Macbeth Act 1.7 is a quintessential example of an author’s mastery of rhetoric. Shakespeare uses his skills to reveal the character’s emotional conflicts through the use of tropes and schemes. First, he highlights Macbeth’s inner battle with morality, and continues with an external power struggle between Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth. As the performer of the soliloquy, I had the challenge of portraying Macbeth as an expression of his own thoughts. For the performance of Act 1.7, my group and I analyzed the use of rhetorical strategies to craft an interpretation of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and their shared conflict of killing King Duncan.

Water supports a seed to grow into a beautiful flower, just as Christopher Marlowe’s works watered the seed of the Renaissance and Elizabethan literature. The Renaissance was characterized by new ideas and thinking, which created many influential writers from this time. Christopher Marlowe is known as a talented writer from the late sixteenth through early eighteenth centuries.

Marlowe was considered the most important playwright before Shakespeare, but his entire career lasted six years because of his untimely death when he was twenty-nine. His most famous work, Doctor Faustus, is based on the Faust Legend, a German classic, in which a scholar sells his soul to the devil in exchange for more power and knowledge (Biography.com). Christopher Marlowe’s tragic play, The Tragic History of Doctor Faustus, had major influences in the development of Elizabethan literature during the mid-sixteenth century in England.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" is a prime quote in Shakespeare's Macbeth as it sets a predominant tone throughout the play where things are not what they seem (1.1.12). This being said ambiguity and equivocation come to be a major part in the story as Macbeth is promoted Thane of Cawdor and wishes to become king. Such wishes though come with cruel actions as Macbeth targeted anyone in his way. Though seemingly heartless Macbeth is full of "human kindness" until his wife, Lady Macbeth, makes him a "man" (1.5.16).

On the other hand Shakespeare was self-schooled after the age of 15, showed little interest in current ideals or philosophic ideas. Shakespeare used his personal observation and experiences to understand human nature. He had amore objective view of reality than Marlowe did. When we compare some of Marlowe’s tragedies with those of Shakespeare’s we discover several more similarities. Both Marlowe and Shakespeare create their hero’s as tragic heroes with some sort of flaw in their character that eventually causes their demise, a demise that would cause feelings of pity for the hero. One difference in the two writers is that Shakespeare liked to use the supernatural to enhance the sense of mystery, for example the witches in Macbeth or the ghost in Hamlet. Where as Marlowe’s tragedies had no such mystery and one could follow the course of the events and foresee the tragic doom without much difficulty.

Shakespearean tragedy is the title given to most tragedies written by the playwright William Shakespeare. “Shakespearean tragedy began, roughly speaking, with marked indebtedness to the tragic writing of Marlowe and Kyd: poetry, character, and style from Marlowe; motive, plot, and tragic intensity from Kyd. No evidence suggests Shakespeare was ever particularly aware of or influenced by, Aristotelian theories of tragedy”. (Bevington, 1980) The plays we usually have in mind when we think about Shakespearean tragedy are the classics like Titus Andronicus (written between 1590-94), Romeo and Juliet (1594-96), Julius Caesar (1599), Hamlet (1599-1601), Othello (1603-04), King Lear (1605), Macbeth (1606-07), Antony and Cleopatra (1606-07), and Coriolanus (1608) derived from Plutarch. Troilus and Cressida, Timon of Athens, and Cymbeline were listed as tragedies in the First Folio. Characteristics of a Shakespearean tragedy are found in many of his histories, but since they are from real figures throughout England’s history, they were classified as “histories” in the First Folio. Exceptions from this are the Roman histories, also from historical figures: Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus.
