William Shakespeare`s Macbeth tells audience a play of murders and sleepless nights. Macbeth is the thane of Glamis and a mighty general of Scotland. Macbeth is predicted to be the king of Scotland. However, the King of Scotland,King Duncan, is alive and is a good king to not to be murder by his people. Macbeth kills King Duncan and he becomes king with the fear of everyone killing him. Therefore, he kills anyone that is suspect to kill him. Macbeth becomes progressively more evil as the play continues.

Macbeth is a heroic character at the beginning of this play "unseaming men from the nave to the chops." He has much potential as a warrior, and has great love and respect for his country. Coming back from battle one day, he is greeted by three witches, who are known to have great and terrible powers to foresee the future. They meet him with predictions when they greet him as

Macbeth is of a brave and capable warrior initially the first time that we see him. However, once we see Macbeth and the three witches together, we begin to realize that his physical courage is joined by a consuming mind boggling ambition and a tendency to self-doubt. The crusade’s mission is to place the rightful king, Malcolm, on the throne, but Macduff also desires vengeance for Macbeth’s murder of Macduff’s wife and young son. Macbeth is easily tempted into murder to fulfill his ambitions to the throne. Once he commits his first crime and is crowned King of Scotland. When Macduff finds out that Macbeth killed Duncan he plans to kill Macbeth and take his head to Malcolm. Banquo helped Duncan to claim victory over Norway and to become the Thane of Cawdor. They all are loyal to Duncan at some point, although Macduff and Banquo are doing the right things for Duncan, Macbeth is thinking of himself and is doing things so he will be the new King of Scotland. Macbeth is the play’s villain because he is betraying Duncan and trying to hide everything so he will be king.

Shakespeare effectively focuses on the cynical repercussions of ambition in 'Macbeth' and how it can lead to one's failure. Macbeth is shown as a wellborn protagonist after being regarded as "Noble Macbeth" by the King of Scotland, King Duncan after slaying the Thane of Cawdor and winning

Coincidentally, Duncan, honoring the hero, decides to stay at Macbeth’s castle overnight. Lady Macbeth believes that this is a perfect opportunity given by fate to kill Duncan and usurp his power. Exhibiting extreme ambition and masculinity, Lady Macbeth orchestrates the entire scheme and persuades her husband into committing evil deeds, chiding him for behaving like a feminine and coward. Macbeth eventually yields to his wife’s pressure and manipulation. After the murder is discovered, Malcolm and Donalbain, Duncan’s sons, flee to England and Ireland, respectively, while Macbeth assumes a dictatorial sovereignty of Scotland. Macbeth, however, becomes insecure about his power, for the witches have prophesied that Banquo’s descendants will be kings and Macduff, another Scottish nobleman in England, may threaten him. Hence, the vicious tyrant assassinates Banquo and Macduff’s family. As a result, Macduff, with aids from Malcolm and England, vows to retaliate against Macbeth. Meanwhile, Lady Macbeth is greatly agonized by guilt, sleepwalking, rubbing her hands as if trying to wash away the bloodstains, and finally committing suicide. The downfall of Macbeth immediately succeeds when the English army invades his castle and is marked by Macduff outplaying Macbeth in a fierce

“Macbeth” a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, portrays, how the main character Macbeth, transforms from a war hero, to a murdering villain. Macbeth starts out as the thane of Glamis and steadily rises to become King of Scotland. The higher Macbeth rose on his road of power the more corrupt and evil he became. The character change of Macbeth ignites the whole theme of the play.

Macduff suspects Macbeth of his crimes and wishes to battle him. Macbeth gets another prophecy that tells him three things. The first thing is that he should be extra cautious of Macduff. The second is that nobody born of a woman can bring harm to him, and thirdly a crowned boy holding a plant tells him that he will remain King and need not worry “...until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane Hill /Shall come against him [Macbeth]." Meanwhile, Macduff brings an army to Macbeth. Macbeth believes that Macduff can not harm him because he was born of a woman, but he had an unnatural birth so Macduff beheads Macbeth so that they are free of another tyrant.

In the play, Macbeth is fighting for the king. On his way back from the battlefield he and his companion, Banquo, encounter three witches with a prophecy. The prophecy tells that Macbeth will be thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor, and king. Macbeth and his wife are having the king king and other people over and while everyone is asleep Macbeth kills the king as he and his wife discussed and blamed it on servants. After Macbeth becomes the king, he does everything in his power to ensure that he stays king, including murdering Banquo and killing Macduff’s family. At the end of the play Macbeth’s self-confidence and ambition leads to him being killed by Macduff.

Macduff goes on to behead Macbeth, in revenge for his family. Macduff declares his brother, Malcolm, King of Scotland. Macbeth therefore fits every characteristic of a Shakespearean tragic hero, due to his blind ambition to become Thane of Cawdor, which resulted in his ultimate downfall,

he witches once again appear and tell Macbeth not to worry as she can only be killed of a men not born by a woman. The battle commences and Macbeth is fighting well, like a person who believes he cannot be killed (everyone is born of a woman, right?.. mmhm ) However, when he meets the warrior Macduff, one of Malcolm's allies, Macduff says that he was born by caesarian section - not born normally, but cut from his mother's womb. Macbeth then knows the game is up. Macduff murders Macbeth and Malcolm, Duncan's son, is crowned the new

Although William Shakespeare created the play, Macbeth, to be a tragedy, the tragic hero can hardly be considered to be one. For the entirety of one of Shakespeare’s most magnificent works, Macbeth is controlled and manipulated into committing atrocious acts that the witches and his wife desire. He is powerless to their tricks and through their sorcery/cunning words and his own morals (or lack thereof) “sustain[s] the central paradox–the heroic murderer” (Cusick). Despite the fact that he laments the loss of his king, Duncan, he still continues down his path of evil that only has one ending: his death. Although Macbeth gains a few insights on his inner self, his lack of ability to resist manipulation, willingness to kill, combined with his

Shakespeare's macbeth is arguably his most violent and bloody play. One of the central characters in the play is macbeth. In the beginning of the play, macbeth is an ambitious thane who wants to be king. He is trusted and respectable by his kingsmen. After murdering the king he seems headed for a mental breakdown, overwhelmed with guilt and fear.

Macbeth’s story is full of sadness and evil deeds. The once loyal and lawful man, Macbeth, turns into a killing machine with little to no regard for human life. He is a man returning from a war he fought for King Duncan, when three witches approach and tell him he will be king. This piece of information fills Macbeth with lust for power. He at first does not want to kill anyone, but his wife implants thoughts into his head that make him think that killing to get what you want is ok.

Macduff flees to England to plan a rebellion with Malcolm and upon this news, Ross, another thane, goes to comfort Lady Macduff by saying it was wisdom to make him leave(Shakespeare 4.2.7). Lady Macduff responds with, “Wisdom! To leave his wife, to leave his babes, his mansion and his titles,” (Shakespeare 4.2.8-9). Knowing the pain people under Macbeth’s rule face, Macduff uses his power as a thane and a friend of Malcolm to protect the people of Scotland under Macbeth’s rule. He goes to Malcolm, the rightful heir to the throne, where they plot to “bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself;/ within my sword’s length set him,” (Shakespeare 4.3.274-275). Macduff will, and does, murder a man, the most heinous act for the least selfish reason.
