Lady Macbeth also asks “Make thick my blood”, and “come to my womans breasts, And take my milk for gall” this is basically her asking the gods to

    Macbeth Duncan's Murder

    • 270 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Lady Macbeth is more responsible for King Duncan’s murder because she had higher ambitions than Macbeth. She forced evilness upon herself and her high ambitions pushed her to the point of no regret for murdering the king. Lady Macbeth says, “Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe topful Of direst cruelty”(1.5.30-32). This is a clear example of how her ambitions have driven her to the point of evil acts to commit this crime. The act of calling for the evil spirits in order to follow through with a murder is a good reason why King Duncan was murdered. Lady Macbeth also had not only forced herself to murder the king but to force her husband to follow through with the plan of the murder…

    “Full of sound and fury-” an encapsulating description of Justin Kurzel’s new rendition of the classic Shakespearean tragedy. Macbeth tells the tale of a Scottish lord who encounters a trio of soothsaying witches in the aftermath of a grand battle. And the battle is oh so grand a spectacle. The camera pauses several times as the armies charge one another, not for the sake of the action, but so the audience can appreciate the horrific beauty of combat.…

    In conclusion Lady Macbeth is mentally unstable. She longs for power and to become queen. But in the end she cannot handle pressure of murder and guilt on her shoulders. This is why she killed herself. The irony of it is if she didn’t guilt Macbeth into killing Duncan for not taking his chance and being a coward, she wouldn’t have felt guilty about anything at all. Because Duncan would still be alive and none of this would have ever happened. And maybe Lady Macbeth would end up sane in the end if it wasn’t for what she had…

    Is Lady Macbeth To Blame

    • 830 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Although his decision was greatly influenced by Lady Macbeth, Macbeth would have chosen not to kill Duncan had he been more humane; it also cannot be Lady Macbeth’s fault because he was the one who actually committed the murder. Before he had encountered the witches, Macbeth had a hidden desire to become king, and he had just not realized it. After murdering Duncan, Macbeth tried to reassure himself that he did the right thing by thinking that the witches foresaw him becoming king, and that Duncan would have died either way; based upon that, Macbeth thought that he might as well speed up the process of him becoming king. If he was a good-hearted, kind person who truly was forced to murder his own king, then Macbeth would have tried to make up for his crime somehow, or at least try to change his character and become a good person. However, the fact that he believed that his actions were justified shows that Macbeth was the most responsible for his…

By opening his play so such a wide audience, Shakespeare was able to impact everyone from the royals to the peasants. Within the plethora of independent battles in the play itself, there is one recurring clash in particular that serves…
