Macbeth

She takes the daggers back to King Duncans chamber, wipes the blood from the daggers onto the Unconscious guards, and leaves the daggers beside them, so that when the body of the king was found it would seem that the guards where guilty of treason.

He's a strong person but at the same time is weak minded he is confused but at the same time has goals and wants accomplishments in life. But all these things combined together are what conclude to his downfall

Yes. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were King and Queen of Scotland. They did kill their predecessor, Duncan, who was a bad king, and reigned for 17 years, very successfully, until Macbeth was killed. Lady Macbeth's son, Lulach, took the throne after Macbeth's death.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

Act 4 Scene 3

Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and his Lady [b. c. 1015] planned to blame the two royal guards for the untimely death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland. Lady Macbeth was supposed to serve the guards drugged drinks, to keep them from protecting their sovereign. Macbeth was supposed to kill the sleeping, unarmed King and then the passed out, defenseless guards. The bloodied murder weapons were supposed to be left at the crime scene with the bloodied corpses. The crime scene was supposed to tell a tale of a king killed by his drunken guards and avenged by his outraged host. And that was what happened and how the royal guest chamber was made to look, in Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play.

Lady Macbeth knows Macbeth is 'too full o' the milk of human kindness' to kill Duncan, without encouragement. So she threatens his manliness 'when you durst do it, then you were a man' and uses her knowledge about his insecurities as a man and his easy manipulability to persuade Macbeth to 'bear the knife' against Duncan.

The Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' has been considered cursed. It even has been considered cursed to mention the play by the exact title. To avoid the curse that the title carried, the play was called The Scottish Play.

Please write your question in a complete sentence. What do you want to know ABOUT Macbeth's final battle? Macbeth didnt use magic as they thought it was wrong so they had a battle without magic :) Macbeth thought magic is rubbish,, so they had a battle with fists :):)

According to the historical record, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] might have sought revenge for the unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of his family's lands by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Duncan was killed by his own men before Macbeth could claim his right to do so. Instead, Macbeth's claim to the throne was recognized. Additionally, 14 years later, Duncan's aged father Crinan [d. 1054], the hereditary abbot of Dunkeld, rebelled against Macbeth's rule. This time, Macbeth claimed his right to kill the rebel before anyone else did. According to the Shakespearean play, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] sought revenge for the murder of his father, Duncan, by Macbeth. But he didn't want to carry out the killing himself. He might have thought that put him on the same level as Macbeth: killing a king in order to become king. So Malcolm saw to his revenge by having as his avenging angel Macduff. Macduff had his own reasons for ending Macbeth's reign and life. Macbeth had planned the Fife Castle massacre by which Macduff's entire family and household were stabbed to death.

Banquo's line, "A heavy summons lies like lead upon me and yet I would not sleep," expresses his feeling or premonition that something was terribly wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. The line "There's husbandry in heaven; night's candles are all out" is memorable but not significant.

We are never really sure of how the witches relate to Macbeth. Do they merely foretell? Or are they controlling the lives of Macbeth and his wife? Before the play was revised and the character Hecate added (probably by the excellent playwright Thomas Middleton), the play was really ambiguous on this point.

Two parts of Macbeth's plan aren't carried out. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plans to have Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance killed by three hired murderers. But only Banquo ends up with his throat slit. Fleance manages to escape, and isn't tracked down. Macbeth also plans to kill Macduff and Macduff's entire family and household. But Macduff escapes to England before he can be killed. So only Macduff's family and household are killed by Macbeth's hired murderers. Consequently, Macbeth's plan for elimination of his rivals isn't carried out or completed. Instead, he must beware of Macduff. He also must beware of Banquo's family line taking over the throne of Scotland.

Macbeth commanded rest, because his wife wasn't sleeping and was behaving most oddly. In Act 5 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] commanded the doctor to get Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] to rest. He knew that his wife wasn't getting a good night's sleep. He knew that she was anguishing mentally over murderous memories and aching emotionally over murderous deeds. He might have remembered her comment, from Act 2 Scene 2, that thinking about one's foul deeds would serve only to drive one insane.

The real king Macbeth's wife's name was Gruoch (you can see why Shakespeare didn't use it). It was her second marriage; by her first to Gillecomlan she had a son, Lulach, who succeeded Macbeth as king.

Um... the witches were female characters in the play. They weren't originally played by female actresses though, because in that era and culture, it was taboo for females to act on stage... so men often took the roles of the women characters, wearing wigs.

Malcolm and Donalbain first react to the news of their father's murder with confusion, then with a kind of dull amazement that they are not capable of showing grief at this time. Macbeth is going on about how overcome he was with anger on seeing Duncan dead, and Lady Macbeth is keeling over in a faint, and Malcolm and Donalbain say nothing. But their grief is genuine, and that of the Macbeths is not. This feeling is shortly replaced by fear, the fear that they are next on the list. That was probably true enough.

Macbeth's ambition blinds him to the other possibilities.

A. an anonymous messenger warns her B. her son suggests a plan to run away

C. Ross stays to fight the murderers D. the murders make too much noise

The thunder and lightning are ominous, as the play is a tradegy. Many people end up dying, and the opening scene sets a tone of danger.

Using weather to create an atmosphere in a novel or play is a technique known as pathetic fallacy.

He has become more comfortable using manipulation and murderer to retain the crown. :)your welcome

Macbeth is telling Banquo's ghost not to shake his head at him. Banquo knows that Macbeth had him killed and is filling Macbeth's heart with shame but shaking his gory locks at him. His face is covered in blood and he has many gashes on his head, which is where the blood/gore would be coming from.

It's a two-part answer. One, Macbeth is a traitor and killed the King of Scotland. Macduff is loyal to the rightful heir, Malcolm. Macduff assists Malcolm in the retaking of Dunsinane castle and murders Macbeth. But Macbeth also hired assassins to have Macduffs family murdered. Macduff's wife and children were all murdered after he fled to England with Malcolm.

In Shakespeare's play, we don't know anything about him except that he escaped Macbeth's hired murderers. But in Holinshed's Chronicles, the book Shakespeare got the story from, we learn that he fled to Wales where he had a family, and that his descendants eventually became the family of the Stuarts, who became the royal family when one of them married Marjorie Bruce.

Elizabethian audiences loved elaborate sword-play, and a stage direction such as 'they fight' tells little of what might have been very continual and complex stage action. The humour of act 1 scene 1 makes us forget about the seriousness of the fight; and therefore holds the attention of the audience before the actual action begins.

they also liked the sexual aspect of play as it was a huge thing in these times.

They Heavily Related To The Play In Many Aspects. Men Because They Would Do Anything To Have The Power, And Women Because They Were So Used To Having To Do As They Were Told By Men.

Juliet Is Told That She Will Marry Paris Or She Will Die, Which Was The Case For Many Elizabethan Teenagers.

Their Reaction To The Fact That Romeo Is Around Seven Years Older Than Juliet, Is Very Distinct. It Passed Them As An Ordinary, Evry Day Couple...Definately Not How We Would See It Today.

I am not sure which character you mean: Siward, an English general, or Seyton, one of Macbeth's servants.
