How Macbeth's Character Changes Throughout The Play

They enter the castle in scene seven and Macduff seeks out Macbeth, ignoring all other beings there. "Let me find him, Fortune! And more I beg not" (5.7). They finally meet and Macbeth tells him to leave, as he already has so much of his blood. Macduff says that he has no words for him and that he will let his sword be his voice. Macduff then tells Macbeth that his prophecy does not protect from him, as he had to be removed from his mother by C-section and thusly is not “Woman-born”. He then fights Macbeth to the death. He reappears in scene nine with Macbeth’s head and announces that Malcolm is now the king of Scotland.

One of the many timeless plays by William Shakespeare is Macbeth, a tragedy written in 1606, shortly after the attempted treasonous assassination of James 1, the current King of England at the time. James 1 was disliked due to his strive to unite England, and the place in which Shakespeare’s work took place, Scotland. Enkindled by these recent events, Macbeth, the protagonist, experiences power struggles in his relationships with other characters, which prove to be crucial to the outcome of the play. It is his relationships with Banquo, a fellow soldier; the Apparitions produced by the Witches, and Macduff, the Thane of Fife, that most significantly portray his internal strife.

Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. The play is a tragedy about a general in Scotland's army who kills to become king and how he deals with the following suspicion and uprisals. Over the course of the play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth changes more than Macbeth, because she becomes weaker while Macbeth remains relatively the same.

         Towards the end of the play, once Macbeth’s wife has died and the battle is drawing closer, Macbeth shows the desire for some good that may have been.  He wishes for a normal life in which he would have lived to an honorable age, but he recognizes that he has deprived himself of this.   Even when Macbeth hears that the prophecy of Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane has been fulfilled, he rejects this idea and fights on until he realizes that Macduff wasn’t born in a natural birth but instead was "untimely ripped"(V.viii.19-20) from his mother’s womb.  When Macbeth hears of this, he realizes what dastardly deeds he has done and how he has underestimated the power of the witches. He fights on, knowing it is only a matter of time before he is slain.

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.

Macduff questions Macbeth’s actions as he has murdered the King’s guards as they were the apparent killers. Considering Macbeth murder the suspected killer Macduff begins to be suspicious of his actions. After Macbeth murdered the guards and is about to explain his reason, Lady Macbeth draws everyone's attention from her husband by fainting.

In this scene it starts with Macbeth talking to himself and saying why he does not want to kill the king. The first reason why Macbeth does not want to kill the king is because he is a relative to Macbeth. The second reason why Macbeth does not want to kill the king is because he is loyal to the king and he is hosting the king. The third reason why Macbeth does not want to kill the king is because he is a good king and if Macbeth kills him everyone will know that he was the one that killed the king. With Macbeth talking about all these things to himself it shows how he does not think that it is a good idea to kill the king. Also with him talking about all the reasons why he should not kill the king he starts to talk himself out of killing the king. As Macbeth finished talking himself out of killing the king this is when Lady Macbeth walks in and Macbeth tells her why it is a bad idea to kill the king. With Macbeth telling Lady Macbeth this it makes her angry and she comes back with an interesting way to get him to do it. The way that she will get him to do it is by telling him that he is a coward. Another way that Lady Macbeth tell Macbeth about why he should do it is because she tells him if that he does not do it he will not be a man and this is where Lady Macbeth gets under Macbeth's skin. After this is when Macbeth starts

This demonstrates the effect of murder on Macbeth’s mind, as he is hallucinating and seeing a ghost form of Duncan. Furthermore, in the first part of the quote, Macbeth denies committing the murder in the first place, which emulsifies his paranoia and anxiety towards the matter. In other words, he is concerned that he is known to be the murderer of Duncan. Macbeth also requests the ghost to not shake his head at him in the second part of the quote, which further affirms that he does not want to argue or talk about the murder, as similarly stated before. Following this encounter, Macduff seeks out the witches to be told by the first apparition, “Macbeth! Macbeth!

Macbeth is nervous and becomes frightened of what they have done while his wife tells him to change because they have blood on their clothes. This shows that Macbeth still has some morals, which are being lessened as his greed increases and there is more blood on his hands. Once Macbeth is crowned king he continues to kill people in order to secure his rule, including his friend Banquo, Lady Macduff, and Lady Macduff's children. Macbeth visited the three witches again to listen to more prophecy about him and an apparition appeared telling him " no one given birth to by a woman shall harm Macbeth" (Act 4 Scene 1). By hearing this, Macbeth believed he was virtually invincible, but in the end Macduff revealed he was brought into the world by caesarean section, not by a natural birth. Macbeth realizes that Macduff would be the one to kill him in the battle between Malcolm and he. Macbeth had entered a cycle of greed, leading to spilling blood, which in turn made him think he had secured his power. This terrible cycle was ultimately the reason for his demise because he couldn't control his greed and killed more and more people to remain the king of Scotland.

Macbeth and Macduff end up duking it out at the end. As always the good prevails and Macduff slayed Macbeth and chopped his head off, which by the way is another tragic event. Some may disagree with me saying that Macbeth caused the tragic events in this

Throughout the play Shakespeare uses witchcraft to influence Macbeth’s decisions and to manipulate him. In Macbeth the 3 witches appear and speak to Macbeth saying, “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!/ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be kind hereafter!” (1.3.49-51) By revealing these prophecies the witches gain

Wanting to know more about the future, Macbeth visits the witches once again. They presence him with three apparitions that tell him more

In the beginning of the scene lady macbeth begins to act very un normal in her sleep. They have a doctor come and check on her. There is 2 armies that are heading towards macbeth doing whatever it takes to attack him. When the army arrives macbeth kills siward, but in return macduff beheads macbeth. Macbeth was talking trash to macduff, and macduff wasn't having any of it. Macduff started talking about macbeth's mother, and eventually he chops off macbeth's head.

In the end, Macbeth becomes a tyrant, blinded by his pride and fate, and begins to believe he is invincible. He becomes so drunk with power that he seeks out the witches to find out how he can remain king. They show him three apparitions, one of which explains that he cannot be killed by a man born of a woman. This prophecy allows Macbeth to create a false sense of security because he now believes he’s invincible. In the following scene, Macbeth receives an urgent message on Macduff’s whereabouts.“Macduff is fled to England...The castle of Macduff I will surprise, seize upon fife, give to th’ edge o’ th’ sword. His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line,”(4.1.160-174). Macbeth feels threatened when he hears the news of Macduff fleeing and retaliates by having Macduff’s wife

The play starts when the three witches appears and then goes to a military camp. The news reached to the Scottish King named Duncan that his two generals, Macbeth and Banquo, that they have won in the war against the two separate invading armies from Ireland and the other one was from Norway. When they are battling against with these enemy forces, Macbeth and Banquo saw the witches as they cross a moor. The three witches have prophesy for Macbeth that he will be promote as a thane of Cawdor and at some later of time he will become a King of Scotland. They have also prophesy that Macbeth’s companion, Banquo will become the father of the king but not a king himself. The three witches was vanish, and then Macbeth and Banquo have a doubt in their prophecies until some of King Duncan’s men come to thank the two generals for their victories in battle and to tell Macbeth that he has indeed
