    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…

    Should Macbeth murder the king? This seems to be the dilemma in the story. The three witches were the ones that allured Macbeth into the thought that he could one day be king. If Macbeth was to pull through with his wife’s plan, and murder the king, it could go one of two ways. One way, if Macbeth goes through with this, is that he would become king. Macbeth would be elated at the fact that he is king, but the plan could also end badly. Macbeth could attempt to kill the king, and if the king somehow survived, then he would be severely punished. Macbeth could also kill the king, but than have to live in regret, no longer being ingenuous. “I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat” (Macbeth Act 1 Sc 7 li. 79-80).

    Use Of Fear In Macbeth

    • 271 Words
    • 2 Pages

    However, after Duncan’s death in Act II.I, Macbeth’s use of fear becomes more personal and revolves around how he could secure the throne, pushing him into uncontrollable ruthlessness and recklessness. He is “bound in /To saucy doubts and fears (III. IV)”, unable to rest until he removes all possible obstacles in his path to maintain his hold on the crown. This fear stems from having people find out of the murder and, mirroring his sentiments before Act II.I, from losing his current status of thane of two areas, then King of Scotland. Until the very end, Macbeth’s actions show his insecurities, tightly revolving around his greed. He tries to do anything to keep the throne, and in the end, even almost gives up the fight because Macduff “cow’d…

    Within the drama Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, multiple characters meet their untimely demise for similar reasons, but both have vastly different repercussions- not only upon the other characters, but also upon the plot of the play. Lady Macbeth showcases these differences in her reactions to two of the deaths within Macbeth. After Macbeth has killed Duncan- the king of the realm, she almost seems to not be affected by it. While Macbeth is panicking, she retains a level head- as if she couldn’t care less about the fact that her husband has murdered someone in her own house. “These deeds must not be thought of after these ways; so, it will make us mad” (Shakespeare 34). However, when Banquo is killed, Lady Macbeth is haunted by it. “I tell…

    In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare portrays Macbeth as a very heroic character who doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything. He is described as a warrior who stabbed a man in the stomach, cut him from there to the throat, and cut his head off and stuck it on a post. The type of man that would do something like this definitely does not seem like the type of man who would be nervous to become king. Even if the only way he was going to become king was by murdering the man who is currently king, and in this specific case it would be King Duncan of Scotland. Personally, I believe that Macbeth’s imagination both prompts him to commit and crime and also makes it hard for him to commit the crime because he over thinks things, he listens to his wife too much, and he desires power too much.…

    Who Is Guilty In Macbeth

    Although undoubtedly guilty of murder, there is no doubt in my mind that this is a clear-cut case of diminished responsibility. Throughout the whole sordid business the defendant whom I am representing has been beset with evil influences designed to erode his free will and conscience. If there was a penalty for the only flaw which he showed before he was mercilessly exploited by these evil forces, which was that of ambition, I believe we would all be convicted at some point in our lives. Without the manipulations of evil, the idea of kingship would never have occurred to the brave and loyal Macbeth, who has time and again proven his courage and fealty in battle.…

Shakespeare wrote this play to show how too much ambition can have adverse consequences on the human condition. This tragedy follows the true story of a historical Macbeth, an eleventh century king of Scotland who usurped the throne after killing his predecessor.

His ambition causes these developments. Shakespeare used Macbeth’s tragic flaw and his development over the course of the play to portray the theme of too much ambition can cause someone to do awful things they wouldn’t do otherwise.…
