Chnages in Macbeth
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most genuine characters, due to the fact that he displays true human weaknesses, such as when falling into temptation. These weaknesses bring about significant character changes, enhancing this tragedy's plot. Events such as the elevating prophecies of the three witches, the degrading taunting sessions of his wife, the murder of King Duncan, the murder of Banquo and the Macduff family, and his last visit to the witches heath."All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!" "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!" "All hail, Macbeth! That shalt be king hereafter." These are the first prophesies made by the Witches, when Macbeth and Banquo, coming back from the battlefield, encounter them in the heath during foul weather as they had predicted. This occurs in Act 1, Scene 3, carefully placed by Shakespeare to foreshadow the events to come. Macbeth was an honest man, but burning with a desire for more, by prophesizing his future to him they added fuel to the fire. The Witches tempted Macbeth with a sense of hope for the future. He was a courageous Scottish general who was not naturally inclined to commit evil deeds, yet he deeply desired power and advancement.
In Act 4, Scene 1, Macbeth returns to the heath to demand for further revelations. "(Act 4 scene 1) Believing that these prophecies will never come, Macbeth drops his guard. "Not only does Lady Macbeth question his manhood but his honor, his love, and his courage. Seeing things from Macbeth's point of view it would seem as if he had been given an ultimatum. When he hesitates to murder, she repeatedly questions his manhood until he feels that he must commit murder to prove himself. The murder was done in the dark as Duncan's was. In Act 1 scene 7 lines 1 through 27, Macbeth's conscience evokes thoughts about killing the king. " "Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him. , letting'I dare not' wait upon 'I would',. The Witches present Macbeth with three more prophecies, which make him believe he is immortal. After hearing what could be in store for him, he cannot stop pondering the possibilities. He is now frantic, angry, and not steady in his demeanors until he rationalizes the event and Lady Macbeth questions him as before.
