Macbeth: Heuristic Response
"Cowards die many times before their death." Macbeth displayed many noticeable characteristics throughout Shakespeare's play Macbeth. He was courageous at times and cowardly at others. The most noticeable characteristic in my opinion was that Macbeth seemed very ambitious throughout the play. He also seems to be a moral coward as he depends on others more than himself to make decisions. All of these factors soon lead to his tragic death at the end of the play.At the beginning of Shakespeare's play, Macbeth is described as a hero very clearly. He becomes very ambitious to be king and was very loyal to the king in the opening scenes. This is shown in the quote "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, Without my stir". His ambition to be king dissolved his good nature and morality. When Duncan arrives at Inverness, Macbeth controlled his ambition for the time being and thought very firmly on the plotting of Duncan's murder. A quote by Lady Macbeth stated "My hands are of your color; but I shame to wear a heart so white". When Lady Macbeth called him a coward, before you knew it, the murder was taking place. After the successful murder of Duncan, Macbeth entered a life of evil. Ambition was also clearly stated when h
By overcoming his personal matters to plot the death of the king, Macbeth only displays that women are manipulative, and often have their way with men. Of course the Dean had a hard time believing that the cheat sheet wasn't mine, but after a while I managed to convince the Dean to allow both of us to take a retest. But to make matters worse she was dating two other guys while she was with me. After the test was over we went our separate ways. It a rather weird cycle, the man is aware of this, yet they permit it to go on, and in the end fall straight into the trap with open arms. Such was the case in my life, of two close friends, one betrayed by displaying his cowardice and the other betrayed by revealing her manipulation. This was the first girl who I had such intense feelings for and she completely managed to toy with my emotions as if it were nothing. If looked at from a rather simple point of view, guys buy flashy cars to impress women, who in exchange will manipulate the guy to have their way with him and his car. Five minutes into the test I noticed Daniel slipped a cheat sheet. Macbeth's character traits played a major role in Shakespeare's play and gave insight on the happenings to come. After the prom, a few days before graduation, ultimate act of cowardice occurred. Ever since the beginning of time women have had their way with men. In the scene where the murder of Duncan is taking place, he also shows he is a coward when he will not complete the successful murder by taking the daggers back and placing them with the guards. During this time Ashley managed to use her manipulative ways to get my young and impressionable self to buy her lavish gifts and treat her to fine cousine every now and then. After about a year I asked her out and she said yes.
