Would you be the one to blame; or the person who committed the crime? In Shakespeare the biggest tragedy is the killing of Duncan. Some would say Macbeth is the one to blame, which others would blame it on Lady Macbeth. In this essay I will show you the points on why Lady Macbeth is to be blamed; because she pushed Macbeth to kill Duncan, when she comes into the play she turns Macbeth evil, and she is engrossed in becoming the queen of Scotland. First, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth into killing the king
forgive yourself? Macbeth and Lady Macbeth murdered the King of Scotland, Duncan; they did it so that Macbeth could become King, and fulfil the prophecies he was told. Macbeth was Duncan’s cousin and noble, he was suppose to be able to be trusted. When the murder was first committed Macbeth felt guilty and like a monster, he didn’t know how to handle himself but Lady Macbeth was okay with it and didn’t feel any guilt at all and said it was for the best. Throughout the play, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s
Your honour, gentlemen of the jury. You have heard countless amounts of testimonies and you have seen the evidence; it is now time for you to decide what Macbeths fate will be. It is your God given duty to keep monsters like Macbeth of our streets. It is your God given duty to bring justice to this malevolent man.

“That will never be” (4.1.94). Little did Macbeth know that it would happen and he would be killed. All during the play, Macbeth hears prophecies from the weird sisters. Like anyone else, he tries to interpret the twisted words of the witches. The only problem is that he is listening to witches; witches always speak in riddles and the meaning behind their words is always murky. With such murky meanings, there is no telling what Macbeth would do. All of his actions were not determined by the prophecies
Right from the first act, it is recognizable that the characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the tragedy, Macbeth have a contrast in their relationship that no one else has. Throughout the development of their characters, they both experience thoughts relating to innocence, responsibility and power. As they both realize that each theme plays a part in their mind’s corruption, their sense of humanity starts to break with them. In the play, both characters are influenced by the themes of innocence
In the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is known as a tragic hero who is destroyed by his own selfish ambitions. At the beginning of this play, Macbeth is portrayed as a courageous and noble hero. Although as this play progresses, Macbeth soon becomes a tyrant king who is willing to murder and under cut anyone who gets in his way. The characters who helped encourage Macbeth into his downfall were the witches, his wife Lady Macbeth and ultimately himself. Even though, the witches
In Shakespeare's Play, Macbeth, Macbeth was a cruel man who used the act of murder to gain power. The killings weren’t just Macbeth’s fault, even though he committed some of them himself and is mostly responsible. In Banquo’s murder, the weird sisters, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and the two murderers were partly responsible for the murder but, they are guilty in different ways. The weird sisters were partly responsible for Banquo’s murder. The three witches are at fault for Banquo’s murder because
play “Macbeth”, ambition was the one fatal flaw that caused Macbeths downfall. But is he really to blame, or was it others that triggered his aspiration to become king? In this play, there are three main characters that influenced his choices that led him to his wrongdoings; the witches, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth himself. I believe the witches are considerably accountable for Macbeth’s downfall. When Macbeth and Banquo first met the witches, they gave Macbeth three prophecies “All hail Macbeth, hail

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth displays immoral and hideous behavior, yet still manages to evoke some feelings of sympathy and perhaps even congeniality rather than animosity from the readers. Perhaps it is because we travel along with him through his journey of rise and fall, perhaps it is because of our first impressions about him, and perhaps it is because we blame other characters for the decisions he makes. Although there
