Fate, And Macbiting Themes In William Shakespeare's Macbeth

There are many different themes displayed in Shakespeare's famous play Macbeth. Many of these themes play with nature, the supernatural, and fate. From ghosts to horses eating each other the play uses symbolism, language, and characters to portray these themes. During the play the audience learns of several themes such as ambition, guilt, fate versus free will, nature versus the unnatural, and how things are not always as they seem.

Macbeth, written by william shakespeare displays a diverse range of themes and topics throughout the play. These themes are represented through a wide range of characters throughout the dramatic text. One that is strongly underlined throughout the whole play is the theme of the connection between ambition and manipulation and one of the main characters; Lady Macbeth. Throughout the sequences of the play, lady macbeth is depicted as a head-strong ambitious woman who challenges her husband's masculinity in order for him to commit actions in order to gain power.

Macbeth's feels that his destiny is to become King and rule with all the power that goes with kingship. The three witches on his way back to the kingdom, prophesied that he would rise to kingship. They said "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis" (I, 3, 48), and then as the thane of Cawdor "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor" (I, 3, 49). At this point in the play Macbeth had just become thane of Glamis, and the thane of Cawdor is still alive. Then, the witches greeted Macbeth as the King of Scotland saying "All hail, Macbeth! That shalt be King hereafter" (I, 3, 50). This is the point in the tragedy where Macbeth starts to think as a villain. If the witches had never greeted him as King on Scotland, then he would probably never have contemplated killing Duncan in the first place. At first, he believes that he will need to kill King Duncan. Though at the end of Act 1, Scene 3, he thinks that perhaps he doesn't need to do anything to become the king saying "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me without my stir.", showing he is a man of honor and morals. Then, Lady Macbeth hears of the prophecy in his letters and decides immediately for him that King Duncan must die, showing Macbeth's doubt. An

The story of Macbeth is full of many themes that describe the story. The themes of guilt, things are not what they seem, fate versus free will, and nature versus the unnatural. Even

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 order to fully chew and digest a story, you must be made aware of the theme (s) of said tale. Main themes in the tale of Macbeth are those of “Controlling your Fate”, “Trading your soul for something you desire”, and “Gender Roles”. These themes are very well portrayed in Disney Classics. Macbeth killed many people in order to protect himself and the throne by the guidelines of the prophecy that three witches told him, as so in the case of Banquo and his son Fleance. Macbeth killed Banquo because Banquo was growing suspicious of Macbeth’s morality.

Even though both stories show the same theme, in the play “Macbeth,” the theme isn’t as strong as it could be. In the beginning the main character Macbeth is loyal but as the story continues, Macbeth transforms into this character who disobeys his friends and family. He’s no longer looked at as a leader. At times he realizes he made the wrong choices, but at other times he thought him being king was his destiny. Macbeth says “I bear a charmed life, which must not yield to one of woman born” (Shakespeare 212). When he says this, he thinks he has nothing to worry about because being king is his destiny and he doesn’t have to worry in the

/For it is thine. ¨ King Duncan had noticed the loyalty Macbeth displayed to his home by serving the country, and since the King knew of the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, King Duncan had awarded Macbeth the next Thane of Cawdor, just as how the witches predictions. As Macbeth keeps dwelling on the sister witches’ prophecies we can infer, Macbeth wants this fortunes to come true, so the news brought by the two men must sound exciting to Macbeth. Macbeth knew he would be the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor now but power tends to go straight to people 's head and now he wants to be king, the evident through lines 149 and 160 “Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, / Why hath it given me earnest of success, / Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion / Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair / And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, / Against the use of nature? Present fears / Are less than horrible imaginings: / My thought, whose

For centuries, I feel that literature has moved readers and taught lessons that apply to everyday life. William Shakespeare’s play, “Macbeth,” is no exception. I think that the play possesses many crucial themes that are relevant even within today’s modern society. A theme is an overall message the author wants readers to take away from their work. Macbeth’s powerful themes include that not everything is what it appears to be, that all of our actions have consequences and that fear compels us to do frightful deeds. I think that Shakespeare’s original play, filled with vivid descriptions and emotions, is more effective than the movie Macbeth (2015), in portraying these themes to today’s audiences.

    A message I find the author conveying in this play is that you should always be thankful for what you have. The second message I have found throughout this play, is that power and greed will make a man do anything, even things never thought to be possible. Lastly, I find that a common theme that the author used throughout this play, is that words can be translated in many different ways. I find that the last theme most commonly happens to Macbeth. Macbeth believes that he can not be killed by any man born out of a woman. What Macbeth fails to know, is that Macduff was ripped  from his mother's womb by caesarean section. “Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed Macbeth shall live the lease of nature, pay
