Macbeth
|
|
|
“Macbeth” by William Shakespeare is the story of a brave, honourable soldier who ruins his life due to his own greed for power, respect and wealth. The story starts with Macbeth as the king’s favourite soldier, a very respectful, honourable man. Macbeth then is told by the witches his life will change for the better – “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter! ... In a desperate effort to obtain this promised position of King, Macbeth takes his fate in his own hands. ... The story ends with the pathetic Macbeth being killed, therefore losing all that he finally had. ...
I believe much of what happened to Macbeth was his own fault. ... Before this incident, Macbeth’s thoughts were fairly honourable toward the king and although he understood that if Duncan died, he could take his place, he did not think of killing him. However, after his encounter with the witches, Macbeth found out that he was the new Thane of Cawdor. ... Macbeth now had two choices. The first option was what Macbeth originally decided upon – to ignore what the witches said, and wait and see if anything else happened; “If chance will have me king, why, chance my crown me, without my stir”. The other option was to do what Macbeth chose to do eventually, and to take fate into his own hands and make the predictions happen. Macbeth decided to leave it to fate first, then changed his mind, to kill Duncan.
