Macbeth: The Increase of Evil Power
As one of the greatest writers, though now deceased, Shakespeare's talent stays a favorite. His best tragic piece, Macbeth, captures the absence of fidelity. Macbeth, a turbid man, experiences two hallucinations as a result of his wicked ambition. The dagger in Act I, scene i, leads Macbeth to fortitude, as Banquo's ghost in Act iii, scene iv, makes his perception quiver. While planning to kill Duncan, King of Scotland, Macbeth became very nervous. Before his sinful act, a dagger appeared floating in the air while he was waiting for the sound of the death bell. "To feeling as to sight, or art though but/ A dagger of the mind, a false creation." (II, i, 38-39) Soon after the dagger's appearance the bell rings, and Macbeth brutally kills Duncan. Macbeth's second hallucination appears in Act III, scene iv, at a banquet after he kills his best friend. Macbeth became King of Scotland after Duncan's death because he was highest of Thanes. In an attempt to keep his title, Macbeth hires two murderers to destroy Banquo. At
the banquet the ghost of Banquo appears, takes a kind seat in Macbeth's chair, and tries to blame Macbeth for his cadaver appearance. Banquo was with Macbeth when his prophecies were given, and might have an idea that Macbeth is the true murderer of Duncan. " (III, ii, 37) She had no idea what was going on. "He is already named, and gone to Scone/ to be invested. "Thou know'st that Banquo and his Fleance, lives. Before Macbeth proceeded to kill Duncan he tried to turn back "We will proceed no further," (I, vii, 31) but Lady Macbeth pushed him on questioning his manhood. For the first time since claiming the throne, Macbeth feels a little bit of his conscience. Both hallucinations are caused by the prophecies, giving Macbeth the greedy heart to kill. " (III, i, 113-116) Macbeth killed his most loyal friend over a prophecy, a prediction of the future, and over the throne.
