Macbeth
Macbeth
The tragedy of "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, follows the fall from a man in a position of power, with a content life to a man with nothing but hollow words and a dammed soul. In this essay I wish to show to what level Macbeth s tragedy was his own carelessness.
It all started with the statement "fair is foul and foul is fair"(act 1 scene 1) made by the three witches. Momentarily the downfall of Macbeth begins early on in the play when he and Banquo meet the three witches on the way back from the winning battle.They decide to listen to the witches out of sheer curiosity.

Macbeth was standing but the rage of fire was ignited in his heart, the seed of change is planted.

At this point he begins to suffer the start of his many breakdowns and he begins to lose his human characteristics. Each person killed has resulted in another that needs to be killed. With each kill
