Although Macbeth executed the plan, he was not fully aware of the deed he committed as his judgment was clouded. The Witches, or the “Weird Sisters”, are truly fault for Duncan’s murder. Throughout the play, The Witches expressed no clear motive. Witches are often associated with foul behaviour.…
Macbeth had ambition to be the prince of Cumberland and so the witches prophesied his future and made it come true. The witches ( weird sisters) prophesied Macbeth's future to make part of it come true. Lady Macbeth made Macbeth kill Duncan and then she wanted him to leave the evidence there so it will look like he killed himself. Lady Macbeth had control in the play because she didn’t like king Duncan so she wanted her husband Macbeth to kill him and she said “ Go get some water, and wash this filthy witness from your hand, Why did bring these daggers back from the place? They must lie there; go carry them; and smear the sleepy grooms”.…
He had a idea in his head given to him by the three witches and he was extremely ambitious all of these factors contributed his demise in the end and his decision to murder duncan. Macbeth has low self esteem and fell to her…
Watching Macbeth at a theatre, seeing the witches would have been terrifying and they probably thought they were real witches too. I think they would have said Macbeth was possessed by some kind of spell after talking to witches and this caused him to kill the king. I think the witches had some responsibility for the death of King Duncan, but only a slight responsibility as all they did was give Macbeth there predictions of Macbeth becoming Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland. Macbeth then took these predictions and made the decisions himself. The predictions merely aided his…
I think Macbeth wouldn’t have killed Duncan. The reason why, that Macbeth ended up convincing himself that he wouldn’t have to do anything to become king do to the fact that he became thane of Cawdor from doing what he needed because at the end of the war the king hanged the original than of Cawdor and gave the title to Macbeth for being Noble. I do believe that his wife is power hunger and convinced Macbeth to murder the king and frame the guards for his death. In my opinion Macbeth should have not said anything to his wife about what happened and what the witch’s told him then she would have never convinced Macbeth to kill Duncan. Also Duncan’s two sons would have never fled because Duncan would have never died.…
The Power Hungry Fool In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, we are introduced to a highly rewarded, noble born, young and heroic character by the name of Macbeth. He was one of the soldiers fighting for King Duncan in a battle that was taking place in Scotland, and he was named a hero for winning it. As a reward, King Duncan named Macbeth Thane of Cawdor. Since Macdonwald, former Thane of Cawdor, was executed for he betrayed the King, Macbeth was now known throughout all of Scotland as the great hero, Thane of Glamis and Thane of Cawdor.…
Therefore, he was never under the influence of supernatural powers and so we cannot say that the witches directly caused Macbeth’s own death. Regardless, Macbeth’s spiral out of control was intertwined with the witches’ influence, so it is still difficult to say if they directly caused his death. Because their influence is ambiguous, they do not appear to be a “monstrous threat”. A more effective way of portraying the witches as a menace would be to make them a larger part of the play. The witches only appeared in a few of the scenes, and when they did, we could not easily account for the effects of their actions.…
There are a lot of factors that played a role in Macbeth’s death. Macbeth’s flawed decisions, the influence of the witches and his wife and his own ambition were all contributing aspects. Shakespeare used the unfortunate tale of Macbeth to remind readers that things may not always appear to be black and white, but we all still have a choice in our actions and take fault in their…
Lady Macbeth and MAcbeth are both equally responsible for the death of king Duncan. They both played their own parts and neither one is more innocent in the murder then the other. Lady Macbeth played a part in the death of the king by being very manipulative and controlling her husband. Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband by putting his manhood into question. Lady Macbeth does this by telling him that¨When…
Lady Macbeth is responsible for the murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth had convinced her husband, Macbeth, to murder King Duncan right after he had shared his new objectiveness towards their plan of murder. He had declared that “We will proceed no further in this business”( I,vii,32). Macbeth was steadfast in his decision explaining how Duncan had been nothing but kind to him until Lady Macbeth had inquired him if he was drunk earlier and if he could change his decision so suddenly, would he change his love towards her. In addition, Lady Macbeth had continually offered support and proposed ideas; she regularly took the initiative like when she drugged the King Duncan's guards and positioned the daggers.…
The witches strongly affected Macbeth's character; they profoundly impact him in his achievements and conscious his desire. They give Macbeth an inaccurate conviction that all is well with the world with their phantoms of truths. Rather they turn out to be unsafe for Macbeth who takes a lot of solace and trust in his understanding of the truths. They are the ones who plant the genuine thought of murdering Duncan into Macbeth's psyche. Regardless, in the event that it were just the witches desires, then Macbeth undoubtedly would not have killed the King. '…
He possesses such excessive ambition bringing out the evil in him, leading to his death. Lady Macbeth plays a considerable role as she persuades him by manipulating him. The three witches influence Macbeth by embedding ideas in his mind, in which he acts upon, playing a driving force behind Macbeth’s actions, causing his downfall. Although Macbeth was influenced by fate through prophecies and the manipulation of Lady Macbeth, it was ultimately his fatal flaw ambition that precipitated his downfall. “LM and witches only served to fuel his deep and dark…
Even though the witches failed to answer his question regarding where they acquired their information Macbeth is still obsessed with their predictions as he has complete faith in them. Later in the play, Macbeth, who is ‘Bent to know by the worst; for [his] good’ (Act III, Sc IV, 135-6) approaches the witches and orders them to ‘answer [him] to what [he] asks [them]’ (Act IV, Sc I, 59-60) showing us that Macbeth purposefully seeks out the witches to give him information which he will use to guide his actions. Macbeth’s trust of the witches along with his nature are the reasons the statements they make influence the course of the…
Some will argue that the witches had control over him and the alternatives he had. The real reason why Macbeth became unhinged and continued to kill people isn’t because the witches had control over him but strictly the fact that he couldn’t handle the pressure from killing King Duncan. Macbeth was supposed to be a loyal servant to the king that he murdered violently, and because doing so he grew further and further away from all human impulses. Macbeth lost control over himself and lost his identity as a person, and no matter what he did it was going to haunt him for the rest of his days until death. Macbeth is just a man who became evil by himself, the witches just opened the window that he chose to climb out of.…
