Macbeth's Dramatic Change

The witches have a profound effect on Macbeth's actions and his character development throughout the play. They gave Macbeth a false belief with seemingly true statements about his destiny. Instead they prove to cause him to do harmful actions because of his over confidence in the witches prophecy. THe witches are the ones who actually implant the thought of killing Duncan into the realms of Macbeth's mind. However, if the cause was merely the

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth’s character starts off as a loyal and brave soldier, who is admired by many people. Throughout the play, however, it is evident that his character and the personality of his character change a lot. There are many aspects that changed his character. What the witches said to him I think changed him the most. Before the witches spoke to him, he didn’t think of what it would be like to be king, or any of the other things, but because the first prediction came true, it led him to believe all the others would as well. The witches are what started him off thinking of how powerful he could become. Obviously his wife talked him into it, but without what the

MacBeth is influenced by his wife to kill Duncan, wasn’t so much of her influencing him it was more of her challenging his manhood. With him being king in a war he had to uphold his reputation for being “tough”, which means that he did not want the enemy to think of him and lesser of a man than he really was. If you can’t look up to someone who’s king, masculine, and a war hero who else are you supposed to look up to. In my view I think this was Macbeth’s softspot, he always wanted to seem like a competitor he always wanted to be the victor. MacBeth had a problem with leaving things alone he could have not been dethroned, had he just killed Dunkin, and Macduff. He killed Banquo because the people viewed him as a well respected and royal man, and in Macbeth’s eyes this was a potential threat that had to be dealt with.

While Macbeth shows to have the least influence upon himself and the witches have a significant amount

Once Macbeth was given more power his ego grew rapidly and everything just went downhill from there. He became thane which then lead to being king, The more power he wanted lead to him becoming more greedy, it started to control him and ruined many other lives. This play shows that no matter how much someone has they still want more and are never pleased with what they

The characterization of Macbeth being power hungry and not caring about anything else is in, “We’d jump the life to come.” His ambition causes him to risk everything he has just for the throne. He sets a dark course ahead for himself in order to achieve his desires for power. This impacts Macbeth by changing him into a deceiving, backstabbing person.

One of the biggest reasons Macbeth was not suited to be king was that he could easily be swayed by devil worshippers, which had in fact had no power over him except temptation. This is evident when he had made the choice to go and pursue his unlawful conquest of power with nothing but the words of the three witches. It was also apparent that Macbeth could not justify what he had committed after killing Duncan and it had haunted him for the rest of his days. Another character flaw is the way every person Macbeth had killed or murdered haunted him showing that he was not cruel enough to hold the throne. In the big picture he had done what was acceptable at the time the play takes place because he was king at the time when

At first, viewers see Macbeth as a man who would like power, and by the end they see a selfish man who is willing to do anything to remain in power. The three witches had a very strong influence upon him, being that they could predict Macbeth’s future. “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!” (1.3.53) The third which tells Macbeth that he will become king.

Power is a very dangerous tool, a lot of people wish they were in power, whether it was amongst others, in life or even to have power over the weather. By nature humans often seek power because they like to be in control. Throughout the play the only thing lady macbeth was truly concerned about was being in control. The desire to be in control was what lead to the downfall of Macbeth because all he could focus on was the thought of being in power.

Macbeth is very distinct character the thing that makes him different from all the other characters is the amount of ambition he has. The biggest ambition that he has is to give Scotland a new king and he wants to become the one that has all the power over them. The first thing that he does is kill King Duncan  so he can get the throne and then he kills his best friend so he won't tell anyone. Most people wouldn't be willing to do the things he did because it was very dark and evil so they just wouldn't have the heart or dedication to do something so terrible it just shows how much becoming the king and taking over the throne meant to him. The witches brought on the thirst so they basically killed the king. If they would have never told macbeth that it was fate for him  to be king he never would of killed the king, or anyone else that he killed. Once he thought he could become king he couldn't get it out of his head and once his wife pushed him to do it he went through with it. Macbeth gets more evil as the play goes on. He became the villain in the play because he killed the king and he also killed his best friend Banquo, and he reached his highest point of evil when he killed Macduff’s wife and child. He made very bad decisions since he made those decisions he had to fight very hard to keep his position as the king, so he didn't let anything get in his

Macbeth is depicted at the start of the play to be a very loyal and a honest man, which changes dramatically due to the fact that Lady Macbeth (LMB) manipulates Macbeth (MB) with all her might to kill King Duncan, because LMB’s passion and selfishness driver her crazy to the equivalence of being a witch. LMB basically wants to be the queen, so that she can most of the power and so people can treat her like a literal queen. Also MB also had that little bit of ambition that was never let out before the murder of King Duncan but ever since he had killed the KIng he had been regretting ever since. Therefore making him seen as a evil person. This traces back to the real world.

In the play ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ written by Shakespeare, Macbeth is the main character and this is a story on how his life goes on. Everyone gets influenced everyday maybe for good or evil. Macbeth did not get influenced the best way possible through his life. How did the witches and Lady Macbeth influenced to take action in somethings.

There are many influences in one’s life, that may change how one acts or feels. Humans are naturally good but influences play a major role in making people evil. In the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, Macbeth was a brave and noble soldier. A few life-changing events transformed him from a brave soldier to a murderous tyrant. Macbeth was apart of some unfortunate events in which he had no control over. Macbeth was a victim of circumstances because of his good intentions, the witches prophecies, and Lady Macbeth.

The reason Macbeth did not do well is because the guilt of killing the king and his companions caught up to him and caused him to go crazy. Machiavelli had two principles which related to Macbeth. The first principal is a ruler should rule with an iron fist and the second is the ruler should not utilize cruel and unneeded penalizations. Macbeth’s immensely colossal mistake was killing people off one by one and not all at once. He ruled with an iron fist which appears when he killed Duncan, but by killing off more nobles he becomes the bad guy and people begin to fear him in a bad way. People should fear his power not be afraid because of his murder spear. When the high position officials commenced to fear for their lives, they made a plan to attack Macbeth which led to his

Macbeth was very considerate in what life had given him, but then three witches told him he would be king if he killed three certain people. He became ambitious and followed the plan of the witches, which lead to destructing himself. “ He won’t catch a wink of sleep, either at night or during the day. He will live as a cursed man.” ( Macbeth pg.11). For example in this quote the witches tell him that if he does not do what they say then he will be restless, and damned. Another example is “ I have never seen a day that was so good and bad at the sametime”(Macbeth pg.13). Which this explains how Macbeth was astonished of the news that he could be king, and bad because he had to kill people to become king. Finally the witches say “ All hail, Macbeth the future king”(Macbeth pg.15) to puch Macbeth to the idea that he was already king to them. All he had to do was kill the three people to receive the title of becoming king. This is when Lady Macbeth influenced Macbeth during the play due to his ambition taking over.
