    The performance of Macbeth is genuinely dark and consists of many haunting elements. Diving into the tragedy of Macbeth, we see characters change and develop as events unfold. In the second act of Macbeth, we see Macbeth himself kill the king. This action leaves him disconnected from the world, as he is overwhelmed with guilt.

    judgement of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth is certainly not inaccurate but, these two protagonists have a more complex background to their personality and actions that cannot be simply justified as a ‘fiend like queen’ and this ‘dead butcher’.

His eventual corruption was also due to outside influences such as the Witches and Lady Macbeth. Malcolm’s judgement of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth also…

    “Macbeth” is a Historically well known and famous work by William Shakespeare. It was written in time much different than today when life was completely different and seemingly had no comparisons to today’s time.

    from Lady Macbeth is difficult to interpret because Shakespeare allows his actors to open different doors into the minds of his characters.
