Lady Macbeth's Soliloquy

The moon is melancholically moving towards the horizon and the sun is rising mechanically. A beam of light suddenly shined Duncan’s body as if it knew what happened last night. The dense air is penetrating the room. I couldn’t barely move nor breathe.

Visualize being in MacBeth’s place, you are announced Thane of Cawdor after your heroic leadership on the battlefield, why would you thirst for a higher rank? Although you may be content with your position, there are many reasons why you would want more power. Your rank becomes very close to that of a king, so you decide to go for it, after all, all you have to do to be king is to kill Duncan. As your sight of kingship would become realistic, your rapacity grows, and you start making nefarious decisions that would affect your disposition. As an effect of your changed mindset, your nobles start to become suspicious that you are deranged. Little do they know they are all pawns in your game of life and your scheme to become king is going impeccably

Lady Macbeth's ambitious nature was a large part of the play. Lady Macbeth often brought Macbeth's manhood into question whenever he was weary of going through with something, even something as atrocious as murder. For example, “Yet do I fear thy nature; / It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness / To catch the nearest way”(1.5.14-16). In this quote she basically says that he is too much of a wuss to follow through with their plan to elevate their social status. Lady Macbeth was also the one who planted the daggers on the guards when Macbeth couldn't follow through with it. If she hadn't have done that there is a good chance that they could have been caught. She asks “Why did you bring these daggers from the place? / They must lie there:

In this soliloquy, we learn how Banquo's ambition begins to collide with what's wrong and right. After Duncan's mysterious death,  Banquo is considering the possibilities of Macbeth's actions and expresses his emotions aloud to him. Banquo is the only character that is completely aware of the witches prophecies and Macbeth's involvement with them. In this excerpt he decides not to share his suspicions, revealing his loyalty for Macbeth. His words give more insight on how much faith he is beginning to have in the sisters after a state of doubt.

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth can be seen as hysterical, manic, and deranged. In this quote, as soon as Lady Macbeth hears Macbeth’s dream of becoming King, she reveals her extreme eagerness and enthusiasm she has hidden throughout the play to help him achieve this goal of his. This quote demonstrates Lady Macbeth’s crazed personality with great might and power used in her voice by commanding, “Was the hope drunk / Wherein you dressed yourself… Art thou afeard[?]” (Shakespeare I.vii.39-43). Lady Macbeth is overexcited and filled with a weird type of crazy knowing she now has an opportunity to fulfill her ravenous soul filled with the need to gain power.

isn’t really sure if it really there. The author must’ve put the two words together as they show how he’s in a psychological state of mind and it shows that before something has happened his future is already sealed. This shows dramatic irony to the audience as it shows that before something has happened they already know of his future. Macbeth’s flaw of following the prediction of the supernatural caused his tragic end because of Lady Macbeth’s response to the witches.

Lady Macbeth’s Monologue in scene five of act one exemplifies Lady Macbeth’s hidden ambitions for herself and her husband, and also reveals Lady Macbeth’s opinions of her husband. Lady Macbeth’s powerful word choice in the lines “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; shalt be what thou art promised,” (1.5.15-16) illuminates how Lady Macbeth has ambition to seize her own goals. Instead of saying that Macbeth might be king if the prophecy comes true, she says that he will be king, because it is what he was promised by the witches. The powerful word choice that Lady Macbeth uses not only reveals Lady Macbeth’s own ambitions - that she and Macbeth become powerful rulers - but also reveals how Lady Macbeth’s ambitions are portrayed through Macbeth, as she cannot seize power herself due to her gender and the time period in which she lives.

Macbeth’s soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 7 is crucial to the plot of the entire work because it shows Macbeth’s uncertainty about the crime he is about to commit to become King of Scotland. The religious allusions and metaphors in this passage contribute to its significance and to the desperation and inner turmoil felt by Macbeth over the impending murder of Duncan. Recurring ideas of miracles and fate are represented throughout the passage. The inclusion of these religious allusions may have been Shakespeare’s way of making a political statement during the Thirty Year’s War.

In the novel Macbeth by Shakespeare we see the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The relationship they have isn't what you would expect for the time period. The relationship is that lady Macbeth wears the pants in the relationship. An example of this is during her soliloquy lady Macbeth says “That I may pour my spirits in thine ear” (act 1 scene 5 line 29). This means that she will tell him what to do because he won't do it himself.

With the current state of Scotland, being innocent is not necessarily enough in the eyes of Macbeth.

Soliloquy isn't often seen in regular chapter books; even though, it gives a great insight to what the character is thinking. Soliloquy is when a character voices their thoughts or feelings out loud, mostly when they think they're alone. In "Macbeth" one of the better known soliloquy is when a dagger appears before Macbeth and he starts to talk to himself. The dagger prompts Macbeth to question his sanity, then address the soon-to-be death of King Duncan : " Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?" (Macbeth 2.1.38-40)- " It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes" ( Macbeth 2.1.48-49).

In act III, Shakespeare showed us a different side of Macbeth through his soliloquy. Shakespeare painted Macbeth’s character as a heroic war soldier, but throughout act 3 his character faces a downfall and Macbeth let his greed and ambition overshadow his heroic image. In Macbeth’s soliloquy, he reveals his deep thoughts and his desire to kill Banquo in order for himself to become king. To Macbeth, nothing can make him feel threatened, except for the noble Banquo, Banquo always takes risks and is a man with clever mindset. Macbeth’s thirst for power and to become king has dominated his ability to make smart and rational decisions.

ACT 1 SCENE 7 of Macbeth soliloquy its before he kills King Duncan. Macbeth has already planned to kill Duncan but still hasn’t committed the murder. The soliloquy is about Macbeth stating why he should not kill king Duncan and Macbeth is giving all these points that he couldn’t kill him, also he knew that there will be consequences and will cause violence. Macbeth puts the consequences away and looks at all the rewards, which Makes him even more ambitious to take the risk and still kill king Duncan. This is the first stage to where his deterioration starts because of how ambitious he is to becoming a king.

In “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to kill King Duncan so he can become king, and her queen. Ambitious and cunning she convinces Macbeth to go along with her plan to murder Duncan. Lady Macbeth shows her desire to become evil and remorseless in her monologue by using the literary devices such as symbolism, and alliteration. Lady Macbeth fully expresess her desire to be cruel and heartless in order to become Queen of Scotland. She describes how she wishes for demons to “unsex” her and strip away her womanly emotions.

The play ‘Macbeth’ uses soliloquies with great effect to express the thoughts of individual characters, particularly in the case of the protagonist, Macbeth. In Act V Scene V, strong words from Macbeth convey to the reader two themes of the play.  This soliloquy demonstrates the play's use of irony and the use of the disparity between the great opposition of light and darkness as symbols for both life and death.  This soliloquy is quite significant to the play as a whole since it demonstrates two very important themes as well as leading to a better understanding of Macbeth.
