Macbeth
...urther in this business. He was honored me recently, and I've won great respect form all sorts of people." In Act 2 Scene2, after Macbeth murders Duncan, even he himself describes Duncan's death as "a sorry sight". He says that "Look on't again I dare not". On this stage, Macbeth still has conscience. Not until Act 3 onwards, Macbeths becomes a "butcher" that blood is no longer shed righteously. He kills Banquo and all the people in Macduff's castle. All the people suffer under his tyranny. It's not a fair comment for Lade Macbeth. She is not evil at all times. Though she seems to be screwd, she shows her fears (projection of her guilt).In act 2 Scene2, Lady Macbeth cannot kill Duncan because she sees her own father in Duncan. She says,"Had he not resembled my father as he slept I hadn't done't". She is conscience-stricken. In Act 5scene1, she suffers form sleepwalking which shows her inner guilt. It says "the smell of the blood is still there. All the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten this little hand". Though she did persuade Macbeth to kill, her heart is heavy-burdened with guilt. We can see that it's not a fair comment on the Macbeths. They aren't "butcher" and "fiend" all through. This story is overwhelmed with human weakness .Weakness breed evilness. Weakness makes evilness prevail to do harm and to harm you. When you could not resist temptation, hidden ambition reveals. You will commit more wrong doings to achieve the goal. That is human weakness. Weakness can turn to evilness under overwhelming ambition. For an example Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo and he wonders "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? NO". He sees their own guilt .He sees them after he commits immoral crimes (evilness). He commits crimes as he is overflowed with ambition and lust (his character flaw). That is his fatal flaw that allows evilness to grow and to do harm. They are not victims only of the powers of darkness. Darkness symbolizes evilness. They are the one who let their own evilness prevail. They are easily tempted, supernatural powers just act as a stimulant. They have their desireˇXto be king and queen. They use the prophecies as an excuse to get the throne by foul means. Macbeth has a choice not to be tempted, yet he chooses to be tempted. The same temptation is given to Banquo. Banquo choose to resist it. Though he knows that his sons will succeed after Macbeth, he does not let evil to harm him. So, the Macbeths can blame no one, but themselves. Lady Macbeth is to be sympathized. She persuades Macbeth to seize power just because she loves him. She just does what an ordinary wife should do, to support her husband and to help him to the road of success. She doesn't know that the murder of Duncan will fasten the downfall of Macbeth. On the contrary, Macbeth is not to be sympathized, yet he is a tragic hero. He deserves his ...
