Why Are There So Many Murders In Macbeth
The play Macbeth is all about murder. There are several murders that take place throughout the play. The majority of the murders are considered dishonorable violent murders. The reason as to why so many murders take place is all because Macbeth wants to become a king of many powers.
The murder of King Duncan (King of Scotland) is dishonorable, because the witches in the beginning of the story mentioned Duncan would one day take place on the thrown. Macbeth of course did not want anything to take his power away from him. So Macbeth had to murder Duncan when the time was right to ensure that he stays king. Duncan paid a visit to Macbeth’s castle at Inverness one night for a feast Macbeth invited him to attend. After Lady Macbeth drugs the guards of the king's chamber, Macbeth then goes to the king's room. On his way to Duncan’s chamber Macbeth in visions a dagger leading the way, he then ask himself, “Is this a dagger which I see before me?” (Lines 32-33). He then kills Duncan in his sleep.

    Macbeth's actions are so heavily defined by the one thing he desires most: an heir for his kingdom, for which he has sacrificed so much to attain (he murdered his King and a great many innocent others, destroyed his courtly reputation, gave his own life). By sacrificing all he did to attain power for his future child, Macbeth only succeeds in solidifying the claim of another mans (Duncan, later Banquo) children to the throne: "the Weird Sisters...have given the real future to Banquo." (Brooks 41) Banquo, unlike Macbeth, passively accepts the Witches' prophecy, whereas Macbeth actively conspires to "fulfill his destiny" which results in his own death and the end of his family…

    a)Why does Macbeth refer to the dagger as a fatal vision?Macbeth refers to the dagger as a fatal vision (II.i.36) because it foreshadows his deadly intent to kill King Duncan. Macbeth is obviously under great mental torment, which is the cause of his hallucination of the imaginary dagger. He imagines the dagger, covered with gouts of blood (II.i.46), leading him to Duncans room. This image shows Macbeths fatal ambition as he follows his desire (the dagger) to kill King Duncan with a dagger which will eventually be covered with King Duncans own blood.…

    Macbeth is paranoid of losing his position, he wants to keep it to himself as well as to his descendants. As the three witches described Banquo: “Lesser than Macbeth and greater, not so happy yet much happier, thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.”, implying that Banquo is the root of many kings, Banquo and his son is a threat to Macbeth’s crown(1.3.68-70). Macbeth plans an assassination of Banquo and Fleance while they are on a ride before the dinner at Macbeth’s castle(3.1.129-144). Banquo is murdered and Fleance flees(3.3.29-30). Banquo’s ghost shows up at the dinner and scares Macbeth. Even though Macbeth doesn’t regret killing Banquo, he is still conscious of his terrible actions and the guilt of bringing Banquo to the end of his life. Macbeth at this point has become ruthless enough to murder his close…

    While Macbeth is awaiting the signal that King Duncan is sleeping, which will summon him to commit the murder, Macbeth is struck by a vision of a dagger. This “dagger of the mind” symbolizes Macbeth’s last minute doubt and the choice of committing the murder that he is still facing (2.1.38). Even within his vision, Macbeth does not have hold of the transient knife; he has not reconciled himself to the inevitability of his treachery even at this late point. The illusionary dagger is in stark contrast to the physical dagger Macbeth pulls from his side.…

(shakespeare II.I 44-45) Macbeth feels so guilty about killing Duncan that he starts to hallucinate about the weapon he used to kill Duncan but he did not kill him because he was feeling guilty, Macbeth killed Duncan purely out of ambition to be king. By macbeth wanting to “clutch thee” shows that he has made a huge decision to follow his ambition to be king by any means necessary.Lady Macbeth finds out about what Macbeth’s encounter with the witches and what he was told by them and she says, “Art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.” (Shakespeare I.5 19-20) This shows that Lady Macbeth, who is shown to be a heartless, and a power hungry woman believes that Macbeth is capable of being able to obtain the rank of king if he wants to, but is too kind to carry out the necessary actions. Even though some may say that Macbeth’s downfall is caused by his guilt, it is actually his ambitions that lead him to commit horrible crimes which later leads to Macbeth feeling…

    Macbeth had done a lot to become king. He murdered his cousin, King Duncan and anyone else who he thought would reveal the truth that he was true murderer. He also went against his ethics. Two of the people Macbeth ordered to be murdered were his honorable friend Banqou, and Banquo’s son Fleance. Macbeth murdered Banquo for two reasons. The first reason was his fear of Banquo’s nobleness. In Macbeth’s soliloquy he states, “There’s something noble about him (Banquo) that makes me fear him. He’s willing to take risks, and his mind never stops working. He has the wisdom to act bravely but also safely. I’m not afraid of anyone but him…” Macbeth is worried that Banquo will reveal that Macbeth killed King Duncan since Banquo suspected Macbeth. Another reason was because Banqou was told by three evil witches that, “Thou shalt get kings, thought thou be none” so Macbeth figured that he should have Banqou murdered to stop Banquo…

    Macbeth's treason in murdering Duncan is blatantly an erroneous choice. Macbeth initially rationalises his choices, reasoning that "If chance will have me king, why chance may crown me / Without my stir" [1:III:142-143], and that it would be unseemly to assassinate Duncan "First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, / Strong both against the deed; then as his host, / Who should against his murderer shut the door." [1:VII: 13-15]. He also realises that "He (Duncan) hath honour'd me of late" [1:VII: 32], generosity which defies his morale conscience in killing Duncan. All rationales for not murdering Duncan are sound; yet Macbeth eventually opts to kill Duncan in order to satisfy his "…black and deep desire" [1:V:51] of gaining kingship. Macbeth had many opportunities to choose another path, but he abided by the dagger which "…marshall'st me the way I was going" [2:I:42], a representation and foreshadowing of the violent and bloody path he would later ‘build' his kingdom on. Although Macbeth recognises "the consequence" [1:VII: 3] which would follow after murdering Duncan, he ignores such risks. Later in the play, it is the cumulative effect of such recklessness and consequences which leads to his downfall. After the murder, Macbeth believes that that "…all great Neptune's ocean (will not) wash this blood / Clean from my hand" [2:II:63-64], indicative of a…

    “Is this a dagger which I see before me,/ the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.” (2.1.33-34). He realizes that the dagger is just an image in his mind, but decides that it is a result of his fear and continues with the task. This is the first point where Macbeth shows a sign of a mental breakdown, although he is still able to think somewhat rationally. This ultimately evolves into a hardened Macbeth and causes him to continue with his horrific actions until he is out of control. The murder of King Duncan is followed by the murders of many others, including his closest friend Banquo. The build-up of guilt begins the affect Macbeth’s mental state more and more until he can no longer think straight. He begins to hallucinate and on occasion has visions of the ghost of Banquo.

    Macbeth’s imagination also convinces him to do the deed through ambition. When the witches give him and Banquo the prophecies, he flinches in a way. To the audience it’s almost like someone is reading his mind. After they address him as king, Macbeth has many asides and in one he says this,“Let light not see my black and deep desires…”(333). He was clearly already thinking of becoming king long before these three weird sisters came to him with their prophecies. As Macbeth continues into the story he is overcome by his ambition and Lady Macbeth even uses it against him to convince him to kill the current king.…

    “Or heaven’s cherubin horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air, shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself And falls on th’ other” (Shakespeare 20). To have committed treason, one must have put their country at risk by planning on killing the sovereign for their own benefit. Macbeth knew that killing King Duncan would be for his own ambition. Although Lady Macbeth was the one who planned the killing, Macbeth committed the action. Knowing what he was doing was going to have a great effect on the people of Scotland, he still went ahead and killed the king, blaming it on the knights. Macbeth’s wife, the witches, and his ambition for the throne influenced him to commit treason, all to be a step closer to the…

    What Is Macbeth's Ambition

    • 1080 Words
    • 5 Pages

    After the three witches, or weïrd sisters, tell Macbeth about his future of becoming king, he became fixated on the sense of his head being adorned with the crown. While it was not his intended idea to kill the king, he does so in order to satisfy his desire to have the crown on his head. While Macbeth may have felt guilty of his deed, his ambition led him to slay the lives of more innocent people in order to keep his objective from failing. In fact, Macbeth’s aspiration to rule without the pressure or the questioning of others gave him the motivation to murder his best friend, Banquo. Macbeth states, “Whose loves I may not drop, but wail his fall Who I myself struck down. And thence it is, That I to your assistance do make love, Masking the business from the common eye For sundry weighty reasons” (Act 3, scene 1 Pg. 89 Shakespeare). Macbeth was so determined to remove any threats to his reign that he became daring enough to hire someone to murder his friend and his family. Macbeth’s ambition took control of the situation, and because Macbeth needed to satisfy his ruthless desire, he preformed the immoral act of murder. As Napoleon Bonaparte once stated, ambition can be used for good or bad acts, depending on the values that are influencing these motivations. Macbeth, seeing the only way to become king was commit murder, was motivated and so determined to take the…

    “Is this a dagger which I see before me,/the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee./ I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.”(Act 2.1) The dagger isn’t really there and it seemingly guides him to Duncan’s bedside where he promptly stabs him, From then on out Macbeth falls more and more into paranoia thinking everybody is out to get him, this paranoia leads him to distrust his right hand man and through fear has him killed, while Fleance had escaped unintendedly. After killing Banquo his delusions get worse to the point where he sees and yells at his ghost at dinner and his wife plays it off as him being sick. “Here had we now our country’s honour roof’d,/Were the graced person of…
