Macbeth

After MacBeth receives the predictions from the witches he writes a letter to Lady MacBeth detailing the whole situation. He calls her his "dearest partner of greatness" and is very trusting of her. He is also subject to much influence from her since she is the one who later convinces MacBeth to kill the king, Duncan, when he is resolute on not doing anything of the sort.

Double speak and duality are what leads Macbeth to his false sense of what he's doing is right. The witches constantly give him double speak like: "till Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane", "none of woman born shall harm Macbeth.....". These things make it seem like he is going to be perfectly fine, but in the end they trick him and lead to his downfall.

The Gunpowder Plot, a plot by fanatical Catholics to blow up the king and Parliament with gunpowder, was discovered on November 5, 1605, and Guy Fawkes Day is still celebrated on November 5 to commemorate it. (Guy Fawkes was one of the conspirators). One of the organizers of the plot, Father Garnett, had published a pamphlet on how to equivocate, or lie without really lying, and the words "equivocate" and "equivocator" appear throughout the play, particularly in the Porter's speech.

In Macbeth, when Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to "screw your courage to the sticking point and we'll not fail," she is essentially urging him to gather his courage and determination to a fixed point like a screw. This means to steel himself mentally and be resolute in carrying out their plan.

In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the idea that people should be killed originates primarily from Lady Macbeth. She is the one who convinces Macbeth to kill King Duncan in order to fulfill the witches' prophecy and secure his place as king.

The bloody sergeant tells the king that Macbeth killed the traitor Macdonwald by unseaming him from the navel to the jawbone. This vivid description highlights Macbeth's skill and brutality in battle, setting the tone for his character in the play.

The word "Hail". The weird sisters greet Macbeth with the lines "All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!", "All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" and "All hail Macbeth! That shall be king hereafter!"

The difference is that Lady Macbeth at first wanted Macbeth to kill Banquo and Macbeth was too scared to do it. Later on in the tragedy, Lady Macbeth gets haunted and gets mentally ill and Macbeth keeps on killing people.

In the spurious Act III Scene 5 which is never performed, Hecate gets all crabby at the other witches. She says she is going to meet with the other witches and Macbeth and is going to make him "spurn fate" and "scorn death" and generally feel more secure than he deserves to feel. She does show up briefly in the cauldron scene, but she doesn't do anything. She just wanted her name on the guest list.

In Macbeth's first line, he echoes the witches' paradoxical line "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" by stating "So foul and fair a day I have not seen." This creates a parallel between Macbeth's fate and the supernatural forces at play, suggesting that what seems fair or good may actually be foul or evil, and vice versa. The use of paradox in both instances foreshadows the themes of deception and moral ambiguity throughout the play.

Many people think that the copy of Macbeth which was printed in the First Folio was not the play Shakespeare originally wrote. The play is very short for a Shakespeare play and several scenes have been written by another hand, probably by Thomas Middleton, who wrote some of the cutesy songs the witches are supposed to sing. It's thought that Middleton deleted some of Shakespeare's scenes to make room for his own (this was an honest effort, as apparently the audiences liked the cute and/or funny witches).

At the same time, some people think that the written versions of most of the plays are not the plays that were performed. The plays as written run for about three hours, but copies which look like performance versions (like Macbeth and the First Quarto of Hamlet) run for about two. There is also the phrase in the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet saying that the play would be the "two hours traffic of our stage." Perhaps Shakespeare wrote these three hour long plays which were then cut down to two for performance (as they often are nowadays).

If your baby ingests turpentine, seek immediate medical attention by calling emergency services or a poison control center. Do not give anything to the baby to drink without medical advice, as it may worsen the situation.

Christianity does not make an appearance in Macbeth. The closest it comes is when Macbeth reports that the grooms woke up, said prayers and went back to sleep, but Macbeth could not say "Amen". This symbolizes that his guilt is standing in the way of his salvation.

Thane of Cawdor will be executed for treason for supporting the Norwegian invaders and betraying King Duncan. His title and lands will be given to Macbeth as a reward for his loyalty and bravery in battle.

The witches had no clear motive. They told Banquo and Macbeth the prophecies but other than that, does nothing to help Macbeth. Nor did they torment him or place him under any harm. Furthermore, they are seen as sinister and evil beings who are not to be trust and should be guarded against, as said by Banquo. The supernatural creatures in Midsummer Night will be the faeries. Quite unlike the witches, who seemed to be watching the whole tragedy of Macbeth unfold from a sideline, the faeries are eager to help the Athenian lovers and they also restore order to the world in the end. The witches do not. Lastly, appearance-wise, the witches are ambiguous - they are seen to be quite feminine, yet they have beards and there is doubt as to whether they belong to earth. Macbeth even addresses them as "What are you" instead of "Who are you" when he first met them. The faeries on the other are seen to be quite divine and shows a hieracy. There is a king, queen, there are the servants and also the henchmen like Puck. Also, they are described to be beautiful and having firm ideas about that they want and what they are going to do.

Macbeth is very demanding and trust them a lot then the first time

No. In Act 1 he is sitting in camp letting other people bring him news of the battles going on. He doesn't seem to have much idea what's going on: "Dismay'd not this our captains Macbeth and Banquo?"

"Yet do I fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way.""He that's coming must be provided for; and you shall put this night's great business into my dispatch.""We shall proceed no further in this business."

The best description of a Roman Forum is a market place. Goods were brought and sold there and business deals were made. Even though some fora were specialized in the goods they sold, most of them could be described as neighborhood shopping centers/malls.

Macbeth wasn't a typical soldier. A typical soldier in Shakespeare's times would be the one to give commands to his wife, but Macbeth was soft and he wasn't as confident as a usual soldier would have been. Due to Macbeth not having a lot of confidence, he felt he had to listen and obey Lady Macbeth.

Although I suspect that nobody was going to give commands to a woman like Lady Macbeth. She was a formidable woman, who succeeded in controlling Macbeth not because he was soft but because she was harder than the toughest man. "I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from its boneless gums and dashed the brains out had I so sworn as you have done to this." Is this a woman anyone could say no to?

Macbeth does.

He tells her this because he has decided not to go ahead with it. His whole "If it were done when tis done then it were best it were done quickly" speech is him carefully considering the reasons for and against committing the murder. He finds lots of reasons against it, and only one insufficient reason for it--"vaulting ambition". But all the reasoning in the world cannot stand up to her contemptuous statement that he has no balls if he refuses to go ahead with her plan.
