A Sense Of Justice In Macbeth By William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is famous for his numerous tragic plays, and Macbeth is one of those tragedies. Like most tragedies, the characters must meet an end that would give the audience a sense of justice. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, justice prevails and the characters got what they had coming to them. Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macduff are three of the characters that end up with what they each deserve. Macduff had done only what was right for Scotland and its people, yet his family had been brutally murdered by Macbeth’s henchmen. Macduff’s family had paid the price for Macduff’s righteousness. Aligning with human nature, Macduff was furious and vengeful at Macbeth. As the final battle drove on, Macduff served his revenge to Macbeth. Macduff had been the one who had slain the tyrant to avenge his dearly departed
Macbeth had murdered many innocents like Macduff’s family just for a fruitless crown. He committed all of those murders out of fear and paranoia of losing his precious crown. Macbeth was once a brave and valiant soldier, but he turned into a tyrant that simply thrived for power and glory. For him to be not only slain by Macduff, Macbeth had also lost the people who had cared about him. He lost all the trust of his friends who become his enemy and his wife kills herself over guilt of tainting her husband as well as killing innocents. Macbeth loses all meaning to his life which led to him becoming empty inside. That truly is a fitting end to him because for the audience, Macbeth deserves to suffer before reaching a bittersweet death. He basically tortured others by placing the burden of family death and also killing people for invalid reasons. The pain he had inflicted to others had hit him back tenfold. To be killed off would have not given a cathartic effect to the audience, rather it would disappoint them. Macbeth died after suffering for quite a while which almost evens up the pain he inflicted on
