Macbeth

One quote that shows Macbeth's skill in battle is when the wounded captain describes him as "brave Macbeth" who "carved out his passage / Till he faced the slave" (Act 1, Scene 2). This demonstrates Macbeth's courage and effectiveness as a soldier in facing and defeating his enemies in combat.

Siward considered his son's death as fair because he died bravely in battle while fighting for a noble cause. In this context, dying a "fair death" means dying with honor and courage on the battlefield.

There are a number of conflicts and types of conflict dealt with in Act 1. The bloody sergeant and Ross in scene 2 describe two battles, using warlike imagery, such as the simile "as cannons overcharged with double cracks". The sergeant appears to relish the gruesomeness of the battle, as he describes how Macbeth "unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps and fixed his head upon our battlements."

Much of the conflict, however, is internal. Macbeth, in two soliloquys and a prolonged aside, is torn between two impulses. Thus, his statement in scene 3, "This supernatural soliciting cannot be ill; cannot be good." which recalls the witches' chant from scene one, "Fair is foul and foul is fair." The difficulty in telling good from bad and right from wrong is at the heart of the difficulty which Macbeth faces in making decisions. Although he does not use this kind of language, the same conflict is going on in his soliloquy at the start of scene 7.

There is another conflict between what things are and what they seem to be, in the intentional deceptiveness of those seeking to hide "their black and deep desires." as Macbeth says in scene 4. Lady Macbeth sums this up best in scene 5 when she says "look like th' innocent flower but be the serpent under it.", and Macbeth in scene 7, "false face must hide what the false heart doth know." Lady Macbeth also uses images of covering up in her soliloquy in scene 5 with, "come, thick night, and pall thee in the blackest smoke of Hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes."

Another internal conflict is the conflict between the stereotypes of men and women and the reality of human beings. Lady Macbeth in scene five asks the gods to "unsex me here", so that she can be less of the stereotype of what a woman is in order to be the person she really is. In the course of doing so, she violently attacks her own capacity to be a mother: "come to my woman's breasts and take my milk for gall", in scene 5 and "I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from its boneless gums and dashed the brains out" in scene 7. In the same speech, she attacks Macbeth by pushing him toward an artificial sterotype of manliness. "When you durst do it, then you were a man." These conflicts will be pursued later in the play by Lady Macduff and Macduff, the foil couple to the Macbeths.

Macbeth does not fear death because of the apparitions' predictions. The first one tells him to beware of Macduff, but the second apparition tells him that he should not fear any man born of a woman (Macduff was "untimely ripped from his mother's womb"...in other words, his mother had a c-section. The third apparition tells him that he will not be killed until Great Birnam wood moves 25 miles from its location to Forres (the rebels use branches to disguise themselves while they march to Forres, so it looks as if the whole forest is moving!), so Macbeth thinks that he has absolutely no reason to fear because he sees 2 of these things as impossible. Hope this helps!

The same thing that is suggested by the fact that he did not go to Scone to see Macbeth crowned. "Nay, cousin, I'll to Fife." Macduff never liked Macbeth much and tried to avoid being around him.

Shakespeare's principal source for the play "Macbeth" was the historical chronicle "Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland." Shakespeare adapted the story of Macbeth from this source, drawing inspiration from the real-life events of King Macbeth of Scotland.

The prophecy that Macbeth will be safe until Great Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill comes true when Macduff orders his men to cut down trees and branches from Birnam Wood in order to hide their numbers as they advance on Macbeth's castle on Dunainane Hill. Macbeth is alarmed, but convinced that he will be spared because of the prophecy that he cannot be killed by a "man of woman born." In the final battle, Macbeth is killed by Macduff, who was born with a caesarian section.

Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] read a letter from her husband at the beginning of Act 1 Scene 5 of the Shakespearean play. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] told her of the witches' predictions and of the overnight visit of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Lady Macbeth then analyzed her husband's chances of achieving the kingship now that he was Thane of Glamis and of Cawdor. She felt that it couldn't be left in his hands or to chance. She said that Macbeth tried to go by the book and do things correctly, ethically, morally. In fact, she went so far as to say that he'd do without if he had to do something wrong to get what he wanted.

The king showed special favor to Macbeth by congratulating him on his bravery in battle and by bestowing upon him the title of Thane of Cawdor, previously held by a traitor. This act of generosity and recognition elevated Macbeth's status and showed the king's appreciation for his loyalty and skill in the battlefield.

Lady Macbeth is often considered more evil than her husband because of her unyielding ambition and manipulative nature. She is portrayed as the driving force behind the murder of King Duncan, pushing Macbeth to commit the deed. Her willingness to sacrifice her morals and sanity to achieve power and status sets her apart as a more ruthless character than Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth controls her husband's hysteria by questioning his masculinity and manipulating his ambitions. She criticizes his doubts and fears, appealing to his desire for power and success. Through a combination of psychological manipulation and emotional pressure, she drives him to carry out their murderous plans.

Hemlock is not a "who", it is a "what". It is a plant related to carrots and parsnips and cumin and cilantro and parsley, but it is a deadly poison. It is the poison used to execute Socrates as seen in Plato's Phaedo. In Macbeth one of the ingredients used by the witches in their stew is "root of hemlock digg'd in the dark".

Miss Havisham is a wealthy, eccentric woman who is jilted at the altar and becomes bitter and reclusive. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, is ambitious and manipulative, urging her husband to commit murder to fulfill her own ambitions. Miss Havisham is a tragic figure consumed by her past, while Lady Macbeth is a ruthless and ambitious character driven by power.

They are cousins.

No. They show him, or have their spirits show him, Banquo's decendants being kings.

The ghost might make an accusation and a tauntwith his first appearance, and a warning with his second. In Act 3 Scene 3, Banquo's throat was slit. His head was disfigured with 20 bloodied gashes from the knives of three hired thugs. He had been lured along the particular route to his murder by a dinner invitation that evening from the newly crowned Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. In Scene 4, Macbeth hosted a post-coronation celebratory banquet. He had planned the end to his former friend and fellow General Banquo's life. Now did he plan the end to Banquo's reputation. He described Banquo as being willfully disrespectful, not fatally detained, in his non-attendance. Banquo's ghost immediately showed up and took Macbeth's royal seat. If he had spoken, the ghost might have said, 'Look what you did to me, you hypocrite! But you're not getting away with it. The throne belongs to me and my family. Fleance got away!' Macbeth fell to pieces until the ghost disappeared. Once he recovered his composure, Macbeth followed the hypocritical tack of toasting Banquo. He claimed to miss his friend and wish for his presence. The ghost promptly reappeared. This time, he might have said, 'Be careful what you wish for! I'm here to stay.'

King Edward supported Malcolm in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth" because Malcolm was the rightful heir to the throne of Scotland. After Macbeth's tyrannical reign, Malcolm was seen as the rightful ruler by both Edward and the Scottish nobles. Edward's support for Malcolm was strategic in helping to overthrow Macbeth and restore order to Scotland.

Lady Macbeth exhibits the strange behaviors of sleepwalking and obsessively trying to wash imaginary bloodstains from her hands. These behaviors are manifestations of her guilt and inner turmoil over the murders she and her husband have committed.

Loads of actresses have played Lady Macbeth. Some of the more famous are Sarah Siddons, who famously played Lady Macbeth from 1780 to 1812 in various productions.
