    Reading Task Part 2 Macbeth 1. Is Macbeth basically a good man led astray? In the play‚ Macbeth is portrayed as evil. I wouldn’t call Macbeth ’evil’. I would call him disillusioned. He was a good man‚ capable of serving his family‚ the royal family and the country nobly. He was an efficient soldier and worthy of respect. It was his ambition that became the cause of his downfall. He let his vaulting ambition get the better of his morals‚ his values and defeat his clear sense of

    Tragedy of MacbethMacbeth is portrayed as a character that has many of the same characteristics of a Greek tragic hero. Due to the similarities between Aristotle’s principles of tragic hero and Macbeth himself‚ it can easily be said that Macbeth’s character is truly a tragic hero. Before Macbeth had committed any evil deeds‚ he was a captain of the army for the Scottish king‚ Duncan. He was also the thane of Glamis‚ which proves that he was of noble eminence. After three witches visit Macbeth and tell

    “THE SHADOW BOX” by Michael Christofer On the night of the 28th of November 2013‚ I had the chance of watch some of the third year Lasalle theatre students produce and perform Michael Christofer’s “The Shadow Box”.

    Aspects of Macbeth What are the main sources of evil in the play? How does Shakespeare get this across to an audience?  The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story‚ but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere.

I feel when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth he meant it

    Macbeth Paper Because we first hear of Macbeth in the wounded captain’s account of his battlefield valor‚ our initial impression is of a brave and capable warrior. This perspective is complicated‚ however‚ once we see Macbeth interact with the three witches. We realize that his physical courage is joined by a consuming ambition and a tendency to self-doubt—the prediction that he will be king brings him joy‚ but it also creates inner turmoil. Shakespeare uses Macbeth to show the terrible effects
