Although Macbeth actually murders Macbeth, it is indirectly Lady Macbeth who murdered King Duncan by convincing her husband that he needs to murder the king. Macbeth does the physical murdering of King Duncan, but Lady Macbeth, it can be said, succeeded in convincing him that he must murder the King. Also, in a sense, the witches are to be held responsible for the murder because it is after the prophecy about Macbeth's succession that these tragedies occur. This ignites Macbeth's ambition to want to be king. The witches expect this when they tell Macbeth about their "prophecy" and they know of the bloodshed and death that it will cause.…

Even The Wildest Beast Can Be Tamed Everyone is guilty of feeling resentment, whether it is towards someone, something, or yourself. More often than not, the recognition of one 's error is not until there is time for reflection. Needless to say, everyone acts by impulse, neglecting the rational thought. Much like Macbeth (main character from the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare): his actions are determined by his impulses rather than sane reasoning.…

The play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare is a story of how the mind can take over and cause people to act irrationally. “The Two Wolves” is a fable about how each person feeds the wolves that fight within them, the “good one” and the “bad one”, and through feeding it they ensure it is the strongest. The fable applies to “Macbeth” due to the fact that Lady Macbeth is psychotic therefore feeding the “bad wolf”. The first piece of evidence displaying Lady Macbeth’s insanity is when she stated, “unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full [sic] Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood.…
If the King was aware of the conclusive plans that MacBeth had put in place, I think that the King would have given him something much different than the generous gifts that MacBeth did receive. King Duncan should have given MacBeth a restraining order because that would obligate him to stay away from the Duncan and he would have not been murdered. MacBeth would not have had the chance to murder Duncan, and none of the events that have happened would have happened because the King would still be alive. Instead of giving Banquo a negligible hug, the King should have given Banquo all of the generous gifts that he gave MacBeth. Banquo has shown nothing but loyalty to King Duncan.…

In the beginning Macbeth refused to believe in Lady Macbeth’s plan because he said “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me Without my stir (I.iv.42-44).” Lady Macbeth was planning to kill him but by the time she was ready she couldn’t kill King Duncan. Lady Macbeth…
Although the situation can be seen from either side, it is more predictable that without Lady Macbeth, there would not be a Macbeth. She was the prime influence on all of the tragic decisions made, leaving her at a higher rank than Macbeth even though he had earned the official title. She was directly obeyed by Macbeth, as well as other individuals under the direction and force of Macbeth. Lady Macbeth shows dramatic interest towards Macbeth, but proves herself to always one-up him. She is wanting to provide the safest environment for herself that could potentially lead her to have a royal title like Macbeth does.…
