    There are many different viewpoints as to who was the real driving force behind Macbeth and his ascent to power. There is the possibility of outside forces‚ including Lady Macbeth and the witches but also he could be victim to inner desires and ambitions which is the human condition which he could not control. The contrasting viewpoint is that Macbeth is the villain and that he chose to kill Duncan without much persuasion from any outer forces. It was his choice and he made it in a clear mind with

    At the end of the play‚ Malcolm describes Macbeth as a butcher. Do you think Macbeth is merely presented as a butcher? I somewhat disagree with Malcom’s view that Macbeth is ‘merely’ portrayed as a butcher‚ but rather has an excessive ambition influenced by other characters enabling him to endure ‘butcher’ tendencies. It seems unjust for Malcolm to describe Macbeth as a “dead butcher” because at the beginning of the play he is a Scottish nobleman and shows courage and bravery in battle. He killed

    I‚ much like my husband‚ am deeply driven by ambition and can admit that I lust for reign. Power is in fact a guilty pleasure but I for one will never cease to strive for it.

    Free Will‚ he refutes Martin Luther’s creed that God predestines everyone’s lives and instead asserts that man alone possesses the power to choose his own path to either salvation or damnation. The play Macbeth‚ by William Shakespeare‚ raises similar questions – did the protagonist‚ Macbeth‚ willingly choose to commit such atrocities as killing the king and his court to feed his own ambition‚ or did he merely play the role of a pawn‚ performing that which fate bade him do? Amid much controversy over
