    I don’t necessarily empathize with Macbeth‚ but I do feel an iota of pity for him. I pity Macbeth for not what he is‚ but for what he could have become. He turned from a valiant war general to a bloodthirsty and power hungry shell of a man. By the end of the book‚ I felt absolutely no sorrow for him. Every decision he made was his own. Though he was influenced by the likes of the witches and Lady Macbeth early in the book‚ he was by no means forced to do anything by the end. Killing Banquo along

    I don’t agree with this statement. The play is meant to be a tragedy but we feel pity for the two central characters‚ Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Shakespeare makes the characters very accessible to the audience through the use of soliloquies. The play wouldn’t be considered such a tragedy if we didn’t feel pity for the two characters. I think that Shakespeare chose the witches to act out the first scene in order to show us the difference between pure evil‚ the witches‚ and someone under the influence

The parents could make it so their kids would want to revolt after knowing what a terrible situation it is to be in I believe that dictatorial leaders enforce children living apart from their families
