In conclusion Macbeth is villain. He is responsible for his own actions. Macbeth didn't have to kill Duncan, he made his own decisions.
After Lady Mac's death, things start to unravel . A sevent tells Maceth the forest is moving up the hill. Macbeth is getting nervous. The army overcomes the castle, Macduff enters. A few men chalange him. But no one has any success. Macbeth finds out Macduff isn't women born. They fight and Macbeth loses his head. The king is overcome and Malcome is crowned the new king.
Lady Macbeth can't take the guitlt she constatly is trying to wash blood off her hands. Even though there is none. She writes a letter confessing what she did and that she is sorry and ends her letter with long live the king. Lady Macbeth makes her finale decision and takes a plunge to her death. This just adds to Macbeths pile pill of stress.
One stormy night Macbeth goes to visit the Witches. At the witches cave. They give him a potion to see the these four apparisions:
1) Beware of Macduff.
2)None of women born shall harm Macbeth.
3)Macbeth will not lose his crown until the Great Burnium Wood Forest rises to Dunsinane Hill.
4)He sees Banquo's desendents.
macbeth is not worried because he knows all men are women born an forests can't move. No one will overcome him. Little does he know Macduff's mother had a seasection, and armies will use trees as camoflage as they rise overe Dunsinane Hill.
Remember the third prophicey said that Fleance(Banquo's son) was to be king. So Macbeth hires two guys to kill them. They track them down in a forest and Banquo is killed, but Fleance escapes. Macbeth is furious, when he finds out. Fleance was the one he really wanted dead.
Later at dinner he starts seeing things, he sees Banquo's ghost. Lady Mac, tries to clam him and eventually tells everyone to go home. People are starting to get suspicious.
Thi is where Macbeth hires people to kill Banquo and Fleance. " My genius is rebuk'd , as it is said Mark Antony's was by Caesar. He chid the sisters When first they put the name of the king upon me, and bade them speak to hom, then, prophet-like, They hail'd him father to a line of kings. Upon my head they plac'd a fruitless crown, And put a barren sceptre in my gripe." Macbeth.
Lady Macbeth does indeed come up with a plan. Duncan is coming to Glamis. When he gets tired he with go to bed and she will take up some wine and get his two chamberlins drunk. Then she will ring the bell to que Macbeth . Macbeth will take the chamberlins daggers and kill Duncan. This makes the two chamberlins look guilty. They get blamed. But Macbeth kills them. Will this change the plan?
In these following quotes Lady Mac. is saying she wants to kill Duncan.
"Unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top full of dearist cruelty." Lady Macbeth.
"Your hand and tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't."Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth sends Lady Macbeth a letter telling her about the prophicies and how some of the witches predictions have already come true. She decides she wants to kill the king. Because she wants to be Queen. Macbeth agrees, but after a while he starts thinking about the consequences if they are caught. He changes his mind he doesn't want to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth is ferious when she hears this, and she calls her husband a coward. Of course Macbeth changes his mind again because he doesn't want to be called a coward. Lady Mac. tells Macbeth not to worry about the matter. She will make up a plan. And so she does.
Now Macbeth hears this and he starts thinking that he could become king. If he kills his cousin (King Duncan) he will be king. After all he is Thane of Glamis. Then he finds out that Macdonwald (Thane of Cawdor) was exicuted for being a traitor to the king. King Duncan makes Macbeth Thane of Cawdor. Now he is really starting to believe these prophicies are true. He is hesitent to kill the king but will his greed drive him to murder Duncan? We will soon find out.
This Quote shows Macbeth is cnsidering killing Duncan. " Do you not hope your children shall be kings, When those that give Thane of Cawdor to me Promis'd no less to them." Macbeth.
It all started when the three witches told Macbeth the four prophicies :- Macbeth will be Thane of Glamis.
- Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor.
- Macbeth will be king.
- Banquo's son (Fleance) will be king.
