Cawdor Castle

Dwight D. Eisenhower says, “Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it”. The supernatural was a big part of the Elizabethan era, so much that the people of this era believed fate itself could be determined through it. Macbeth, written by the infamous Shakespeare took place in this era, and undoubtedly, the supernatural was a big factor in Macbeth’s actions and ultimate downfall. The supernatural instigates Macbeth to act in ways he would not…

the occasion. As the Bleeding Sargent notes, that Macbeth, against all odds, challenged Macdonwald and was successful in crushing both Macdonwald and the traitorous Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth risks his life for the King of Scotland prior to hearing the prophesy of the three sisters. When given the robes of the Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth says “why do you dress me In borrow 'd robes?”. It becomes clear at this point that Macbeth’s only motivation stem from his deep seated sense of honor and duty. This…

actions into his own hands. This shows the clear character foils Banquo and Macbeth create for each other. Sequentially, in the first scene of act three in Macbeth, we find Banquo uttering soliloquies to himself, saying: "Thou hast it now, King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the Weird Women promised, and I fear thou plyed 'st most foully for 't..." These lines show that suspicion is being arisen and condensed in Banquo 's mind regarding Macbeth 's devilish deeds. He, further, asks to himself some…

is actually pretty weak because at just the mention of these words the witches have him wrapped around their finger and he pesters them wanting to know more saying, “stay… tell me more! By Sinel’s death I know I am the thane of Glamis, But how of Cawdor”(I.iii.71). Then there is “Federigo’s Falcon” in which we see Federigo’s love, Mona Giovanna, is tested in her mind and her heart with a temptation that anyone would struggle with. Mona has to decide if she wants to save her son and go ask…

It is quite clear from this passage that Macbeth is not mentally well, but has gone too far to stop. To give up the role as King now, would be the ultimate disgrace to Macbeth 's glory. Yet again proving this, as an army of men marches towards his castle - which at the moment he believes to be impenetrable - he says "I have almost forgot the taste of fears. The time has been my senses would have cooled, To hear a night-shriek" (5.5.10-12). The shriek he is referring to is soon revealed to him…

Macbeth had no intentions of being the king, “The Thane of Cawdor lives a prosperous gentleman, and to be king stands not within the prospect of belief” (Shakespeare 1.2.75-77). He didn’t even believe that he was good enough to be king. The witches are the ones that introduced him to the idea of being king through…

begins to think that Macbeth is working for the crown and Banquo fears he, “play 'dst most foully for 't..." (3.1.3). Banquo is right as Macbeth no longer cares about anybody or anything as long as he gets the crown. He kills his king who was at his castle in “double trust” and does not show any emotion when he is told his wife has passed away (1.7.12). Macbeth’s ambition causes him risk everything to become king and he eventually loses everything instead. Macbeth’s tragic flaw is ambition…

‘Macbeth’ is a play by William Shakespeare set in 10-11th centuries. Appearance and reality is key theme throughout the play to explain the character's actions and thoughts and the differences that occur between them. Shakespeare uses a number of techniques to show appearance and reality including metaphors, contrast and caesuras. These create a number of effects to show appearance and reality in different ways and views. One way Shakespeare explores appearance and reality is through…

deterioration is growing. A ll he worries about is keeping his spot as king. An example of this is when his wife starts to hallucinate, and then commits suicide. He doesn't seem to care. All he says is insert quote here. He stays holed up in his castle all day, and trying to figure out how the future will turn out . He’s worried about the future of the crown, and decides to seek out the witches instead of conferring with his wife. He desires to know if he will be defeated, and if so, by…

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…
