Critical Analysis Review for The Great Gatsby and Macbeth
Macbeth:
1.Summary: The three witches tell Banquo and Macbeth about the prophecies, Macbeth will become King and Banquo will be a father of a line of kings. Banquo is sceptical of what is being said to him and Macbeth is hesitant to believe them at first. Ross told Macbeth that the king gave him the title of thane of cawdor and now he believed the witches.
How: Macbeth was behaving timidly, when he got told the news by Ross he automatically thought about killing the king to make the last prophecy become a reality. Macbeth was horrified of his own idea, but knew that was his only way of becoming king.
Why: Macbeth was acting this way because he knows that killing the king is wrong. He’s related to him and thinks Duncan is a great king …show more content…
