Macbeth “To know my deed, twere best not know myself”this is a famous quote from William Shakespeare play Macbeth. This play is about a man named Macbeth who is so overrun with power that he will stop at nothing to become king. This quote was said after he killed king Duncan in his sleep . This is the first act of crime Macbeth committed to claim his rightful place as king. He is basically saying that he would rather not think of the crime he committed than to be conscious of it. The quote…

A scene that I found somewhat predictable yet clever was when Macbeth was killed by Macduff. He was beheaded by Macduff at the end of the play. Macbeth’s death could be attributed to his overconfidence in one of the Witches’ prophecies earlier in the play. The Second Apparition speaks to Macbeth in a cavern in Act 4. The lines say, “The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth” (Mac.IV.i.88-89). This is essentially telling Macbeth that he is invincible and that no man can kill…

Being manipulative to others is an inadequate character trait that can cause short term gain and a long term loss. Although, now and then, manipulation is used negatively on others for self-benefit. This can evidently cause a tragic flaw of a person which can lead to a deteriorating downfall. Manipulation and power of influence in a wrong manner changes ones character and takes over their sense of morality. As a result, these heinous acts lead to destruction and remorse. This is significant in…

How would the story play out if Lady Macbeth had not tempted Macbeth to kill Duncan? Would Macbeth have remained sane? One malevolent deed changed both of them forever. A deed that could never be undone, so why was it done? Man, and woman, wanted power. A man has the competence to rule; his wife behind him urging him to do anything and everything to eliminate the obstacles between him and the throne. Known to be a bold, determined, and power hungry woman, Lady Macbeth has a key role to how the…

The air is electric in Scotland tonight; as Scotland has a new King, to my delight, it is Prince Malcom. Without a doubt, we all agree he is the man for the job, especially now King Macbeth is dead; coincidently days after his wife’s suicide. As you know, Macbeth took over from King Duncan after he was brutally murdered in his sleep, whilst he was a guest of the Macbeths. Two of the Macbeth’s members of staff were convicted for his stabbing and sentenced to life imprisonment. Immediately…

Although in everyday life it is difficult to see past appearances into what is reality, the truth can often uncover hidden motives, perspectives, and even secrets of individuals. In the novel, Crime and Punishment, written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, two characters, Porfiry and Macbeth, reveal that their appearances are not what they seem to be. Porfiry Petrovich, an intelligent investigator, appears to be a cold individual who only cares about…

Stereotypes are horrible. When a screenwriter is too lazy to come up with a good motivation. Just use a mental illness. That’ll sell the story. Just another cheap horror movie. The sick one is always the villain, selling his lies to people who don’t know any better. She just sat there. “Don’t you want to go home,” I ask. “No,” she whispers. “My life is over.” She just sat there in a room, filled with books, looking at the television, holding a coloring book. The room is filled with people and…

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were first seen together in Act I Scene V after the witches prophesied that Macbeth would become King of Scotland. Their common aspiration to satisfy the witches' prophecy is the driving force of their relationship. However, while Macbeth was willing to sit tight for fate to follow through, Lady Macbeth had a clear fervor to seize the crown; unfortunately, this aspiration twisted their relationship as both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth turned into completely different people.…
