Macbeth
In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Macbeth starts the play as a model citizen. He has been loyal to the king and caring to his wife. However, when told about thepossibility of becoming King his mind starts to turn. He starts off as thinking the prophecyis nothing but a joke. However, with becoming Thane of Cawdor he begins to believe hecan make the prophecy happen. When he first kills the King he is remorseful and wisheshe could take it back. Then as he keeps on killing his soul begins to become uglier.Macbeth first seems to be a good and kindhearted person, but through the revelation ofthe prophecies Macbeth's character turns evil as he strives to fulfill the prophecies on his In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth when we first encounter Macbeth he is aman of good character. He is a loyal subject and a worthy soldier. He is admired andloved by his peers. This is seen in the opening act when Macbeth wins a battle in ForresScotland. He is praised and noted by the King, and on his way back home he encountersthe weird sisters for the first time. The sisters tell Macbeth what is in store for him in thenear future, "All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis! A
Thishappens exactly as the weird sisters tell Macbeth. his disregard for human life is what loses his battle for his soul. Giveme my armour"(Shakespeare 184). Therefore it is thought the revelations ofthe prophecies that Macbeth becomes a cruel and evil person with no regard for life. Without the witches putting there thoughts in to Macbeth'shead that he could become king he probably would not have thought about killing Duncan. WhenMacbeth kills Duncan he is very nervous and very reluctant in doing it. With Macbeth doing anything to become king after the witches said he would. With the killing of the king after he does not receive satisfaction after his repentionkilling becomes a second nature, but after he kills the first time he shows repentance andthis shows he is a good kindhearted person. ll hail, Macbeth! hail tothee, thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king here after. Once Macbeth realizes this he trys to doanything to make sure that the witches said would not come true. Macbeth caught on to what Macduff believed so he sent people out to killMacduff and all of his family. Thou shalt getkings, though thou be none: So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!"(Shakespeare 30). Macbeth rejects this at first and refuses.
