Courage In Macbeth

While Macduff is in England, Macbeth learns of the abandonment of Macduff's family and resolves to have them murdered. When Macduff learns of the murder of his family, he is motivated by Malcolm to get revenge. It is this that pushes Macduff to the edge and forces him to go after Macbeth himself. The power of Malcolm's taunting that he must take it like a man and his own love for his family makes him hate Macbeth to the fullest extent, and eventually he succeeds in killing him.

Macduff's ambition in this play was to be loyal to his country by taking out Macbeth. Too much of his time is spent plotting against Macbeth, which throws off Macduff’s values. He abandons his family and left for England to find Malcolm so he could wage war against Macbeth. Later, Macbeth hears that the recent absence of Macduff at the banquet and at Duncan’s funeral was because he had fled to England, to find Malcolm. So Macbeth reacts to this by sending murderers to kill Macduff's family. Once Macduff finds out that his family is dead, he starts to exhibit some emotion. At this time he is about to wage war on Macbeth with Malcolm; Malcolm say's to Macduff "Dispute it like a man"(4.3.259). Macduff then replies,

The tragedy Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, follows the rise and fall of a loyal Scottish warrior. Macbeth is portrayed as a man of multiple sides, presenting three main traits – bravery, ambition, and self-doubt – throughout the play. The character is an example of how ambition and guilt can have terrible effects on an individual lacking in strength of character. Although some people may perceive Macbeth as malicious, his weak character shows that he is incapable of conquering guilt and self-doubt. The prime themes of the play are: ambition, loyalty and betrayal, good and evil, appearance versus reality, supernatural and fate. Shakespeare presents these themes through the actions of Macbeth and their results: the corrupting effects

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth the reader watches as Macbeth changes gradually as the play endures. He are transforms from a loyal person with a loving and loyal disposition with other people, into a tyrants who are willing to kill in order to keep himself on the throne. He is tormented with fear, regret, and guilt. When someone does something they know is wrong it causes them to fall prey to their own emotions.

In Acts 1 and 2, Shakespeare presents Macbeth as brave by the way that others describe him. Before the entrance of Macbeth onto the stage, the audience learns how brave Macbeth has just been on the battlefield in honour of his king.

It takes both the audience’s pity and fear to make a tragic and heroic character become a tragic hero. Macbeth earns both. The audience can fear Macbeth because they know that he is capable of murder. He lacks the ability to stand up to Lady Macbeth when he knows something is not morally right and that is frightening, but even after all the pain and suffering of other characters the audience

Macbeth’s unfettered lust for power led to his biggest detriment, the transformation into a man living in fear who cannot possibly escape this continuous cycle of trepidation. Though Macbeth may hide these fears behind a strong exterior throughout the play, it remains a primary emotion and potent motivating force in his life.

Throughout the story of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth acts in a much despised manner: he becomes a murderer and later, when king of Scotland, a tyrant. Many who have read or seen the play are left wondering how a man’s whole approach to life can change; how Macbeth turned from the hero whom all adored, to the tyrant who was hated and ended up a lone man, fighting for his life.

This exemplified the distribution of power Macbeth upheld due to his bravery. The aspect that Macbeth pursues to become the power he is, is through his willing to acquire what he needs in order to become king to present his heroism. However, this quote presented the actions he made coming out as bravery, but for the other characters, there words demonstrated their own heroic actions. As a part of Macbeth’s heroic purpose, he signifies his loyalty to the crown and King, “The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself” (1.4.22-23).

In Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Malcolm influences Macduff to evolve into a more heroic character by manipulating his emotions to having greater belligerent consequences. Macduff faces difficulties with other character’s actions early in the play, casting him as another secondary character with little contribution to the plot. The character of Macduff

Courage tends to be a characteristic man are supposed to be embedded with regardless of their position in society. The play Macbeth by Shakespeare, exhibits the reoccurring theme of manliness and courage is exhibited throughout. Macbeth’s wife and conscious challenge his manhood mentally and physically. He reacts out of anger to seem manly, but, in actuality, proves to be weak and cowardly. Macbeth mentally eats himself alive because he tries to perfect the idea of being seen as nothing less than courageous, manly, and a man of value.

Shakespeare reveals to us that Macbeth’s will is far stronger than his fate by having him not only survive the battle but become the hero of it. The beginning

In Act I, the soldier & Duncan had described Macbeth as a great & brave man, which is quite different to his personality in Act IV, when he was scheming vengeance against King Claudius & the king’s family. He remained brave, however, in the last scene he was spiteful & vengeful as he was plotting revenge against the King Claudius, who had killed his father.
