1. The theme of the story is, "never bight the hand that feeds you." I chose this as a theme because Macbeth was persuaded by his wife, Lady Macbeth, to kill King Duncan, a man who had trust in Macbeth. Toward the end of the story Lady Macbeth ends up committing suicide and Macbeth gets killed.
2. Macbeth is doomed not by fate but by flaw in his character because he was a weak person. Macbeth let Lady Macbeth tell him what to do and how to be a man. If Macbeth had a mind of his own and was a strong minded man he maybe could have avoid the situations he was in.
3. Macbeth mistake is not that he is ambitious, but that he enslaves his ambition to service of evil. Macbeth was using ambition to get higher up in society by killing off those greater then him. He let the thought of power and control get to his head. …show more content…
4.
Malcom honor and virtue are a foil to Macbeth’s treachery and evil. Upon hearing his family is dead Macduff says, "I must also feel it as a man." Macduff has honor and love for his family that he is emotional at the loss. Being a man is the least of his worries knowing that it was his fault that his family was murdered. Unlike Macduff, Macbeth hides his true feeling.
5. Shakespeare explores Macbeth behavior in the play by showing how much he thinks he is better than everyone else. He feels as though he is untouchable. Macbeth kills a man staying in his house and feels no sorrow.
6. Shakespeare captures the human psyche in the imagery of Macbeth by showing what the character thoughts were. Lady Macbeth was so eager about killing the man she had no sign of
sadness.
7. Yes, the play suggest that life is meaningless because you can have life but choose to do nothing valuable with it. You have to make wise choices that you won’t regret. What others say or think shouldn’t interfere with any decision you feel is good for you. The word life means nothing until you make it into something.
8. Macbeth starts off as a coward. He let his wife question his man hood and make him feel less of a man. We felt sympathy for him because he was being persuaded to do evil for power. Once he became a shame to his nation we loss pity for him. Malcom hears that Macbeth is bad but he is sticking to his side and not worrying about what theirs may say or think.
9. By the end of the play Lady Macbeth and Macbeth changes because Macbeth is happy in the ending when his wife dies. Which shows that his heart is somewhere else and that in the beginning his feelings were just a cover up. Lady Macbeth changes because in the beginning she was so confident about killing Duncan but later on started feeling guilty and having hallucinations about it.
10. Shakespeare challenges the gender roles because he showed how Lady Macbeth controlling. Lady Macbeth controlled her husband, but usually it’s the man who has the power over the woman because they feel dominated.
11. An incident where Macbeth changed was in the end when he didn’t care about his wife being dead. He showed no remorse and said that someone should have been killed her. Also, he killed Macduff family with no remorse which shows he does have an evil side.
12. The internal conflict Macbeth dealt with was his conscious. He could not deal with whether or not go through with the murder. His external conflict was his wife, she pressured him into killing King Duncan. He could not stand up to her.
