Vaulting Ambition Mac Beths
696 words
The thematic importance of ambition is revealed
throughout MacBeth in a manner that is not always
instantly visually evident to a conscientious
reader. Although it is responsible for MacBeth s
rise to power, his vaulting ambition is also to
blame for MacBeth s tragic downfall. MacBeth would
not have been able to achieve his power as King of
Scotland, or have been able to carry out his evil
deeds, if it was not for his ambition. In these
instances, ambition helped MacBeth achieve his
goals to a c...

aware of the consequences in forethought to this
deed. E. A. J. Honigmann rebuffs this idea. After
much thought and research on the thought processes
and circumstances regarding King Duncan? s murder
by the Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth, he tends to
believe that Macbeth fell victim to outside forces
and influences with which he could not compete.

1,159 words
William Shakespeare wrote many fantastic plays and
Macbeth is no exception. Part of the reason why
his plays were loved in Elizabethan times as well
as today is because they are true to life. The

Shakespeare uses is the theme of moral reversal.
Morals are essentially the backbone of an
individuals being. A persons morals will shape the
