Review: What Does It Means To Be A Man In Macbeth By William Shakespeare

There are many answers to the question “ what does it mean to be a man?” but William Shakespeare expresses exactly what he thinks a man is in Macbeth. In the play Macbeth many thanes are mentioned and most of the men that are mentioned are also warriors. This is a big theme in Macbeth so of course many of the main characters that explain what it means to be a man are warriors. The characters that tell us the most about being a man is Banquo a warrior and friend to Macbeth, Duncan the king of scotland that gets murdered, and Lady Macbeth who is a woman but has high expectations of her husband Macbeth and how he should act like a man. According to Shakespeare a man has to be noble, brave, and fight for his king, kingdom, and family.
