Macbeth misc10
Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, is one of literature's greatest tragedies. Shakespeare wrote the play in 1605 and based it on events that took place in eleventh century Scotland. It is one of his best plays and is still studied around the world. The play focuses on the character Macbeth. During the course of the play, Macbeth changes from noble, to guilt-ridden, and finally to evil. Macbeth shows his nobility in the early scenes of the play. After a fierce battle, one of King Duncan's captains tells the king of Macbeth's great fighting skill and valor in killing one of the king's enemies, Macdonwald (Act I, Scene 2, Lines 16-24). This shows Macbeth's bravery. Later, King Duncan states, "What he hath lost, noble M
Macbeth feels he has done an unforgivable crime and can no longer refer to God. Macbeth's guilt finally turns to evil as he murders and shows no remorse of his actions. King Duncan is referring to the title, Thane of Cawdor, which he gives to Macbeth as a result of the previous holder's treachery. With that statement, Macbeth shows that he does not desire another person's position. In the beginning of the tragedy, Macbeth is a noble person. Macbeth feels that nothing could clear his guilty conscience. In the latter stages of the play, Macbeth becomes evil. Macbeth has become evil enough to murder his best friend. He later states, "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No. This time, he kills Macduff's family because he thinks Macduff is a traitor to him (Act IV, Scene 2). Macbeth asks why he has been dressed in borrowed robes (Act I, Scene 3, Lines 109-110). Macbeth fells threatened by Banquo and employs murderers to kill his former friend (Act III, Scene 1).
