Manipulation In Macbeth

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.

When the witches reveal the prophecy to Macbeth and Banquo, Macbeth thinks killing the king will make him the new king. King Ducan makes him Thane of Cawdor to thank Macbeth for fighting for him: "What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won." (Act 1, Scene 2, Line 68) Macbeth should wait for fate to do its job, but he is so impatient he thinks he has to kill the king in order to be king. When telling Lady Macbeth, she encourages his plan. She is so pushy that she calls him a coward and tell him she will do it herself. Lady Macbeth wants to sell her soul so she can not feel the pain of taking someone's life.

Manipulation is a beautiful thing, isn’t it? I mean, it influences others in positive ways so much that sometimes they’ll even do your own dirty work. But, manipulating someone into doing something for you doesn’t make you the bad person, right? In some cases, possibly not. However, in the play Macbeth, by Shakespeare, the circumstances are a little bit different. I believe Lady Macbeth is just as guilty as Macbeth is for murdering Duncan.

Macbeth, written by the famous author, William Shakespeare, is a play incorporates the story of a tragic hero, Macbeth, who was initially good and was later influenced and corrupted by the events and characters surrounding him. The story of Macbeth is not just a story of a ruthless and ambitious murderer. It’s a story of a hero turning into a devil.

One theme we can see throughout Macbeth is that Ambition can be the downfall to even the mightiest of people. In Act One, Scene Four; Macbeth is named Thane of Cawdor, meanwhile King Duncan announces that his eldest son Malcom shall be named Prince of Cumberland and the heir to his throne. After hearing this news, Macbeth says aside “The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down, or else o’erleap, for in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done to see.” From this we can see that Macbeth truly wants to be King. Macbeth is willing to do whatever it takes to become the next King of Scotland. Later in Act One, Scene Five; Macbeth sends a messenger to deliver the news of his promotion to his wife Lady Macbeth. When hearing of Malcolm becoming Prince of Cumberland and heir of Scotland, Lady Macbeth’s true feelings come out. Lady Macbeth says “Glames thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o’th’milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great, art now without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.” Lady Macbeth wants Duncan dead, so Macbeth can become King, but she believes that Macbeth is too honorable to complete the deed without her convincing him. We can see this come to light as the play progresses, Macbeth’s manhood is challenged and he completes the evil act. This ambition does not stop in Act One, but it continues for the rest of the play which leads to both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s demise.

Although Macbeth spurred himself on again and again, he was appalled by the images of his sinful heart and cruelty. Shakespeare let us see the storm in his heart through the active imagination of Macbeth. Macbeth's imagination was the most precious element of his character, and the terrible images that kept coming up during his crime were essentially his subconscious self-protest.

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth was a fairly moral man who was well respected and had a happy marriage based on mutual respect. This all changed when the three witches spoke their prophecies. He was told that he would become Thane of Cawdor and eventually the King. When Macbeth became the Thane of Cawdor he had begun to consider the idea of killing the king to gain his title, however, he struggled with the immorality of the act. Once Lady Macbeth, who had asked the spirits to fill her body with cruelty, had attacked his manhood the thought of killing the king had become a committable reality. Over time, the act of killing the king and the attack on his manhood begins to deteriorate his mind, leading to hallucinations and sleep deprivation.

Throughout The Tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth is constantly deciding whether or not his action are justifiable. As a result of his mental battle throughout Shakespeare’s play, the demeaning mental consciousness of unrestrained ambition can be seen as one of the main themes the tragedy of Macbeth. These themes of ambition can be seen throughout many parts of Act 1 as the play progresses.
