Lady Macbeth is a two-faced megalomaniac who is responsible for the murder of King Duncan in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. After Macbeth tells her about their probable future of royalty foretold by a group of old witches, she immediately creates a plan to kill the king of Scotland in order to gain control of the throne. She, however, puts this murderous crime upon the shoulders of her husband Macbeth to do the dirty work. In the play, one can see how Lady Macbeth is more responsible for the murder of King Duncan because of her abilities to easily manipulate people into doing what she wants.

In Williams Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth a man who starts off as an innocent man who throughout the play gets corrupted by power. Macduff the hero of this story kills Macbeth from his dreadful rule. Macduff knew Macbeth killed Duncan to get the crown, therefore he does not show up to the coronation. Macduff convinces Malcolm to get back what he owns. Macduff gets emotional after he finds out his wife and kids had been killed by murders sent there by Macbeth. Macduff proves his strength and his ability to be a hero to all Scotland.

With attention to the murder of King Duncan, Macbeth struggles with the morality of his actions. Before the murder takes place, Macbeth begins to believe that the murder will “be the be-all and the end-all” to his clear conscious and would risk him to eternal damnation (Act I, line 5). Yet, the murder would bring him power over Scotland and he “shalt be kind” as told by the Weird Sisters(Act 1, line 50). Macbeth goes off of his ambition to murder King Duncan. The internal struggle of choosing mortality over motives brought forth an intense shift of loyalty to betrayal. The murder caused for Macbeth to turn on Scotland and only care for his own selfish motives. The betrayal causes for the play to become horrific and have a double meaning. Macbeth must put on a face to hide his murder to become the king. The double meaning is how Macbeth looks like a hero to all of Scotland, but only the people on the inside know of his horrific actions. He had to murder to to get the position of King, but the

They say greed is the root of all evil. This is especially shown in Macbeth, the desire of power becomes an apparent symbol throughout the play. How does a man loyal to the king turn so easily from the slight temptation of the crown. After the murder of Duncan Macbeth is seen picturing an imaginary dagger, “Is this a dagger which I see before me,/ The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.” (2.1.33-34 Macbeth) Macbeth isn’t even seen remorseful for the cruel deed he just commits; to a man who he swore an oath of loyalty to. Macbeth shows signs of greed and gluttony as the infatuation of power settles in him throughout the plot.

He is Duncan’s ‘kinsman and his subject’, he reminds himself that what he is doing is wrong and that he has the duty to protect the king, not murder him. In an interaction with Lady Macbeth prior to the murder of Duncan, he says they ‘shall proceed no longer in this business’, this shows that he has a moral compass, and he knows that what he is about to do is wrong. Also, previous to the murder he hallucinates a ‘dagger’, it is a figment of his imagination because he is very anxious, and is already feeling culpability. This part in the play is key in showing that Macbeth is consumed by guilt and anxiety, so is not in the best mindset to commit a murder. Despite this, he still kills Duncan. His guilt returns after the murder when an ‘Amen [is] stuck’ in his throat, he knows that he has sinned against God, and he is too anxious to say Amen. Immediately after killing Duncan he is ‘afraid to think of what [he has] done’, he has immense regret and feels a lot of guilt.

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a tragedy in which the main characters are obsessed by the desire for power. Macbeth’s aspiration for power blinds him to the ethical implications of his dreadful acts. The more that Shakespeare’s Macbeth represses his murderous feelings, the more he is haunted by them. By analyzing his hallucinations it is possible to trace his deteriorating mental state and the trajectory of his ultimate fall. Throughout the play Macbeth is never satisfied with himself. He feels the need to keep committing crime in order to keep what he wants most: his kingship. The harder Macbeth tries to change his fate the more he tends to run into his fate. His ambition and struggle for power was Macbeth’s tragic flaw in the play.

What a kind man Banquo is, always looking out for the interest of others. Too bad he won’t be around much longer to continue doing so. He must be killed. It is the only way to protect my throne. Banquo may be my friend and my trusted colleague and he is a good, noble man but he is a threat to me. His living will lead to my demise. The prophecy the witches predict, knowing that he will father a long line of kings if he lives, leaves me frozen in fear. I have no heir to the throne, I have no one. I know that Banquo suspects that I killed Duncan, I can tell by the way he acts around me. He is tense and uneasy. He isn’t wrong to be. But if he speaks of his suspicion that I murdered Duncan, my rule will surely be at risk.

Of course, we know that Macbeth (with some encouragement from his wife) does murder Duncan.

Trust can build or destroy relationships between people. Similar to glass, once a relationship is broken by distrust it can never be put perfectly back together. In both Shakespeare's Macbeth and "The Social Network" directed by David Fincher, trust is seen as a negative trait. Many characters put their trust in the protagonists, Macbeth and Mark Zuckerburg, only to be betrayed in return. Both Macbeth and Mark betray their significant other, those of a higher authority and their best friend.

“They knew very well why he hadn’t: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (Golding 31).

¨Íf chance will have me king why chance may crown me/Without my stir.” If he will be king he will choose not to try and make it happen any faster he will let it take it coarse. Things may differ when the choice is ready to be made. Even though we sometimes do not choose what happens to us. We make our own choices therefore free will is the stronger force.

Shakespeare is one of the most influential and famous playwrights of modern times. A major reason his work is loved by so many is because of his insightfulness into the human mind, and one of Shakespeare’s greatest works demonstrating this is Macbeth. This famous play is about nobleman and military man Macbeth and how his tragic choices lead to his inevitable demise. The first and most trying choice that Macbeth has to make is whether or not to kill Duncan, the king of Scotland. Macbeth has to make this decision while being pulled in different directions by two conflicting forces. The force pulling him away from murder is his loyalty and humanity towards Duncan. The other force pulling him towards murder is his loyalty towards Lady Macbeth

Macbeth is a proud and robust Scottish general who is looked up to by the community. He is the Thane of Glamis and later is named the Thane of Cawdor, which is what leads his greed and ambition rise up to affect his thoughts and personality. Macbeth wants nothing more than for the prophecies given to him by the witches to come true, but he does not have the drive to act upon his desires. It is only with the persuasion that he was able to perform upon what he wanted to do as was able to kill Duncan. This had however traumatized him in ways that could not be reversed.

Duncan is the most unlikely character to be killed because of his personality, but his title as King of Scotland, causes for Macbeth to loathe Duncan. In the play there is very little interaction between Macbeth and Duncan, showing the little time in which Macbeth gets more power. Prior to the witches’ prophecies Macbeth is loyal to Duncan, and would never imagine killing him. After the one of the witches’ prophecies comes to be true, the thought of killing Duncan, Macbeth "yield[s] to that suggestion / whose horrid image doth unfix my hair / and make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (1.3.146-148). Partly because of Lady Macbeth’s suggestion his "vaulting ambition" is starting to take over, and he begins to take into consideration killing
