Dunsinane

Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him." Assuring him that no one will defeat him till the woods themselves tried march to his castle. Macbeth might've interpreted the child with the tree branch as another assurance that he will have a child that will grow old and become his heir. Unfortunately for him it was not long at all before Birnam wood marched on Dunsinane hill. In act five scene four the rightful king of the Scottish…

him what he wants to know. “Macbeth shall never vanquish’d be until / Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill / Shall come against him” (IV.i.101-103). The apparition created by the witches gives Macbeth a false sense of security because Macbeth thinks the Birnam wood can never come to Dunsinane, however his enemy Malcolm uses a strategy to make it seem like Birnam wood is actually coming to Dunsinane, as the soldiers are holding up branches from Birnam wood to make it seem like there are less…

Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.” (IIII.i.91-93) Due to the fairness of the previous prophecies, MacBeth takes these statements at face value, and his confidence soars. However, when the English army of ten thousand men approach his castle carrying branches, he numbly expresses that, “I pull in resolution and begin to doubt th’equivocation of a fiend that lies like truth ‘Fear not, till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane,’ and now a wood comes toward Dunsinane.”…

In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, one sees a once noble man succumb to greed and power. Throughout the story, Macbeth always seems to have free will in every situation, yet always chooses the option better suited for his personal gain. An overview of all of the Macbeths deadliest acts is presented in the beginning of Act 5.

Scene Five Many of Macbeth’s men are fleeing and switching sides. Macbeth states that he no longer…

and not horses like in Shakespeare’s version, Dunsinane is Macbeth’s property and house, Donalbain is not even in the story, and Cawdor is a nightclub. In my opinion I believe that the changes that Wright made were good. With his modernized changes it helps us understand a little bit better since we're more used to gang violence and how greedy they are. Wright changed the chronic knocking to an annoying door bell. When the Birnam wood came to Dunsinane, Wright change that to the wood being…

King Duncan puts too much trust in Macbeth. From the beginning, King Duncan thinks of Macbeth as a hero as well as a faithful follower. Macbeth fights and kills the traitor, Macdonwald, and due to this heroic deed, the king offers Macbeth the title of the Thane of Cawdor. This is how Macbeth appears to the king, but shortly after Macbeth visits the three witches, his intentions change.

When you become a king of a country there is a lot of responsibility, not only for yourself, but for the community around you as well. It also comes with consequences, like the conflict after you make decisions that are a struggle as well as things you really do not want to do. Macbeth, being the King of Scotland, that all plays into part, but he also deals with the supernatural. It is not that the supernatural wanted to come to him, but he actually put himself in that situation from all the…

The tragedy of Shakespeare’s title character Macbeth leads us to believe that there is evil in all of us. Was Macbeth acting on his own free will or was he controlled by the evil witches that seemed to toy with the protagonist and relish in his demise? Are these Witches ultimately to blame or must Macbeth take full responsibility for all of his decisions?
