Macbeth

it means that one should use what ever they have to get where they want to be, to Macbeth this means that he should kill his king in order to become king

There was a lot of rhyming which Shakespeare only used when ending an act or when the witches were casting a spell. Hecate is not casting a spell but still rhymes throughout her monologue. The witches speak in iambic tetrameter not iambic pentameter. The witches are not portentous but silly fairies like the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream, which does not match their appearance in Act 1. And here's the clincher: two of the songs they are supposed to sing and dance around to are known to have been written, not by Shakespeare, but by Thomas Middleton, who used them in his own play The Witch, which was written some ten years after Macbeth. It is thought that Middleton, who was working for the King's Men at the time, was asked to tart up this old play by the addition of some new scenes and dialogue featuring Hecate, a character from The Witch. Act 3 Scene 5 and parts of Act 4 Scene 1 are the result.

Act I.7 line 35

The Old Man represents the sexual pleasure of the common man. In Scene 4, Act 2 he says "Hours dreadful and things strange, but this sore night"

MacBeth

no

I suspect that you are correct.

Lady Macbeth dies before young Siward is slain by Macbeth. Lady Macbeth may have been murdered but it is usually interpreted by most that she commits suicide.

All of the above

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.

Depends. DO u believe that if the witches had not prophesized anything, would u still think his intents were still evil and on usurping the throne? We aren't left to know, but one thing i can say was he is only human, so... hope that helps. Just think about it.

he is afraid that Macbeth will do something bad to cheat his way into being king. this does end up happening and after he and his wife kill king Duncan, banquo is left with suspicion that Macbeth had something to do with it.

Lady M never shows what you might call tenderness, but she does show vulnerability as things get out of her control. In particular her line "Nought's had, all's spent, where our desire is got without content. 'Tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy." (Act III Scene 2) shows genuine and deep regret. In this scene and in scene 4 Lady M tries to deal with her husband as she used to, but he is beyond the range of her influence. At the end of scene 4, as Macbeth carries on with the bloody imagery, she says, "You lack the season of all natures, sleep." Possibly she may be sympathizing with insomnia which is one of the causes of his insanity. And then there's the line, "If he had not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it." which shows that she would have some qualms about stabbing her father to death. (Unless this is just an excuse and the truth is that Lady M can only persuade, not act on her own.)

lennox is the nobleman who talks about the bad weather the night of the murder of king duncan and he tells Macbeth later about the fact that macduff has gone to enland.

As all performances are before an audience, we presume that a number of people watched the play when it was performed for the first time. The first person we know of who watched a performance of the play was a man called Simon Forman who saw it at the Globe in 1610 or 1611--long after its first performance.

Macbeth's plot worked against Banquo, who had his throat slit. But it didn't work against Banquo's son Fleance, who escaped. In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] met with two murderous thugs. The meeting ironed out the details for the murder of the father-and-son rivals to the throne of Scotland. In Act 3 Scene 3, the two murderers were joined by a third. Between the three of them, they only managed to slit Banquo's throat. Perhaps they had counted on Fleance to stay and defend his life and that of his father's. But Fleance ran.

I was wondering the same thing ... -.-

lady Macbeth prays to be unsexed because she thinks her femininity makes her weak she is too kind and gentle she needs her kindness to be taken away so she can plan the murder and make Macbeth kill king duncan

She was haunted by the experince of killing King Duncan, and commited suicide.

In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] met with the three witches a second time. He wanted to know how secure his kingship would be. The witches let Macbeth know that he had nothing to fear as long as Birnam Wood didn't move to Dunsinane and as long as he didn't meet up with a man who hadn't been born of a woman. Both predictions seemed unlikely to Macbeth. He didn't consider the possible practical implementations of either prediction. For example, he didn't think of cutting off and carrying tree parts while marching. Neither did he think of the man who had to be delivered, not born, by Caesarian section from a dead mother.

In Act 1 Scene 7, Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] was trying to keep her husband on course with their plan to kill King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. But Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] kept trying to back out. Lady Macbeth criticized him for his lack of persistence, perseverance, constancy, and consistency. She said that if she followed his example, she could stop nursing her child on a dime. She could throw him away from his feeding and let him bash his brains out from the impact [Lines 56-59].

Yes, the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' is relevant to contemporary students. The play deals with a brave, nobleman who's on the 'A' list. But he's ambitious, impatient, and vulnerable to persuasive influences from the supernatural and from his ambitious, passionate, ruthless, scheming wife. His fatal, tragic flaws are understandable - but still unacceptable - against the wild, uncertain backdrop of home-grown rebels and foreign enemies. He has it all, he wants more, and he can't wait what with the uncertainty of the times.

In Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 45-46, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] said, 'Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,/Till thou applaud the deed'. He made this statement to his wife [b. c. 1015] in reference to the murderous fate in store for Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance. The significance of the statement was Macbeth's planning something heinous on his own, without his usual collaboration from start to finish with Lady Macbeth.
