a non-stop action thriller with more blood than
ever seen before in most plays. The play was made
that way for a specific reason, so William

Macbeth In this play Macbeth portrays a man in
position doing the usual, searching for more
power. Macbeth is a young prosperous, ambitious
man that is out to fulfill a prophecy. Maybe he is
a little too ambitious. At first he wasnt the
murderous type. His wife Lady Macbeth was pretty
much behind the whole thing. She convinced him
that he should kill King Duncan so he could claim
the throne. It might be his character but it

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Lady
Macbeth unconsciously uses Macbeth and others as a
shield for guilt. When she wants something but
doesnt have the guts to perform the task herself,
she calls upon anyone but herself to do it. She
thinks that this will erase her conscience of any
guilt it has on it, but the shield is faulty. The
first and most obvious of all places where this
shield is placed is in the first two acts where
Lady Macbeth is trying to convince her husband to
