What did shakespeare want us to realize in the play the tragedy of Macbeth?

Well, presumably the kind of things that the characters realize. Be careful what you wish for, Lady Macbeth. Do not meddle in the affairs of witches, for they are subtle and tricky, Macbeth. A government founded on fear will fall, Macbeth. Kings who are bad judges of character are at risk, Duncan.


How does Macbeth feel about having murdered duncan?

Terrible. He wishes he hadn't done it. "I am afraid to think what I have done", "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?", "Wake Duncan with thy knocking; I wish thou couldst!" are some of the things he says that confirm this.


The Tragedy of Macbeth and other Elizabethan plays represented a radical shift in English drama because they were?

It depends on what plays you wish to consider with Macbeth. Macbeth, by the way was not an Elizabethan play: it was Jacobean.


How does the ending of the tragedy of Macbeth by William shakespeare inspire feelings of pity for Macbeth?

If the play has been performed properly, the audience should be feeling both pity and horror well before the end. This is because Macbeth is essentially a noble character who was talked into making a bad decision by his wife. And once he has made that decision, there is no going back, even though he regrets it. "Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I wish thou couldst!" As a consequence of his crime, which was uncharacteristic of him and which he deeply regrets, he is led into further and further horrors as the play goes on and alienates himself from nearly everyone. By the end, he is fighting on alone, having been abandoned by everyone, placing his hopes on the deceptive prophecies of the witches. This should inspire pity in the audience.

What are Macbeth's thoughts at the end of Act 1 Scene 7?

In Act 1 Scene 7 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth started out alone in one of the rooms of his castle at Inverness. He expressed his wish for the murder of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] to be over and done with. He hoped for no need for follow-up action. But he indicated his doubts as to the possibility of no consequences, fallout, ramifications or repercussions. Macbeth then moved to trying to talk himself out of such a heinous act. He referred to his duties and responsibilities as beneficiary, cousin, employee, host, and subject to his sovereign. He reminded himself of Duncan's reputation as beloved of and respected by his people. But his good intentions fell by the wayside once his Lady [b. c. 1015] appeared. She didn't accept his argument of losing the goodwill of important people. She compared his changing his mind over murder to changing his mind over his commitment to her. Macbeth tried to introduce the serious consequences of failure. Macbeth's Lady countered with a fail-safe plot of killing the King and his guards. Macbeth tried to suggest that framing the guards for the royal murder wouldn't go over. His Lady countered with their being believable in their grief over their dead King and their righteous fury against the supposed perpetrators. Macbeth gave up.

Why did Macbeth want to be King?

Because his wife convinced him that he would gain much power. Without her poor influences he probably would not have killed Duncan. he was said to be very loyal, but he never gave off the vibe that he liked the King, and how he was ruling.
