Macbeth
"Shakespeare's Macbeth invites us to look into the world of a man driven by a ruthless ambition and tortured by regret"
Macbeth, A tragic hero, a lost sole, merciless murderer. Whatever you may see him as, you must acknowledge that firstly he is solely driven by his own vicious ambition which leads to his demise.The effects of Lady Macbeth and the Witches are only implements of which Macbeth's conscience uses to get him where he needs to be.
Secondly, Macbeth is tortured by regret and remorse even before he begins his spree as tyrant.Macbeth's weak mind is unable to handle the regret of killing another human being, he is manipulated by outward forces but evidently is stricken with the guilt of his decisions throughout the play. These two sources will be why we may feel sympathetic for Macbeth in the end.
We first hear of Macbeth as a honorable and worthy soldier, who would risk his life for his country in a split second. He is also perceived to be violent and malicious, but this can be overlooked because of the heat of battle and built up anger/rage is put into these fights.Macbeth seems to be on the track to glory and victory in both aspects of life.Then this ambition that is built up inside of him is ignited like a match, when he speaks to the witches of their futures.This small flame, which Macbeth has not realized has been unleashed will turn into something uncontrollable.Macbeth is quite disorientated by the meeting and wonders if he can be king, just by chance or does he have to believe in the foretelling and do something himself to accomplish such a goal."This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth." The thoughts of killing Duncan come to Macbeth's mind once again, as his ambition gets the better of him and
Macbeth now feels it is time to receive a push from Lady Macbeth, so he has the strength to go through with such a horrible deed he cannot
