  • Essay / Lady Macbeth by William Shakespeare - 762

    'Macbeth' is Shakespeare's shortest tragic play in which the main character, Macbeth, becomes the tragic hero. He begins as “a noble lord” and ends as “evil Macbeth”. But who or what is responsible for Macbeth's tragic downfall? I believe that Macbeths is partly responsible for the tragic events that take place, including the murder of King Duncan, Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. However, Macbeth was influenced by supernatural witches and strict pressure from his wife, Lady Macbeth. The themes of destiny, ambition, greed, and virility are expressed in Macbeth's action and his tragic fall. First, Macbeth is partly responsible for the tragedy that befell him. He has always harbored a desire to be king, as shown in his monologue after the witches' prophecies, where he admits that his desires are not just "dark" but "deep", and the play traces his journey from worthy Thane to " dead ". butcher", fueled by brutal ambition. The events of the play trace back to Macbeth himself as a character. Macbeth is a good man who uses his best assets - his ambition - to excess, leading to his downfall. He is a classic tragic hero. Macbeth chose to listen to the witches and his wife. His ambition drove him to fight bravely in the first battle and win the title of Thane of Cawdor. could become king, his ambition has taken over his mind and he will do anything - including killing the king he loves, under his own roof - to satisfy this ambition As the play progressed, he became. a cold and unfeeling man He has lost his mind and is driven by immoral thoughts that make him act as quickly as he thinks. He has let superstition, greed and evil take over his mind, which has resulted. many deaths. He turned away from the role he has in the play. One can only wonder if Macbeth ever had a chance to do what was right, after hearing the witches' prophecies. In conclusion, I believe that the witches' supernatural prophecies, Lady Macbeth's strict pressure, and Macbeth's greedy ambition and betrayal add to the problem. tragic events that take place in Shakespeare's "Macbeth". “Brave Macbeth” at the beginning of the play succumbs to pressure, expectation, and greed to become “devil Macbeth” in the final lines of the play. Things couldn't have been worse for Macbeth. He had many chances to avoid disaster, but once he decided to kill Duncan, he lost control. The play is a “perfect storm” of choice and destiny. Shakespeare's play ends in tragedy, as most of the main characters end up murdered or commit suicide; However, Good prevails over Evil and peace and justice are restored to Scotland.
