Macbeth sountrack
In act 1 scene 5 is when Lady Macbeth found out the news about how Macbeth would become the Thane of Cawdor and king for the witches. I chose the song “I Want It All” by Queen to represent this scene. Part of the songs lyrics are “I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now”. Lady Macbeth heard the news that he would be king and she right away wanted to accomplish that. She didn’t want to wait but instead she take the steps necessary to make Macbeth king as soon as possible. In act 1 scene 6 is when the king and others arrive at Macbeth’s castle to stay the night. I chose the song “Let Em In” by Paul McCartney to represent this scene. The songs lyrics are “Someones knockin at the door, somebodys ringin the bell, do me a favor, open the door and let em in”. This perfectly describes that scene because when King Duncan arrives Lady Macbeth is there to let them in. She already has a plan figured out for them and can’t wait to execute it. In act 3 scene 4 I chose the song “I’m Going Slightly Mad” by Queen to represent this scene. In the scene Macbeth is having a dinner party and notices that all the seats are taken. When he sees that his seat is taken by the ghost of Banquo he starts talking to the ghost who is invisible to everyone else. The lyrics “I’m going slightly mad” describe how Macbeth was acting really strange and made the guests question him. The ghost later came back and made Macbeth have an outburst again alarming the guests which sent them home. A symbol that is portrayed in this play is the weather. The weather plays a role in which if something bad is coming up a storm might appear. The song “The Thunder Rolls” by Garth Brooks reminds of when the witches would enter and a storm would move in. Also the night that Duncan got murdered, a terrible storm came in that night indicating that something bad happened. These natural occurrences are hints to the audience that something isn’t right and the song does a good job of describing

    During Act 1 Scene 1 we see the witches sitting around discussing when they will meet again. At the start of the scene the witches give an impression of mystery, horror and uncertainty. The scene is written in rhyming couplets so the way in which the witches speak seems like chanting especially when they speak in short sentences: “When shall we three meet again? In thunder lightning or in rain” The fact that the scene opens to the sound of thunder and lightning creates an eerie atmosphere which also adds to the effect of the evilness of the witches. This also reveals that they can predict the future and the weather. Shakespeare is revealing and influencing the attitudes of the Elizabethan audience by making the scene quite frightening.…

    You never know who you should trust because someone will end up betraying you. Much like Macbeth did to Duncan, Banquo and the whole land of Scotland in order to gain power and become Thane of Cawdor and eventually King. Macbeth betrayed Scotland, but he wasn’t the only one at fault. Lady Macbeth and the three witches took a role in the destruction and betrayal that went on in Scotland. Also, Macbeth shows his betrayal by befriending Duncan and Banquo then plotting against them and killing them in order for him to become Thane of Cawdor and King. Finally, Macbeth shows his betrayal throughout Scotland for putting the blame of the murders on someone else but having the guilt.…

    Macbeth is a play filled with murders and lies, but it is not the murderer who is responsible for the most evil in the play. The main character Macbeth kills two important characters in the play, and is responsible for the death of a third. Macbeth is still only the instrument carrying out these evil actions. Other main characters in the play are the three Weird sisters, or the three witches. They are supernatural creatures that prophesize that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and eventually king. They stir Macbeth’s ambition to ascend the throne. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s strategic wife that plans the murder of King Duncan. She uses Macbeth’s ambition to acquire more power. Lady Macbeth is responsible for the most evil in the play because she convinces Macbeth to kill the king, and sends Macbeth on a path of destruction.…

    In the era of Macbeth, many of the beliefs were based upon fate. It was a major part of the culture and how everything happens for a reason. In this play by Shakespeare, fate is corrupted by the main character Macbeth; this corruption unbalances the universe. Macbeth provides an example of contradicting the beliefs in this time frame, eventually fate restores the kingdom and the universe balances out. “Tragedy, according to Aristotle, involves usually a noble man fighting against his fate which lies in the hands of God” ( Jean-François Vernay. Literary Contexts in Plays: William Shakespeare 's 'Macbeth '). According to this quote by Vernay, it relates to Macbeth and all the other Shakespearean tragedies. In Macbeth, the main character was a noble man in the beginning and does fight against his fate. At first he tries to make his fate come faster and then later Macbeth tries to contradict it. While, it was really planned out for him the whole time. Macbeth is corrupted by power, causing him to make decisions that interfere with fate, in which witches tell Macbeth he is destined to be king; however, Malcolm is the one who is next in line. Macbeth does anything he can to get the crown which leads to chaos in the kingdom. He kills anyone who is in his way which causes the whole creation of unbalance, arrogance and power corrupts his mind, and once Macbeth is killed the kingdom is restored.…

    In act one, three witches who in turn contribute to the downfall of his character confront Macbeth. They tell him he will become Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Gladis, and King of Scotland. These prophecies arouse Macbeth’s curiosity to rise to power. Once the witches give him the prophecy of becoming king, he immediately thinks about how he can accomplish this. In Act I, he says, “If good, why I yield to that suggestion? Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair? And make my seated heart knock against my ribs. (Act I, iii. 14-137). Macbeths honorable nature seemed to fade, and was soon replaced by a “by any means necessary” attitude. Macbeths desire for power, along with swaying words from Lady Macbeth, lead to him murdering King Duncan in his sleep. This action supports the saying “No honor amongst thieves” (Act I, Scene III) Macbeth robbed Kind Duncan of his crown like a thief in the night.…
