Macbeth Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Would you have thought that one could want to do something the other one doesn’t? Or will you believe that one’s heart could hold such kindness, without playing tug of war with their thoughts? MacBeth is a person who wants to leave everything to his odds, while his wife Lady MacBeth would rather take action then sit around and wait for something she could do herself. These two people are lover’s --but one won’t stop until the other is on board and King Duncan that they’re out to get ,is gone.

From the beginning MacBeth was manipulated by the three witches they came in while it was storming in Scotland to meet MacBeth after the battle’s won and lost. Now MacBeth protected King Duncan in his war versus MacDonwald he fought and they won and he was tittled with the Thane of Cawdor. His reward from Duncan “My worthy Cawdor.”. Now to backup a little the witches have all hailed to him saying, “Thane of Glamis”. “Thane of Cawdor”, and “King hereafter.” He’s vulnerable and clueless because he was so worried about a title, he didn’t know the other Thane of Cawdor was dead, nor did he know why they were calling him that. “ Stay, you imperfect speakers.

Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false”. She is doubting him , she also implies that if he wants the title he must do it. She’s a go getter they are totally different, she’s more sinful than him and calls upon a raven. Raven’s are a symbol of evil and misfortune; since he won’t do it she makes a plan by herself ,but when they aren’t on the same page things get

The irony of this statement is that King Duncan does not realize that the Thane of Cawdor will continue to deceive, except it will be under the mantle of Macbeth. With these titles Macbeth obtains more power, which fuels his ambition after a prophecy by the witches, “All hail, Macbeth!…

Rather, she instigated her desires and self­worth through him, formulating a plan despite his hesitance. Macbeth’s final decision, was really not his own, but rather, his wife’s. However, it was Macbeth’s craven that succumbed to his wife and his desires. Nonetheless, beyond the influences and the perpetrator, Duncan had died with an objective; the witches’ unstated intention, the wife’s desire for power, or the seemingly vague, yet undeniable, decision Macbeth had made.…

    When Ross came back to inform the King about the battle, he spoke about how Macbeth fought “Point against point, rebellious arm 'gainst arm, curbing his lavish spirit; and to conclude, the victory fell on us” (Macbeth, Shakespeare Act 1, Scene 2). This indicated how well Macbeth fought for his ruler's purpose, he was steadfast, and he gave all that he had for Duncan's cause. Later on King Duncan named Macbeth, The Thane of Cawdor. The conceding of the title had originated from Macbeth’s dependability, diligent work, and genuine goodness to the ruler.…

    Shakespeare presents an interesting dynamic in Macbeth wherein Lady Macbeth acts as the proverbial devil on the shoulder of her husband, constantly whispering in his ear. Though Macbeth is introduced as a loyal warrior under King Duncan of Scotland, he ponders murdering his king almost immediately after he is told by three witches that he will one day rule the country. Even so, Macbeth’s resolve to carry out this crime is shaky at best. Once his wife gets into his ear, however, that shaky resolution is ever so slowly strengthened. Lady Macbeth begins her work by insisting that to not kill King Duncan would be cowardly.…
