Macbeth

A modern-day Banquo figure could be someone who is loyal and noble, but ultimately gets betrayed and murdered by those close to him. This could be a political or business leader who is seen as a threat by others in power.

Macbeth's behavior toward the servant who comes to deliver a message ultimately shows that Macbeth's character is malicious and brutal. He has been slowly becoming evil as the story has progressed, but his behavior with the servant showed that he truly became the villain in the story.

Robert Walker Macbeth was born in 1848.

After becoming kings, Macbeth grew obsessed with the idea that people close to him could be out to get him and his title on the throne. This was partially due to the witches's influence on him. He then decided to kill anyone who could question his title and whoever the witches' said was dangerous to Macbeth's royal status.

He didn't. Malcolm did in Act IV Scene 3 when talking to Macduff. Macduff has just heard that his wife and children have been murdered and Malcolm is hoping to use that to help out his plan to usurp Macbeth's throne.

Malcolm, son of King Duncan, was crowned King of Scotland after Macbeth's death. He was able to reclaim the throne with the help of his ally, Macduff.

Firstly, Macbeth is set in Scotland. Secondly, it is a superstition, especially in the UK, that saying the word "Macbeth" whilst in a theatre is bad luck for the performers (there have been mysterious bad luck occurances during performances of Macbeth to create such superstition, ie: deaths etc). Since these bad occurences the play is considered to be cursed. To avoid risking the luck of the actors and performances, people will refer to Macbeth as "The Scottish Play." It is also called "The Bard's Play."

The "old man" said t when talking with Ross in Act 1 Scene 5

The witches told Banquo that he would not be king himself, but his descendants would inherit the throne. They also warned him to be wary of Macbeth.

yes,cus if he wouldn't be fallowing banquos sons he wouldn't had his family death by that moment...

"2nd Witch" in William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" Act IV, Scene I

Paradox of The Court: A law student agrees to pay his teacher after winning his first case. The teacher then sues the student (who has not yet won a case) for payment.

(This is not as paradoxical as it appears. The teacher's suit must fail because the student has not won a case. However, if the teacher sues the student a second time, the teacher should succeed, since the student has now won his first case. An astute judge in the first case would award costs against the teacher in the first case equal to the amount of the teacher's fee, thus giving the student the funds to pay the teacher off)

"When you durst do it, then you were a man." Most of Lady Macbeth's argument is made up of associating the commitment of the murder with his virility and manhood. She implies that he is only sexually attractive to her if he commits the murder. Once he starts to waver, she brings in the second arm of her argument: "But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail" Her second argument is that audacity will certainly succeed.

Lady Macbeth helped her husband carry out the assassination of their sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. She did so by helping in the planning and in the framing of the two royal guards. She was the one who suggested her giving the guards too much of drugged drinks. She was the one who kept Macbeth on track when he wavered. She was the one who told Macbeth that the murder would best be done with the King vulnerable, helpless and defenseless from having dined and gotten ready for bed. She was the one who planted the daggers back on the bodies of the guards, to frame them for the royal killing.

Origin Name: Clan MacBeth Origin of Name: Son of life; a man of religionThe Gaelic for whiskey is uisge beatha which translates as `water of life'. Uisge (pronounced ooshke) means water and beatha means life. As an aside, this is the same Gaelic root as Macbeth, the 'son of life'. The famous Macbeth who was King of Scots, actually had Macbeth as his Christian name, *not* his surname. [-- Brian Russell, Edinburgh]

One of the exceptions among the `Macs', the name MacBeth means not the son of any person `Beth', but `Son of Life' or a man of religion. It developed separately from the name MacBean, and has also become confused with forms of the Norman name Bethune.

Shakespeare, playing his immortal light over the old Celtic throne of Scotland, brings to focus the ruler of Moray who enforced his family claim thereon by the murder of King Duncan in 1040.

He regrets because what all happens to his wife (lady Macbeth).

His peace of mind, his ability to sleep and everything else worth living for is stripped away. What is especially sad is that Macbeth sees it happening and comments on it, from "I have fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf . . ." to the recognition of the complete meaninglessness of his life in the chilling "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Macbeth is in Hell and he knows it.

Murderers may disfigure their victims to make identification more difficult, to inflict additional cruelty and pain, or to conceal the victim's identity. It can also be a way for the perpetrator to exert control and assert power over the victim.

Yes, unquestionably, in the play Macbeth murders his cousin King Duncan, and orders the murder of others.

The true reason is unknown and only inferences can be made. It is possible that MacBeth feared that the other two murderers would not do as he told them and MacBeth sent a third murderer to keep and eye on them. He may have also thought that two murderers alone would be unable to carry out the killing of Banquo and after realizing the fact he decided to send a third. If this was the case then MacBeth was partially right because although the murderers were able to kill Banquo his son, Fleance, escaped.

Also, there's a theory that Macbeth himself was the third murderer

During Act 3 Scene 4 of MacBeth, MacBeth spots Banquo's ghost in his chair and begins to yell at it. Lady MacBeth reacts by calming everyone at the Banquet. She says "the fit is momentary... feed, and regard him not" so that everyone will just ignore MacBeth while she tries to stop his ranting. She questions MacBeth's manhood as she has done before to try to make him stop. Eventually, MacBeth ruins the party and Lady MacBeth tells everyone to leave.

Yes, murder is universally considered wrong as it involves intentionally taking the life of another person without justification. It is illegal and considered a severe violation of ethical and moral principles in most societies.

"Dramatic irony" is used in "An Inspector Calls" when the audience knows more about the characters and situation than the characters themselves. For example, the audience knows that Eva Smith's death is connected to each character before they do. This creates tension and suspense as the audience waits for the characters to discover the truth.
