Kill The King Lady Macbeth
393 words
We are sympathetic towards MacBeth for various
reasons. Reasons like that he never wanted to kill
Duncan and the witches predictions were to
tempting. Or that his wife almost shamed into
doing it to prove to her that he was a man. After
hearing those reasons you cannot forget about the
pressure he received from Lady MacBeth's degrading
insults. If we look at the first reason for
sympathy towards MacBeth it shows you that MacBeth
was a little interested in what the witches were
saying. But MacBet...

hesitates because of both pragmatic and moral

assassinate the king, Duncan, that he better do it
soon. The first line of Act I, scene 7 begins

Macbeth The Breakdown Of Character
1,236 words
The two main characters in Shakespeare's play,
Macbeth, are Macbeth himself and his wife Lady
Macbeth. Their marriage seems to be mainly one of
convenience for Lady Macbeth, but for Macbeth it
is clearly more than that. He loves his wife, and
she takes advantage of that for her own gain. She
is continuously making him feel guilty, for being
weak, and for not being able to give her a child,
as is suggested by her words, "I have given suck
and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that
milks me." ...

the main character in William Shakespeare's play
of the same title is very ambitious. There can be

for the purpose of gaining authority and other
rewards. This is further illustrated by his
gracious acceptance of credit for his deeds. He is

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare there
are many forces that lead to the downfall of the
lead character, Macbeth. The most dominant one,
prophecy is introduced at the very beginning. If

the prophecy. The prophecy is always on Macbeth's

Macbeth Was Murdered by His Flaws Macbeth s lack
of will power and his great ambitions led him down
the road of a tragic figure. At first, Macbeth and
nobility were synonymous terms. This was shown
when Duncan spoke of Macbeth to the captain. Words
one heard of Macbeth floated into one ear and out
the other and left a stamp of grandeur associated
with his name. Macbeth s reputation soon earned
him the position of Thane of Candor. This carried
Macbeth to the top of his mountain that he was

Macbeth s Ambition Political ambition undermines
man s loyalty. In the play, Macbeth decides to
kill his king because of his ambition for
position. At the beginning of the play, he
portrays himself as a noble person. He fights in
the battle against Norway and proves his loyalty;
however, as soon as the witches prophesied that
Macbeth shall be king hereafter (1. 3. 53), he is
not longer trustworthy. Ambition for power starts
creeping into his head. After Macbeth s internal

Great Birnam Wood High Dunsinane Hill

Banquo s warning to Macbeth was one of great
wisdom. It reflected his rationalism, when the
situation could have over-excited a lesser man.
Unfortunately, the evil that was embedded in
witches words was cloaked by their accordance with
Macbeth s innate desires. His becoming Thane of
Cawdor, as the witches said, served as a
collateral for belief, and hence Banquo s warning
fell on ears of dismissal to all but words of
imperial progression. However true Banquo s words,
they could not prevent the t...
