For me the philosophy that can relate in Shakespeare’s play of Macbeth is Feminism. Feminism is the philosophy where men and women should have same rights and opportunities in the society. Feminism also is to establish the political and social rights for women that are equal to the men including in their education and employment. In this play, Feminism was shown when Lady Macbeth wants the kingship will go to Macbeth and ask Macbeth to murder Duncan to dethrone him. She ignores the objections…

Although Macbeth was a loyal soldier at the beginning of the play, he would do anything to become and stay king. For example, to become king, Macbeth has to…

Is the death of King Duncan the fault of Lady Macbeth or Macbeth? Sometimes the answer is simpler than it seems. There are a few reasons that show that Macbeth is the one at fault, not Lady Macbeth. Macbeth is weak and let his wife and some witches go against his conscience. Macbeth couldn’t deny what his wife wanted. Some could put the blame upon Lady Macbeth for badgering Macbeth about it so much, but if Macbeth didn’t let her get in his head then King Duncan wouldn’t have died. “Art thou…

Will Gibert Honors Genre Studies November 12th, 2015 Blood Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, is a perfect example of theatrical tragedy.

In Macbeth the Witches are shown to be evil. The witches play a major role in MacBeth's actions. Macbeth is told by the witches that he will be Thane of Cawdor and King by the quote "All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!" (Act I.III.50-53) His belief that he will be king was not questioned, and was automatically believed. Just the thought that he may be King, his thoughts and ambition…
