Macbeth

Macbeth doesn't tell his wife that he is killing Fleance and Banquo because she has already shown signs of cracking under the strain of the guilty secret of Duncan's murder. For her sake, he is not going to discuss the details of the crime with her. However, he does expect her to "applaud the deed" when she hears what he has done.

Macbeth is passive and makes no additional plans

Macbeth says that he was overcome with hatred for killing a Kind (Duncan) was on the same level as killing God. he couldn't help himself. This makes Macbeth look even more innocent, showing that he is loyal to the king, when really he is the opposite)

According to the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] envied King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. In the play, the King appeared to be an older, much beloved and respected sovereign. Even Macbeth's Lady [b. c. 1015] said that she couldn't kill the King on her own because in sleep he reminded her of her father.

In the process of defeating Macdonweald he unseams him from the nave to the chaps. That is to say, he cut him open from the navel to the chin. Thereafter, he cut off his head and fixed it upon the battlements, which is to say, the castle walls.

"Doubtful it stood; / As two spent swimmers, that do cling together / And choke their art." Act II, Scene 3

The Sergeant compares two sides of the battle to two tired swimmers who cling to each other and drown as a result.

"... fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, / Show'd like a rebel's whore... " Act I, Scene 2

Fortune seemed to favor Macdonwald at first, just as a prostitute favors a man for a short time, but leaves him afterwards.

"And pity, like a naked new-born babe." Act I, Scene 7

Shakespeare is comparing pity to the helplessness of a new-born infant.

Shakespheare shows the relationship of Macbeth lady Macbeth

shakespeare shows they are very close and trust worthy at the start when they have just come from battle. because Macbeth writes a letter to lady Macbeth just when he has come from the battle and they didnt no each other that well but then in mthe letter at the end it says to my dear one

but later in the play there relationship ain't all that because are arguing and angry because they are discussing about kilkling the kingn lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to do but Macbeth dosent want to

What is significant is that it echoes the witches' line "Fair is foul and foul is fair; hover through the fog and filthy air", thus connecting Macbeth with the witches and showing how they anticipate what will happen to him.

And of course both quotations talk about the moral ambiguity of what is and what seems to be in the play.

William Shakespeare. The author of the play about Macbeth is William Shakespeare [baptized April 26, 1564-Aprl 23, 1616]. Shakespeare is considered to be the author of at least 38 plays, two long narrative poems, and 154 sonnets. He is described as the greatest writer in the English language, and the playwright whose works have been more performed than any other plays in the world. Of his plays, many are comedies such as 'Twelfth Night', and histories such as 'Henry IV' and 'Henry V'. And some are categorized as tragicomedies such as 'The Tempest'. But some of his most famous plays are his tragedies such as 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth'.

He doesn't say. Macbeth even asks him whether or not he hopes his children will become kings and Banquo does not answer him.

other play writers might have

I'm not gonna delete that answer, even though i know it's not right. King James I inspired him to write it because of his love for literature and because James had written a book called something like 'Daemonologie' about witches. Also, if you got in the kings good books, he would pay large sums of money, but if you got in his bad books the he would kill you. He only got the throne of England after Queen Elizabeth died.

Although King James may have given Shakespeare an interest in Scottish history, there is no reason to believe that the play was written to please the king particularly. We have records of lots of Shakespeare's plays from around then being played at court, but not Macbeth. We do, however, have a record of Macbeth being played at the Globe.

Lady Macbeth and Macbeth plan to do this when the king is at their castle. He will be so tired after the long journey (from his castle to Macbeths`) and from the meal he will not notice anything. Lady Macbeth plans to make the guards drunk and also give them drugs (so strong it might kill them). When they kill Macbeth then they will blame the guards: she would stain them with blood and place the daggers near them. They will also use the guards daggers to kill the king.

King James was obsessed with witches, and he even wrote a book about them, so Shakespeare added them to the play

Also, it was believed that king James was a descendant of Banquo, so Shakespeare changed history so that Banquo did not assist in the murder of Duncan

King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] made no comment on the actual execution or on the Thane of Cawdor's behavior. His son, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093], indicated that the Thane headed towards his death in a far more admirable way than he hadn't led his life. He was honest about his faults, and equally honest about his desire to be punished. The King merely admitted that the Thane's traitorous behavior had fooled him and taken him off guard. He confessed that he always had considered the Thane dependable, honest, and straightforward. He indicated that he hadn't seen anything of what was coming on the Thane's seemingly kindly, loyal, respectful face.

MacBeth's hubris causes him to believe himself invincible. He fights with MacDuff even after he learns that all the prophecies of the witches concerning his downfall are true. MacBeth is beheaded just like Macdonwald who was beheaded by MacBeth earlier in the play.Macbeth is killed because the guilt inside he could not handle the guilt that was inside of him so Macduff had found out that he was the murderer of the king so he had killed him.

Actually, Macbeth did not believe himself to be invincible or he would not have bothered murdering his enemies. He just hoped he was invincible. Also, Macdonweald was not beheaded; he was "split from the nave to the chaps", from chin to belly button. And Macduff's main motive for killing Macbeth was not to avenge the murder of Duncan but the murder of Macduff's wife and children.

Macbeth is dazed and confused after committing the murder. Lady M has to take the daggers back into the bedroom and smear the sleeping grooms with blood herself. She then pushes Macbeth toward their room so he can get into his nightie and look like he was sleeping when the murder happened.

Macbeth did this to inform Lady M about what had happened so far.By this time,Macbeth was qualified for the throne,but it wasn't guaranteed for him to become king.

That he is so exhausted from the bloodshed caused by his actions that he is almost immune to the pain of death.

In Act 1 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play, friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo met the three witches. The witches astounded Macbeth with their predictions of job advancement. Macbeth was hardworking, and appreciated recognition and reward for good work. He also was ambitious, but practical. He considered the Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland as positions outside of what he reasonably could expect. He commented to the witches that Cawdor was still alive, and had a lot of money and power [Lines 72-73]. He characterized both titles as 'not within the prospect of belief' [Line 74]. The particular incredibility of gaining the kingship may have been based on the character of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and the nature of royal succession. The King may not have been generous in recognition or reward. For example, he gave Macbeth Cawdor's title and possessions. But he gave nothing to Banquo, who also had acquitted himself well in the recent battles against invading Norwegians and rebellious Scotsmen. In the way of another example, the King decided that he'd spend the night at the Macbeth's home at Inverness Castle. That gave Lady Macbeth very little time to prepare the household. Additionally, the King had two sons: Malcolm, who became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]; and Donalbain, who became the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099]. The King bestowed the title of Prince of Cumberland upon Malcolm, his elder son and heir apparent. So it may have looked to Macbeth that his succession to the throne of Scotland had too many obstacles. The reigning King had children who could, and wanted to, succeed him. The reigning King may not have had a reputation for sharing. So why would he buck tradition and let anyone other than his children succeed him?

Nothing. Some people think that he wrote the play to please the king because it is about Scotland, has a flattering reference to James's ancestor Banquo and deals with witches, which were one of the king's pet subjects. However, all of these things were part of the story before Shakespeare got hold of it, in his source material, Holinshed's Chronicles. Holinshed has this to say about the witches and Banquo's decendants:
"when suddenlie in the middest of a laund, there met them thrée women in strange and wild apparell, resembling creatures of elder world, whome when they attentiuelie beheld, woondering much at the sight, the first of them spake and said; "All haile Makbeth, thane of Glammis" (for he had latelie entered into that dignitie and office by the death of his father Sinell.) The second of them said; "Haile Makbeth thane of Cawder." But the third said; "All haile Makbeth that héerafter shalt be king of Scotland." Then Banquho; "What manner of women (saith he) are you, that séeme so little fauourable vnto me, whereas to my fellow heere, besides high offices, ye assigne also the kingdome, appointing foorth nothing for me at all?" "Yes (saith the first of them) we promise greater benefits vnto thée, than vnto him, for he shall reigne in déed, but with an vnluckie end: neither shall he leaue anie issue behind him to succéed in his place, where contrarilie thou in déed shalt not reigne at all, but of thée those shall be borne which shall gouerne the Scotish kingdome by long order of continuall descent."

Macbeth wrote Lady Macbeth a letter describing his encounter with the witches. Lady Macbeth reads it out at the beginning of Act I Scene 5

the witches told Macbeth that he would be king, and he is worried about his role in making the prediction come true.

Since Shakespeare was very poetic and good at literature, other playwrights became jealous of him. Shakespeare's popularity grew and grew while other playwrights' popularity decreased. Then, the playwrights started disliking Shakespeare.
