    • 3 Pages

    Macbeth is King Duncan’s cousin, a courageous warrior and a loyal nobleman. He comes back from the battle against the Norweyans with his new title, Thane of Cawdor, since he defeats the former Thane of Cawdor, the traitor. He then meets with the three weird sisters and the sisters tell him about his “bright” and “successful” future, the sisters tells him that he will become king and Banquo’s descendants will become king. This awakens Macbeth’s inner ambition and leads to Macbeth’s downfall. Macbeth becomes more and more ruthless and selfish after each crime he commits, and in the meanwhile, he falls deeper and deeper and eventually hits the ground and could never come back up again.…

    How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull revenge! What is a man/ If his chief good and market of his time/ Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more./ Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,/ Looking before and after, gave us not/ That capability and godlike reason/ To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be/ Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple / Of thinking too precisely on th' event—/ A thought which, quartered, hath but one part wisdom/ And ever three parts coward—I do not know/ Why yet I live to say “This thing’s to do,”/ Sith I have cause and will and strength and means/ To do ’t. Examples gross as earth exhort me./ Witness this army of such mass and charge/ Led by a delicate and tender prince,/ Whose spirit with divine ambition puffed/ Makes mouths at the invisible event,/ Exposing what is mortal and unsure/ To all that fortune, death, and danger dare,/ Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great/ Is not to stir without great argument,/ But greatly to find quarrel in a straw/ When honor’s at the stake. How stand I then,/ That have a father killed, a mother stained,/ Excitements of my reason and my blood,/ And let all sleep—while, to my shame, I see/ The imminent death of twenty thousand men,/ That for a fantasy and trick of fame/ Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot/ Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,/ Which is not tomb enough and continent/ To hide the slain? Oh, from this time forth,/ My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth! (IV.iv.34-68)…
