Macbeth Is To Blame

To begin, the witches are the catalyst to Macbeth’s crimes because the convince him that he will become king. Macbeth first meets the witches while returning from a gruesome battle and it is safe to say that they greet him with some audacious titles. They initially greet him as the Thane of Glamis and the Thane of Cawdor, but it is their final greeting which has the greatest effect on Macbeth. The witches hail Macbeth as someone “that shalt be king hereafter!” (1.3.53). This ignites a fire inside Macbeth, who is an immensely ambitious person. He begins to fantasize about the luxurious life he would have if he were the king of Scotland and he suddenly has the temptation to kill King Duncan. Although the witches’ prediction is favourable, Macbeth has no reason to believe them, at least until one of their other predictions turns out to be true. This

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 Play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare is shaped by supernatural forces with the use of the weird witches, the apparition of the ghost, and the floating dagger. These forces lead Macbeth to act in the way he did and add suspense to the play. The play opens with the three witches, and later on Macbeth and Banquo encounter them. They prophesized that Macbeth will be promoted to Thane of Cawdor, and then become King of Scotland. In addition to that, Banquo was told that his sons shall be kings, but never himself. Macbeth was skeptical about the prophesies, but until some of King Duncan’s men came to inform Macbeth that that he was to be named Thane of Cawdor due to the betrayal of the previous and condemned to death. Then Lady Macbeth

Macbeth first met the witches whilst on his journey back from battle. The witches gain Macbeth’s attention by hailing him the thane of Glamis, which in the play was his current title. They then hail him the thane of Cawdor, which unbeknown to him would

Blame is a rhetoric idea that can be imposed on anyone and anything. Macbeth is blamed for the murder of the king, yet it can argumented that Lady Macbeth is also at fault here, but one thing comes to point: the one who killed the king is guilty. Although Lady Macbeth planned and manipulated him it gives no excuse to murder because Macbeth had a choice and a voice for that matter to stop his actions from happening. Moreover, Macbeth had dangerous thoughts overcoming his mind during scene 3, murder of the king was imbedded into his thoughts, this would lead Lady Macbeth to easy manipulation now that a seed was planted. As to say that the seed was watered and a wretched flower bloomed. To point out, Macbeth was a warrior, that had recently defeated

When the three witches delivered the prophecies in the first act they hailed Macbeth is “Thane of Cawdor”, “Thane of Glamis”, and also claimed that shall soon become king. While Macbeth is bewildered and

The supporting characters strongly lead the title characters into their tragedy because of their continuous influence. For instance, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are deciding on a plan to murder Duncan and to convince Macbeth agrees, she mocks him by questioning: “We fail?/ But screw your courage to the sticking place/ And we’ll not fail” (1.7.69-71). Lady Macbeth is using Macbeth’s trepidation to persuade him into agreeing to a plan that will greatly benefit them both but will have severe consequences. Macbeth suffers a great deal of guilt because of the way Lady Macbeth was able to persuade him into agreeing to murder individuals in order to gain power, which in hand leads him to his end. Many people may argue that the supporting characters had

I believe both Macbeth’s are to blame for the murder of King Duncan. They both are guilty, even though Lady Macbeth didn’t physically do the killing but she was aware of it. Lady Macbeth not only didn’t stop him but she encouraged him, even when he was contemplating not going through with it she basically forced him to go through with the plan.

In Macbeth the witches are the ones that fill Macbeth’s head with the information that he will be king of Scotland but it was Macbeth’s responsibility to decide what he should do with this information and to make the right choices. The witches should not be held responsible for his actions even though they did tempt him with the information but Macbeth was in no way, shape, or form forced by the witches to do anything. It was completely Macbeth’s fault for what happened to him in the end.

The play ‘Macbeth’ written by William Shakespeare is one of great tragedy. In the play, Macbeth, the main character, transforms from a war hero to a tyrannical murderer. He is the one that is most responsible for all of this tragedy, including his own death. This is because he is the one that allowed other characters to influence his decisions; and he actually committed the murder of King Duncan. The Witches and Lady Macbeth may share some responsibility for the tragedy, but Macbeth must take most of the blame.

In the society where we live in today, there are many people who act like an innocent flower but, is really a serpent underneath it. In the book Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, besides himself, his fellow peers are the main ones to blame for his downfall. Although Macbeth may also be the cause of his own death due to the lack of ambition he has, ultimately, Lady Macbeth who encourages Macbeth to murder Duncan, an innocent man, and also the Witches who firstly present Macbeth with the prophecies are the main triggers in his descendants Even though, Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s Husband, she is willing to throw away anything in her power in order for Macbeth to become the throne. Lady Macbeth realizes the excitement really building deeply inside

In William Shakespeare's drama, Macbeth, the main character, Macbeth, made many bad decisions because of his ambition to become king. He had many different encounters, including one with the Witches which made him question everything he ever knew. But, somewhere along the way he messed up and tried to toy with fate. Yet, it wasn’t all his fault. One may try to blame Macbeth or the weïrd sisters, though, Lady Macbeth is the most responsible for his downfall because she fills his head with ideas, she had bad intentions not only for herself, she took advantage of his nobleness, and she was prepared to risk everything they had.

After hearing about the three witches’ prophecy that he is to become king, Macbeth is motivated for the kingship, which leads to a series of misfortunes. The witches’ prophesized that Macbeth would become “thane of Cawdor” (1.3.50) and that he “shalt be king hereafter” (1.3.51). The witches predicted that Macbeth would move up in power. He is already thane of Glamis, but he will move up to become the thane of Cawdor and eventually the future

Macbeth was greeted by three witches. The first witch greets Macbeth as the Thane of Glamis, which he already was. However, the second witch says, “All hail, Macbeth hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!” (Shakespeare p. 327). After hearing the third witch say, “All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter” (Shakespeare p. 327), he starts to wonder if it’s true. Witches were known for prophesizing the future. Macbeth then knew he had to get rid of the king now, beginning his plan to kill Duncan.

Hail to thee Thane of Glamis!/ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter.” (Macbeth, 1.3.51-53). Macbeth first looks at this as a hoax, Banquo and himself deciding that these witches are just crazy old women, until a messenger tell Macbeth that he has just been pronounced Thane of Cawdor by king Duncan, a title Macbeth had not yet owned. This is when he starts questioning the power of these three witches, wondering if an otherworldly force is truly responsible for what has been bestowed upon him. Shakespeare does however share this information with us early on in the play, making the question of whether this was a cruel trick played on the witches, relaying a “false prophecy” or if they could really see or control fate (Shmoop
