Lady Macbeth

It is very odd to think that a boring word like hand would play a huge role in any play, let alone such a revolutionary piece like Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Although it seems weird, hand really does heavily contribute to the play as a whole. In today’s everyday society, hand is only really used to describe our physical hands, but during the time period of this piece, hand was used in a variety of weird ways, like symbolizing a person’s actions. It is very unlikely that when this quote is…

In 1606, when Shakespeare completed Macbeth, women’s opinions and advice were taken seriously, and satirical writing about how frivolous women were was common in the writing of the time, even in Shakespeare’s other play. The Taming of the Shrew, for example, is entirely about an uppity woman being put in her place by a good man, and any Shakespearean play with a strong female character offering useful advice either ends with her death in the tragedies or subdued in marriage in the comedies.…

Throughout Macbeth people pushed others into position that caused distress. This stems from power and jealousy not fate. At almost every point in the story another person made Macbeth’s decisions, and he let that happen. Macbeth allowed people to push him and make choices for him. This does not happen the majority of the time. People take charge of their own lives and then decide where to take life. A person can change his fate as long as he wants to. The first instance of so called fate in…

In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth is first given three prophecies by three witches. These prophecies state that Macbeth will be the king of Glamis and the king of Cawdor and that he will be the future king.
