    and even in plays. In Act 1 of Macbeth you can see how easily one’s internal thoughts can be completely different from the facade that they put up front. Nobody really ever knows anybody because you can not see what kind of person they truly are. Even the innocent ones look suspicious. When Macbeth first meets the witches there seems to be a little tension. While the witches praise him saying “Hail!” “Hail!” “Hail!” (lines 62-64) Banquo gets the impression that Macbeth “is wrapped withal” (line 57)

    "Come‚ you spirits; That tend on mortal thoughts‚ unsex me here…" In Macbeth‚ William Shakespeare writes this passage in order to tell us about the character of Lady Macbeth.

    Shakespeare uses vivid and powerful forms of imagery to let the audience visualize the setting. Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a strong woman who is attracted to power and would do anything to be in control; she is anything but an elegant and sensitive woman. After the bloodshed begins‚ however‚ Lady Macbeth falls an easy prey to insanity and guilt. Her soliloquy (5.1.24-30) shows her decline into madness when she says‚“out damned spot...” There are many examples of visual and aural imagery throughout

Upon hearing of Macbeth’s supposed greatness‚ Lady Macbeth expresses both her excitement‚ as well as doubt in her husband’s abilities. In Act I Scene V line 16 she states‚ “Yet do I fear thy

    William Shakespeare illustrated this in his play Macbeth. Some may say that the weird sisters within the play are responsible for the actions of Macbeth and that his wife‚ Lady Macbeth‚ acted as a catalyst to persuade and manipulate Macbeth to commit regicide‚ but truly all they did was simply put thoughts into his head. They set the play in motion but Macbeth is fully responsible for his own

    writers ever‚ I’ve always had an issue with his play Macbeth. When I first read it in seventh grade‚ I decided that maybe I didn’t like it because I simply didn’t get it‚ being a seventh grader; however‚ after recently rereading it in an attempt to change my mind and see a new side to the book‚ I found my opinion unchanged. While clearly famous for its portrayal of the consequences of unchecked ambition and its commentary on the human experience‚ Macbeth fails to properly address women. Unless the lack
