Macbeth by William Shakespeare

In Shakespeare play, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth’s character progresses in an interesting manner. Lady Macbeth is made to act as an incentive to Macbeth's immoral actions. Even though Macbeth is generally the person to have a final say before killing someone, Lady Macbeth plays the role of his “sidekick”. She mocks her husband if he worries over a sinful deed (which usually she instructs him to do), saying he would be less of a man if he does not follow through with their plan (I. vii. 56-57). She gives Macbeth a short lecture in deceptiveness when they are planning to kill King Duncan (I. vi. 73-78). She also prepared the daggers for Macbeth to kill Duncan in advance (II. ii. 15-16). Although her husband was still having doubts, she was always ready to go in for the kill. She did not think twice about it or feel any remorse. This shows that Lady Macbeth evolved into looking like a humble and quieter person on the exterior, but being an insane woman and criminal due to the events that have affected her.

Everyone has a quality that they do not like about themselves. Some people struggle to be social, others may be too controlling of people. The list goes on and on, but the point is that everybody has a particular quality that they must learn to control or else that particular quality can get out of hand.

Anyone who has ever read it, could easily identify the fatal flaw that the character Macbeth possesses which is greed. Even though many readers can all agree that greed is Macbeth’s fatal flaw, the argument as to whether or not

As the play goes, Macbeth shows a character of free will. Although his destiny was pre-determined for him by the witches, he took action to believe and to make sure that his prophecies will come true.

In all, his decisions help shape the future ahead of him.

Good leader is only as good as the people who follow them. In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Scotland is thrown into turmoil when king Duncan dies. Throughout the play Malcolm, the king’s eldest son, exhibits the noble traits of a just leader, whereas Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, is the epitome of poor leadership skills. Both men are motived to do good and bad things. As well as being intelligent, Macbeth uses his brains contrary to those of Malcolm.

We believe that to obtain a position of power we must acquire, or presently have traits of deception, force, and manipulation, although the people who think this are dead wrong. People with the greatest amount of power get authority through ambition, responsibility, and motivation. In the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, it shows a story about a fictional tragedy in which a strong scottish general named Macbeth receives news from witches that he will one day become king. The new king of Scotland would be him one day. He created a large amount of confidence and ambition out of this tale, that he comes to his goal by killing the king to take the throne of the now deceased, king Duncan. The power Macbeth obtains corrupts Macbeth and leads to him being a manipulative, overpowered leader. Macbeth has absolute power and goes against all laws of nature to get to that point of obtaining the position he eventually has through cheating god.

In order for a person to want to succeed in life, that person must possess certain traits that will allow them to traverse any bumps that try and slow down their path. Traits such as pride and confidence will allow a person to succeed in life, but too much of either trait can be detrimental to a person. If a person becomes too proud or too confident, their ego will lead them to believe that they are untouchable, causing them to become comfortable with their situation and letting their guard down. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the main character, Macbeth, becomes too powerful for his own good, causing a significant change in his character from the beginning to the end of the play. As Macbeth’s character grows throughout the play, his lust for power, his fears, and his confidence lead him to act in a destructive way, leading Macbeth to his demise.

Since Macbeth believes that he must kill Duncan to achieve his goal of becoming king quickly, Macbeth subdues his feelings and thoughts to become more "masculine." From the start, Macbeth recognizes his need to separate his mind from his actions, because his mind overpowers his will to act. Macbeth has the capacity to perform the deeds necessary to achieve his goal; obviously, from the first description of him in the play describing his prowess on the battlefield, he can kill Duncan. However, he is unable to carry them out because he is too caught up in his imaginings. Therefore, instead of overthinking everything, he suppresses his thoughts and begins to act rashly. For instance, he kills Duncan 's guards spontaneously, and then plots the deaths of Macduff 's family, Banquo, and Fleance, without even consulting his wife. He expresses his need to carry out his actions without extended thought, saying, "Strange things I have in head, that will to hand, / Which must be acted ere they may be scanned" (3.4.141-2). This quote brings in elements of the meta-theatrical, since Macbeth 's plans "must be acted" by the player onstage. If they aren 't being performed onstage, then they are being read and "scanned," alluding to the analysis of the play through poetic scansion. Although we do not directly consider metrical elements in this paper, this line still refers to what we are currently doing—analyzing the play. Regardless of the medium through which we experience these lines, this

Macbeth is a play written by Shakespeare where the main character Macbeth makes his way from battle and comes across three witches that call him upon his future before it actually takes place.

Lady Macbeth’s role is significant in Macbeth’s rise and fall from royalty. She is Macbeth’s other half. During Shakespearean times, women were regarded as weak insignificant beings that were there to give birth and look beautiful. They were not thought to be as intelligent or equal to men. Though, Lady Macbeth is the highest influence in Macbeth’s life. Her role was so large; in fact, that she uses her position to gain power, stay strong enough to support her unstable Lord, and fails miserably while their relationship falls apart. Lady Macbeth has the ability to manipulate everyone around her.
