Exercise 2: Crux Buster, Harrison’s “On Not Being Milton” In Tony Harrison’s poem “On Not Being Milton” he writes, “my Cahier d’un retour au pays natal” (3). According to the footnote, the French phrase comes from the title of Aime Cesaire’s poem about colonized West Indian people and a journey back to their homeland. The translated version would read, “Notebook of a return to one’s land of birth.” The first two lines of this poem set the theme of the speaker returning to his roots in the form…

transformation is after meeting the three witches at the very beginning of the play. He becomes ambitious about being king. The second large character twist is when he starts to do things and and starts killing whoever gets in his way of being king without Lady Macbeth’s bullying to do so. The third change is the saddest, when Macbeth stops acting like a real person, and forgets the meaning of life. At the very beginning of the play Macbeth, readers are introduced to this brave, heroic, larger…

blood on Macbeth’s hands after killing Duncan and Banquo symbolizes the guilt Macbeth and Lady Macbeth can never be washed or erased, like Macbeth’s statement, “No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red (2.2.82).” At the end of the play, Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking and cries, “Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him (5.1.42).” Lady Macbeth sees her hands in blood, which connects to the murder of Duncan she planned with…

Throughout Macbeth, setting has been a crucial aspect in the development of the plot. Shakespeare contrasts the setting to the events that occur there to highlight and create a separation between appearance and reality, bringing light to “fair is foul and foul is fair.” He also uses darkness as a setting to support unnatural and sinister occurrences as well as a means of disguise from goodness. Dating back to the beginning of time, evil has been thought to manifest itself in darkness, and it…

“When the trouble is all done; when the battle’s lost and won.” Throughout this play the main character, Macbeth, displayed many different characteristics of a tragic hero. One characteristic is the flaw or error in judgment; he portrays this by not thinking thoroughly about the statements made from the Apparition. Another characteristic that he portrays is a reversal of fortune because of his error in judgment; this is seen when Macbeth believes the witches when they told him he will be King…

Duncan. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are the main characters in this certain scene. This scene is the first scene that truly unravels Macbeth’s and his wife’s characteristics.

These three witches led him to wondering how he ever could become King. Lady Macbeth encourages…

Every tale ever told leaves the reader with something to be taken away as a lesson. Macbeth is no exception to this. In the play deceit is used as a lesson for the reader, and the numerous amounts of deceit seem to be never ending. Perhaps the most ominous of these deceitful characters however is the witches. The witches are other worldly figures, who use chicanery to their aid, and enjoy watching the pain and suffering of mere mortals. The physical looks, language, and conduct that the…

The characters in Macbeth all possess their own unique attributes that are easily detected within their demeanor. Macbeth has an alternative side to him that is not exposed to the other characters. He keeps hidden and his selfishness is only identifiable when he lets it slip out. His vicious attitude and lack of confidence are introduced to the audience, but never to other characters. The audience is privy to Macbeth’s true self through his soliloquies; when he becomes greedy, violent, and as he…

patiently awaiting our sovereign. It was only a short few seconds until Macbeth violently thrusted his way through the doors. The voices silenced and not a squeak was heard. His face was disapproving. Not a great way to start a great occasion. Lennox and Lady Macbeth urged Macbeth to take a seat. He chuckled a hearty laugh. “The table’s full”, he said. Lennox tried to assure him otherwise, but Macbeth seemed to not be having it. Lennox showed the chair that Macbeth was to be seated in and he…
