deterioration of his human nature is shown whilst learning of Fleance’s health. The apparition of Banquo’s eight heirs and a last who bears a glass proves to Macbeth that his attempt to change fate has failed. Macbeth declares, “Horrible sight! Now I see ‘tis true; For blood-bolter’d Banquo smiles upon me, And points at them for his” (4.1.120-122). Macbeth’s inability to accept his unfortunate fate, further drags his mind into chaos. His ambition and hubris acts lead to the death of Banquo and his

witches, claiming he will become the king of Scotland amongst other things. While Macbeth and Lady Macbeth know each other well as husband and wife, the witches are far more distant from Macbeth.

She used persuasion to emphasize my determination to assassinate the king. The reward of becoming the king was so tempting me that I couldn’t stop thinking about being greater than other men, than the Thane of Cawdor and how much respect I would get from the nation by becoming a king, greater than any other thane or man. But I should have set my mind

When Lady Macbeth persuade her husband to kill Duncan, she said, “I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.” (Shakespeare 29). This would be the ultimate sacrifice. She says that even she knew the joy of being a mother, she would rather kill their child

The Puppet Master And The Puppets Power is a theme used by Shakespeare throughout the play Macbeth. The plot involves Macbeth trying to gain more power. Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan so that he will become king. Macbeth is also persuaded to kill anyone who threatens his chances of being king, including Banquo.

Therefore, the whole country will mourn for him when he is dead. However, Macbeth decides that he will kill Duncan as his ambitions to obtain the throne
