Women Are so Deceitful:
(A critical Analysis of Three Deceptions In Act I, and II in Macbeth) “Don’t believe everything you see” as said by D. A. Richardson, which perfectly segues into the discussion of deceit. You see deceit is one of the worst forms of evil, the evil of destroying trust. Destroying to the point of no return, so far that some people never trust again. And who could blame them? If someone breaks our hearts, it hurts and we don't like the feeling of it. So we do all in our power to stay away from it. With this taken into consideration let’s look at three uses of Deception in Macbeth. The first use of deception is fairly simple, just the deception of the traitor of Scotland. This was the first part of the play in general,

This woman really knows how to use her man, and play him like a fiddle. She knows what every man is weak for, and savagely uses it against Macbeth. She says, “And live a coward in thine own esteem’st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would,’ Like the poor cat i’ th’ adage?” (Act I, vii, 41-44) which roughly translates to, I thought I married a man with some balls step it up boy. She call to question his manhood, which makes him want to prove her wrong even more than before. Because not only did someone question his manhood, but someone he loved questioned it. You see, this is the most sinister way to deceive someone, when they put all of their trust into you and love you. No one can drop you harder than anybody that loves you. Just as Commander Thorn said in Star Wars, “To love is to trust. To trust is to believe. Deceit is the weapon of greed.” She wanted to be powerful more than even Macbeth wanted power. Honor didn't matter to her, and she knew what she was doing to her husband. This man needed her more than ever at this time, and she used him as a tool, a weapon of

    Macbeth says himself that "as his host, who should against his murder shut the door, not bear the knife myself” which reinforces that he should not go against the King and assassinate him. The dramatic irony of knowing that Macbeth will be disloyal and having already plotted against the King with the manipulation of his wife, enhances the theme of deception. Macbeth is portrayed as an innocent character to the public but behind doors with his wife, he is a serpent and is full of evil. Macbeth’s use of parallelism in “false face must hide what the false heart doth know” pervades that he will follow his rule; to hide what his heart knows by putting on a fake face. Consequently, the public will not be suspicious of him as he seems innocent from the outside and thus he can easily manipulate people as he is of high power and is a ‘good’ person.…

    Right from the start, Lady Macbeth displays a lack of humanity due to her burning passion to become queen. Through dramatic irony, readers are able to see through her amicability towards King Duncan, characterized by letting him into her own home with open arms, and ultimately, not displaying her true intentions. This passion only becomes stronger and stronger over time as she persuades Macbeth to commit murder, even going as far as questioning his “lack of courage” (Jamieson). Once there is an opportunity for Lady Macbeth to take on a role of power, she jumps at the opportunity, even going as far as convincing her husband to help her take part in gaining power (Jamieson). Based off of the actions and decisions that she made throughout the…

    In the Scottish tragedy Macbeth, William Shakespeare plays with gender roles typical of the Elizabethan era, by swapping the traditional attributes of men and women. In the society in which the play takes place, men reign supreme, independently making all decisions without consultation with, or affirmation from, subservient women. This is not the case with Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor. Instead, it is his wife Lady Macbeth, who assumes the dominant role in the marriage, defying historical gender stereotypes. Despite being the patriarch, and previously exhibiting his strength of will on the battlefield, Macbeth succumbs to manipulation by women, taking on a subservient role in his marriage.…

She asks her suitors’ permission to finish it before she marries, lest she should have spun it in vain. In reality, she does not want to marry any of the suitors, and secretly hopes that Odysseus is still alive. So she comes up with a plan to stall them: “So every day she wove on the great loom- / but every night by torchlight she unwove it, / and so for three years she deceived the Akhaians” (Homer 24.157-159).…
