Macbeth Manipulation Quotes

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the author uses manipulation to show the protagonist’s downfall rests in the hands of females. The females manipulate Macbeth into doing what they want. They constantly agitate and unnerve Macbeth, forcing him to go against his will. Even when Macbeth wants to do the right thing, these cruel females push him against human nature.

In William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth", manipulation is a very effective device. The main character Macbeth is a puppet controlled by the words coming from the three witches and Lady Macbeth. The four troublemakers provide Macbeth with the motivation and confidence he needs to kill Duncan and perform other dark actions. Macbeth is very ambitious; there’s no doubt about this. However, there is no sign of him changing from a loyal man to a power hungry man. That is until outside influences begin to interfere with his life. The people with the greatest impact on Macbeth are his wife, Lady Macbeth and the witches. However, he then learns to manipulate others himself. In the end, all the treachery is revealed and he realizes

The main instance of Macbeth’s free will being shown is in his murder of Duncan, to become king. Macbeth heard the prophecy from the Weird Sisters that he was to be king and immediately began to plan the murder of the present king. Many would scoff at hearing such a claim, but Macbeth used it as justification for murder. It was clear that being King was something that Macbeth desired, and would do anything to achieve it. It became impossible to tell if Macbeth becoming King was as a result of fate, because he took the matters into his own hands. Right after hearing the prophecy, the first thing Macbeth does is write a letter to Lady Macbeth telling her of his plan. He did not let the statements run their course. Macbeth and his wife planned out the actions necessary for Macbeth to become king. He may have eventually become King if he never did anything, but there is no way of knowing what would have happened.

“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires”(I, 4, 52-53) This is exactly what the stars did in Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

This is demonstrated in the dagger speech and the Tomorrow speech that will be discussed showing his ambition for power and happiness to his demise.

In Shakespeare's “Macbeth” both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are crazy but the crazier one is Macbeth. Macbeth murdered innocent people, he was obsessed to become king and he believed whatever the witches said.

In Shakespeare’s Tragedy Macbeth, it is very debatable if fate, or freewill is what causes Macbeth to do the things he does through out the tragedy. Freewill is at work most through out the tragedy because Macbeth is convinced he can change or speed up the fate the three weird sisters prophesized for him at his own will. Throughout the play, Macbeth slowly begins to think he can modify his fate by using the prophecies told to Macbeth by the weird sisters and attempting to change them by his free will.

If a bully makes someone hurt themselves it is the bully's fault. Right? It's the same in Macbeth, Lady Macbeth uses peer pressure and harsh words to led Macbeth to killing Duncan. It all started when the witches told Macbeth he was going to be king. His cousin, Duncan was the king at the moment though.

Macbeth’s flaw of following the prediction of the supernatural caused his tragic end because of Lady Macbeth’s response to the witches.

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.

Through this juxtaposition, Shakespeare shows that lady Macbeth is willing to use her love as a means to manipulate Macbeth; she will use her love to control him, no matter what the cost.

Although William Shakespeare created the play, Macbeth, to be a tragedy, the tragic hero can hardly be considered to be one. For the entirety of one of Shakespeare’s most magnificent works, Macbeth is controlled and manipulated into committing atrocious acts that the witches and his wife desire. He is powerless to their tricks and through their sorcery/cunning words and his own morals (or lack thereof) “sustain[s] the central paradox–the heroic murderer” (Cusick). Despite the fact that he laments the loss of his king, Duncan, he still continues down his path of evil that only has one ending: his death. Although Macbeth gains a few insights on his inner self, his lack of ability to resist manipulation, willingness to kill, combined with his

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Macbeth cheated and manipulated his reality to become king. Macbeth was selfish and ultimately created the path to his death by his greedy actions.
