No. Macbeth is a tragedy. it is play of ambition, as he kills the king, Duncan, the son of his later enemy, Macduff, and even his own friend, Banquo, in order to take and maintain power. hope is not an idea that ever appears in the play

No, "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is not generally considered a play of hope. It is a tragedy that explores themes of ambition, guilt, and the consequences of unchecked power. The story follows Macbeth's descent into darkness and his ultimate downfall.

Macbeth is a play of tragedy ambition guilt and a desire for power as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth stop at nothing to reign Scotland and by doing this they become ruthless and brutal. Shakespeare warns the audience of the dangers of political ambition throughout the play as we uncover the plot of Macbeth. There was hope for Macbeth when he is hesitant about murdering Duncan showing that it is still not to late to redeem himself however when Macbeth quotes "is this this a dagger which I see before me " it shows he is in full control and we as the audience are beginning to see the true Macbeth unfolds as he kills Duncan to acquire his position.
