Macbeth

Because tragedy works by making us like and respect someone and then feel sad when something terrible happens to them. If we don't like them in the first place, we don't feel sorry for them and there is no tragedy. (An example is Shakespeare's failed tragedy Timon of Athens in which we cannot feel sorry for Timon because he is so stupid, and hence his downfall does not seem very tragic.) The fewer faults the hero has, the more tragic it becomes, so the most tragic hero has no faults or flaws at all, yet disaster overtakes him anyway.

The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."

First Witch. Second Witch. Third Witch. In the First Folio Act 1 Scene 1 and Act 4 Scene 1 they are identified as 1, 2, and 3. There is also a head witch called Hecate and three other witches who are usually written out of any performing script because 1) they are silly and stupid and 2) they were added to Shakespeare's play later, probably by Thomas Middleton.

same evil ideas

The witches have told Macbeth that he will reign until "Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane" and that he can be killed by 'no man of woman born". Now that Birnam wood has come to Dunsinane (Macduff's soldiers using trees as camouflage) and Macduff reveals that he was "from his mother's womb untimely ripped" (Caesarian section) and therefore, "not of woman born", Macbeth realizes that he is definitely in the soup. Macduff tells him to yield, but Macbeth defies the prophecy, saying: "I will not yield, To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet, and to be baited with the rabble's curse. Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane, and thou opposed, being of no woman born, het I will try the last. Before my body I throw my warlike shield: lay on, Macduff, and damned be him that first cries 'Hold, enough'." Could that be it?

Because macduff fled Scotland to team up with Malcom but he does not tell his wife that i why he thinks he i a traitor , however what he WA really doing is raising an army against the Scottish forces (mcbeth)

Lady Macbeth is duplicitous

Macbeth is two-faced towards Duncan

The witches seem to be giving simple info to Macbeth, but are the really preparing him for his downfall?

Throughout the play Macbeth, clothes, or robes, are used as a symbol of peoples' roles. One example of this is where Banquo says, in scene 4 of act 1, "New honors come upon him, / Like our strange garments, cleave not to ther mold / But with the aid of use." Later on, robes used as symbols for positions in act 2, scene 4 by Macduff, when he says, "Well, may you see things well done there. Adieu, / Lest our old robes sit easier than our new," meaning, lest our new King, Macbeth, isn't as good for this country as our old one, Duncan (who Macbeth has killed). The specific example asked about is in act 5, scene 2, where Angus says, "Now does he [Macbeth] feel his title / Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe / Upon a dwarfish thief." This means that Macbeth is realizing that his robes, (roles, or responsibilities) are too big for him too fill. He can't fulfill the responsibilities of a king.

Her main concern is to keep the death of the king a secret, and she does not want Macbeth to spoil that up. She wants him to stay the king, so that she stays the queen.

its a paradox which is also part of the "fair is foul" motif. it means you can physically win the battle, but lose everything else.

yes, they do

Macbeth takes them 100% seriously and completely believes them

Banquo on the other hand takes it with a grain of salt and calmly waits for fate to work itself out.

Macbeth sticks, or conforms, to the Conventions of Tragedy in several ways. One, he has a fatal flaw which ultimately leads to his downfall: ambition. Two, Fate and Fortune play a role throughout the play through the Witches characters. Three, the tragic protagonist, in this case Macbeth, becomes a scapegoat and dies at the end of the play, thereby purging or cleansing the community from its evil.

Macbeth killed banquo. Because Macbeth heard the witches say he will also be king. so Macbeth saw him as a threat to the throne and lets just say did something bad to banquo (killed him)

Haha, I find this question kind of funny. Depending on how old your child is, it could be any reason. Does your child like the play or name MacBeth? Or maybe the child just heard the name macbeth, and became obsessed. I did that as a child!

He wasn't he was thane of Glamis and then thane of Cawdor but only became King of Scotland after killing the previous Kind, Duncan.

In 1764

Because Macbeth believes in the prophecies so much, he thinks that he is safe because that is what the witches want him to think. The witches tell Macbeth to beware of Macduff, even though Macbeth thinks he is safe he wants to make sure he iscompletely safe so he decides to kill Macduff and his family but only suceeds in killing Macduffs family not Macduff, and the Macduff takes revenge and kills Macbeth.

To England

whatever it wants to be

King Duncan

He is brave and very worthy.

Act I.7 line 35

MacBeth

Macbeth uses the word"aside" in the play a lot and the reason for this is that to show the audience that his mood is changing from good to evil. Shakespeare added this to the play because to add an good understandable equaton to the play.
