"Have you seen Gwen?" Lancelot slurred as Merlin joined him at the table. Since he'd offered to refill her goblet, Morgana had refused to let him out of her sight until that moment. First, she'd taken him around the room to introduce him to some of her favorite knights. He'd been too polite to mention that he'd already been acquainted with them earlier in the evening. Then she'd invented a clever game. She'd point out various guests, laughingly demanding that Lancelot tell her their names. If he

In Macbeth, William Shakespeare utilizes Macbeth as means to convey the theme of fate versus free will, and to emphasize how his decision to act ambitiously to prove his masculinity has led to his tragic downfall. At the beginning of the play and towards the end, the witches gave Macbeth prophecies of his fate, which spurred him to take certain actions and be cautious.

In a sliver of the start of the play, Lady Macbeth is presented as ruthless, manipulative and ambitious, almost completely able to get what she wants, although Macbeth had thoughts about killing the king, the witches and Lady Macbeth really pushed him over the edge and compelled him to go through with the murder of Duncan. Lady Macbeth is further shown to be ambitious by the fact she wished to be a man so she could go through with the murder herself, and that she dehumanises her husband for being

restrained to a specific dialogue beat function. The entire scene should have an air of mystery and intrigue, slowly growing much more sinister as talk of baby dashing grows. In this scene, Lady Macbeth shows how evil she is willing to become while Macbeth is having a moment of conscientiousness, therefore Lady Macbeth must have the power in this scene. The actress should be aggressive with Macbeth, berate him, the scene should be fairly uncomfortable; it is essentially a scene in which an abusive

As the play Macbeth starts out, the main character, Macbeth, is seemingly considerate and loyal to his area and to his king. As time goes on, a different side to Macbeth is created, a not so good side. Macbeth is like a new politician. He starts out considerate and loyal, and ends up being corrupt due to outside forces such as the witches. Macbeth is stopped by three strange sisters who prophesize some unthinkable prophesies. First Witch. All hail Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Glamis. Second Witch

In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare goes through the stages of insanity after Macbeth goes to some witches for information, is pressured by his wife to commit some crimes and once he kills for success. In the beginning of the play, a naive Macbeth has a visit with three witches. These witches tell Macbeth all of these things that he will soon amount to. They say Macbeth will become Thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and he will be the king in the future (Act 1, Scene 3, lines 48-51). Macbeth was only
