life.
Once Upon A Time(Appearance vs. Reality)
Once Upon A Time is a show where there is an alternate would where all the fairy tale characters live. That world has a connection with our world. All the characters are trapped in our world because the Queen put an evil curse on everyone so no one can remember their past except for the Queen. The characters that are trapped find out that they are actually fairy tale characters trapped on our earth. They have to appear to be normal humans on earth. In reality they are actually fairy tale characters that need to return home. This is much like Macbeth because Macbeth has to appear to be a honorable man and king to his subjects. However no one knows his secret that in reality he is a murder and he has killed Duncan and had his best friend Banquo murdered to ensure that he would become the Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth would enjoy this show because he can relate to the fairy tale characters that have to appear as normal humans but in reality they live a different life as fairy tale characters and Macbeth lives a life of a murderer but has to appear as an honorable king.
House of Cards(Ambition)
Macbeth and Frank are very related in with their ambition for power. Frank often mentions that desires power more than money. Macbeth has a large desire for power over other possessions in life. Macbeth and Frank are similar in their desire for power because it controls much of their life. They want power more than they want anything else in their life. They both also don't like people who do not desire power more than other possessions. The two also relate in how they are willing do anything it takes to gain the power they so greatly desire. Whether that means being deceiving or killing those who get in their way. Macbeth would really enjoy this show because him and Frank are almost identical in their desire for power and how they will not let anything get in their way till they obtain that power.
