Analysis Of William Shakespeare 's ' Macbeth '

Act 1 of Macbeth is all about how lady macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill King Duncan. It is through her persuasive words and cunning plan that Macbeth is eventually convinced to kill the King. The song that best fits act 1 for macbeth is “Alcohol” by the Kinks. The song talks about how alcohol; which I relate to lady macbeth, is a deadly poison that overtime controls and turns the victim into something they are not. In the beginning of the play macbeth was a “winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position”,(kinks) but as the play goes on he is perssured by lady macbeth to go through with her plan. Lady Macbeth tells macbeth that she “do[es] fear thy nature; It is too full of the milk of human kindness.”(Shakespeare 1.7.19-22) This makes macbeth feel as if he is not “manly” enough to go through with the killing king duncan, thus pushing him closer to committing the crime.

the witch's words. In a way Macbeth is acting as if he has known the

This sort of behaviour is to be expected from Lord Capulet, because he feels he has done an excellent job in securing his daughter’s future with a perfect husband, and now Juliet is throwing his best efforts in his face. He highlights how hard he has worked in finding an

The Montagues had requested to speak with The Capulets to resolve the entire feud. The two families meet in the centre of the square, like a battle about to take place however it was the opposite. “Lord and Lady Capulet.” The Montagues address the Capulets. “We meet again.” Lady Montague and Capulet lift up their long, heavy dresses to reveal their shoes. “I’ve requested this meeting to discuss our past...problems, if you will.” Lady Capulet slowly nods her head in agreement. “I believe that the tragic, sudden and confusing death of our children should be a huge wake up call for us. A wake up call to stop being irrational and end the whole feud.” The Friar walks up to Lady Montague. “It wasn’t really a confusing death if…” Lady Montague raises her index finger in his face to shush him. What would The Capulets

Lord Capulet’s is selfish and demanding.Lord capulet is always yelling at Juliet,which upsets Juliet he made Juliet not trust her father as much because he demanded her to marry Paris and Lord Capulet says “Hang thee young baggage,disobedient wretch.”(III,iv,26). Lord Capulet pushed Juliet away from him.Lord Capulet scheduled the marriage without asking Juliet.Lord Capulet went to Paris to ask him what date you wanted to marry Juliet.Lord Capulet says “But what say to Thursday.(III,iv,26)

Capulet shows his anger through the type of speech he uses which is called staccato. Whereas before, Capulet spoke in a poetic way using blank verse and iambic pentameter, he starts to use shorter and more abrupt sentences. His speech is now straight to the point and no longer poetic and shows his anger in the situation. He starts by imitating Juliet and then goes on to command and threaten her to get herself to the church on Thursday to get married or he will drag her there. He then insults and calls her names such as “tallow-face” and “green-sickness carrion” and even though she begs and pleads with him to listen to her and even gets down on her knees to do so, Capulet still does not relent and says she should “hang” and that if she doesn’t arrive at the church on Thursday that she should never look at him again or talk to him. He goes on to say to his wife, “my fingers itch”, which suggests that he either wants to strangle or slap Juliet, the latter would probably be seen as heartless discipline by the reader but the former could possibly result in death and would be a very serious crime. I again start to feel that Capulet is a merciless and cruel father. He goes on to say that the only child God has borrowed to them, Juliet is more of a curse than a blessing. This is a very strong statement for anyone to say and draws me nearer to the conclusion that Capulet is not a caring and loving father.

When acting as the character of Lady Capulet, two personality trait that must be considered is obedient and unreliable. When Lady Capulet tells Juliet about the arrange marriage with Paris, Juliet had a frustrated and furious respond. None of the Capulet’s knew that Juliet was already married to Romeo. Lady Capulet tells Juliet to go talk with her father. “Ay sir, but she will none, she gives you thanks. I would the fool were married to her grave” (3.5.140). In this moment, Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about Juliet response. As when it says “Ay sir, but she will none” it means that Capulet orders her to tells Juliet about Paris even if she didn’t want to. She needs to obey her husband because it is the ‘right’ thing to do even calling him

Sir Capulet, Juliet’s father, does a great job of portraying himself as the stereotypical domineering male figure in the play. He does a good job of holding his ground throughout the entire play. There is no scene when his opinion is not considered. Throughout most of the play, he refuses to listen to anyone’s comments having to do with anything - from his daughter’s feeling on marrying Paris to who should be allowed at the masquerade ball. Juliet’s father also forcefully intends to set up the marriage between his daughter Juliet and Paris, the Count and relative to the Prince of Verona. In Act III, scene 3, he tells Paris,

Even while knowing that Juliet would rather die, she wants her to marry Paris. Lady Capulet’s indifference towards the welfare of her daughter leaves Juliet alone in a time of

Capulet loves his daughter, Juliet, and wants the best for her. But, this has led him to arrange a marriage for her with a man she doesn't love. Although

Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Essay Mr. Capulet is the father that anyone would love to have. Capulet is a caring father because he wants the best for others. He cares more about his family than himself. Mr. Capulet has a great loving relationship with his daughter, Juliet. He is like my dad because he cares about me, even more than himself and wants the best for my future and me but won’t go to the extreme of choosing my life for me.

All decisions are made for her, often without any consultation with Juliet and her freedom is extremely restricted. An excellent example of Capulet’s forcefulness can be

First of all, from the moment Paris is mentioned, a bad vibe echoes off of his words. Oblivious to the fact that Lord Capulet is not ready for his daughter to be married

/ Is she not proud? … get thee to church o’ Thursday, / Or never after look me in the face. / Speak not; reply not;” (3.5.147-169). The question “Doth she not give us thanks?” shows how confused Capulet is because of the secrets that Juliet has been keeping, and that the miscommunication between them lead to him being unable to grasp the motivations behind her actions which hurts their relationship.

Lady Macbeth is a very intriguing character throughout the play. She is not the typically old fashioned wife and I expected for this type of play. Soon after she is introduced she displays
