What is the conclusion from Macbeth?
Two parts of Macbeth's plan aren't carried out. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plans to have Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance killed by three hired murderers. But only Banquo ends up with his throat slit. Fleance manages to escape, and isn't tracked down. Macbeth also plans to kill Macduff and Macduff's entire family and household. But Macduff escapes to England before he can be killed. So only Macduff's family and household are killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. Consequently, Macbeth's plan for elimination of his rivals isn't carried out or completed. Instead, he must beware of Macduff. He also must beware of Banquo's family line taking over the throne of Scotland.
Were Macbeth and macduff friends?
There is no indication of any closeness between them. Macduff is never much interested in socializing with Macbeth. We first see him when he arrives at Macbeth's castle to see Duncan. Note that it is the king he wants to see, not Macbeth. When Macbeth is named king, Macduff refuses to attend the coronation. He also refuses to come to Lady Macbeth's dinner party. It would appear that he never liked Macbeth much.
Why does Malcolm try to make Macduff believe that he is an evil man?
The three points which contribute greatly to Macbeth's degeneration are the prophecy which was told to him by the witches, how Lady Macbeth influenced and manipulated Macbeth's judgment, and finally Macbeth's long time ambition which drove his desire to be king. Macbeth's growing character degenerates from a noble man to violent individual. The prophecies which were told by the witches were one of the factors which contributed to the degeneration of his character. If it had not been for the witches telling him that he was to be Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis, and King of Scotland, Macbeth would still be his ordinary self. As a result of the prophecies, this aroused Macbeth's curiosity of how he could be King of Scotland. As the play progresses, Macbeth slowly relies on the witches prophecies. Shakespeare uses the witches as a remedy for Macbeth's curiosity which corrupts his character. The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill King Duncan herself, it showed that Lady Macbeth could not murder King Duncan because he reminded her of her father. This proves that Lady Macbeth has a heart deep inside her. Lady Macbeth plays an important role in this play because she provided a scheme which caused Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan. After Macbeth had killed King Duncan, he later regrets on his wrong doing. At the point of this play the audience can note the change in Macbeth's character. Macbeth's first murder was a trying experience for him, however after the first murder, killing seemed to be the only solution to maintain his reign of the people of Scotland. Therefore, it was Lady Macbeth who introduced the concept of murder to Macbeth. Macbeth's ambition also influenced his declining character. However, Macbeth's ambition had not been strong enough to carry the motive to kill King Duncan. Lady Macbeth's influence also comes in to play because if not for Lady Macbeth, his ambition would not have been intensified enough to drive him to obtain and maintain his title of King of Scotland no matter what it took, even if it meant murdering. Macbeth's ambition influenced the cause of his new character. This new character of Macbeth contained greed, violence, and power hunger. Macbeth shows this when he kills King Duncan. In conclusion, the prophecies given to him by the witches, Lady Macbeth's influence and plan, and his intensified ambition, all contributed greatly to his degeneration of character which resulted to his downfall...death. Therefore Macbeth character displays strong signs of a tragic hero, making him the ideal classic example.
How was Macbeth's confidence increased as Act 4 Scene 1 ended?
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] increased his confidence in his ability to hold onto his job as King of Scotland. He felt more confident because of his decision to leave nothing living or breathing at Macduff's home in Fife. At the beginning of Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth was worried about his job as King. But the witches assured him of success against men born of women. They also convinced him of success as long as Birnam Wood didn't move to Dunsinane Castle. They showed him Banquo's ghost following a long royal line. But they warned him, not of Banquo, but of Macduff. Macbeth wasn't given practical interpretations of the witches' warnings. Neither was he encouraged to think along practical lines. So he saw improbable warnings as being improbable events. The only probable warning was against Macduff, whom he thought that he could handle in lethal ways. Macbeth's first plan was the murder of Macduff. But Lennox told him of Macduff's flight into England. Macbeth therefore projected his murderous vision onto Macduff's entire family and household. The Fife Castle massacre would anger Macduff. But Macbeth believed that Macduff, as just another man born of woman, could be handled. What Macbeth didn't know was that Macduff hadn't been born of a living, breathing woman. In fact, he had been delivered, not born, by Caesarian section from a recently dead mother. Technically, he therefore he had come into the word from a corpse, not a woman.
