The Change Of Macbeth In Shakespeare's Play

   In the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, the characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth decide, in a great fit of ambition, to kill King Duncan.  Later in the play we see the same two characters undergo a transformation in their personalities after murdering the King.  Macbeth begins the play as a noble soldier and gradually changes into an ambitious and murdering tyrant.  Lady Macbeth begins as a strong, ambitious woman who dominates her husband and gradually changes into a weak and guilt-ridden woman.  This essay will explore the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth before and after the murder of King Duncan.

"This dead butcher and his fiend like queen"(V.viii.80) is the way Malcolm describes Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.  The characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth changed considerably during the course of the play, Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare.  In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is seen as a courageous soldier who is loyal to the King.  As the play progresses, Macbeth is corrupted by the witches’ prophecies and by his and Lady Macbeth’s ambition. Because of the weakness of Macbeth’s character and the strength of Lady Macbeth’s character, Lady Macbeth is able to easily influence him.  Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth toward evil at first, but after he realizes what he has done, it is his decision to

The relationship among Macbeth and Lady Macbeth alters throughout the play Macbeth as they both in turn take on the role of the more dominant character. Their attitude to each other constantly changes throughout the play, although events in the play certainly draw Macbeth and Lady Macbeth apart their love for one another is evident throughout the play. Macbeth shows his love by saying a few compassionate words in his letter to Lady Macbeth about the meeting with the three weird sisters. Lady Macbeth shows that she cares for him by planning the murder of King Duncan so Macbeth can become king. By the end of the play Macbeth doesn’t care about his wife’s health that much, when she dies his taught was she was bound to die one day.

Throughout William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth develop profoundly differently over the course of the play. Macbeth’s character transforms from a noble hero to an ambitious, blood-thirsty murderer. When Macbeth is on the battlefield, he is heroic and brave by defeating the traitors of King Duncan and the Norwegian Army, and he is crowned as Thane of Cawdor. Later in the play, Macbeth cold-heartedly murders his King, a woman and her children, and his own beloved friend. This illustrates Macbeth’s drastic transformation from a hero to a murderer. On the contrary, Lady Macbeth changes from a manipulative, ruthless wife, and an accomplice to murder, into a guilt-ridden, and a paranoid madwoman who commits suicide. When Lady Macbeth and her husband are quarrelling, she insults her husband’s manliness to make him commit the murder of Duncan. Later in the play, Lady Macbeth deeply suffers from her guilt, that she becomes mad. Lady Macbeth constantly sleepwalks and washes her hands of the imaginary blood of her husband’s victims and of her ambition. It is evident that over the course of Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth develop profoundly differently throughout the play.

At the beginning Macbeth didn't want to hurt anyone, but in the middle of the play his wife Lady Macbeth had wanted to be queen so she had convinced Macbeth to kill King Duncan. He was going to go through with the plan but she made it to where he was convinced even more. The downfall was that he had been under her control so much that Macbeth had not only killed King Duncan he had also kill seven other people that had been in his way of the King. And the full change of Macbeth was that he had once been a nice man and then he had been changed into a killer just because his wife wanted to be queen. I believe that If Lady Macbeth didn't get full control over Macbeth he would still be a nice man who doesn't want to hurt anyone and if he did he

At least once in a person’s life, each individual hears “be careful what you wish for.” Be careful because unforeseen consequences may occur. But, what if one lived above everyone else? Unpleasant outcomes would never happen, or so one who believes they exist at this level may assume.

Macbeth changed throughout the play. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth appeared to be a loyal and true subject to Duncan; however, when the witches prophesize that Macbeth have the chance to be a King, Macbeth changed. Macbeth has just won the a battle and was awarded the Thane of Cawdor; he thought that he would be given the title of The Prince of Cumberland (heir to the throne) but this title was given to Duncan’s first born Malcolm. With Malcolm being on the next line in throne, Macbeth planned to murder Duncan in order to frame Malcolm and Donalbain so that Malcolm will be strip off of his title. At first, Macbeth was hesitant; however, Lady Macbeth became an influence to Macbeth to commit murder in order to be king. Macbeth’s actions shows how can some individuals are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. Macbeth killed Duncan; Macbeth killed someone for the sake of getting what he wants.

The story of Macbeth transpires in 11th Century Scotland towards the end of the Dark Ages in Europe. The direction the tale will take based on the period of time correlates well, as a bloody power struggle unfolds upon the land. Through the play, William Shakespeare involves a tremendous amount of character involvement and influence within the play. The majority of the characters in the book will face either an interpersonal or intrapersonal conflict, which in turn will play a part in character development. Each and every character in the play are used as a key role of how it impacts other characters growth and change. Nevertheless, Macbeth ,the main character in the play, undergoes massive changes that lead to the audience’s change in perspective.

The play Macbeth is about a character named Macbeth who ultimately crumble under the pressure and changes himself not for the better. It can be argued that three things were a playing factor as to why Macbeth changed into the killer he is. These three things are, the three witches from the beginning of the play, Macbeth wife, and evidently Macbeth himself. The beginning of the play starts with the introduction of three witches these witches are the start to Macbeth's downfall. The second and third contribution to Macbeth's destruction is his wife and himself, they provoke the problem further changing each of them not for the better.

May one's guilt be so prevalent that it changes ones character? In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth's character evolves throughout a short period of time. Starting off as a well-liked nobleman, Macbeth finds himself caught up in perception which causes him to partake in violent actions. These new behaviors and actions become a norm for Macbeth leading to a loss in his before-known superior qualities. Thus, behavior overall changing Macbeth’s attitude and overall character; evolving from a good to evil character in a matter of a few acts.

The relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth dramatically changes after the terrifying act of murdering King Duncan. After this event their relationship rapidly deteriorates. Lady Macbeth started to control Macbeth and was willing to. This explains that there is change in their once healthy relationship. Further throughout the play they both change as individuals grossly changing the relationship. After the death of Duncan Lady Macbeth slowly loses her sanity and pulls back from her previous ambitions. Macbeth is informed by the doctor that Lady Macbeth has become sick in the head.

Another major difference is the location. In Shakespeare’s play, most of the story takes place inside different castles around Scotland. Act 2, scene 2 takes place in Macbeth’s castle and act 5, scene 1 takes place in a room in Dunsinane Castle. In the film, it is quite the opposite. Most of the film takes place outside in the great nature, which also makes the film devastatingly gorgeous to look at.

After obtaining kingship through the murder of King Duncan; we start to perceive Macbeth’s behaviour to completely change; from a man full of moral awareness, to one whom goes against the morals and reality of life. Macbeth’s behaviour has significantly changed or been altered from the beginning of the play right to the end. Initially, Macbeth attained a well-behaved and loyal demeanour, in which is indicative through the manner in which he honours King Duncan; "The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself."

Throughout the tragedy the Three Witches (along with the prophecy), Macbeth's himself, and Lady Macbeth were motivational factors that manipulated Macbeth into committing murder and treason. Although it is Macbeth who is at blame for his actions, it is these three motivational factors that caused him to complete those actions. If it were not for these
