Imagery in Macbeth “Fair is foul and foul is fair.” The Witches‚ Act 1 Scene 1 I feel that this quote depicts an extremely powerful image of appearance verses reality. The witches are foul but they give fair advice. Macbeth may seem like the nation’s hero and posses all the qualities of kingship‚ but in reality he is a ruthless‚ power hungry dictator. As it is the last line of the first scene in the entire play‚ it is very powerful and sets the idea of foreshadowing events to come in the play

between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The Macbeth we first encounter is an important and valued member of his society and the favorite of his king. His bravery and loyalty are celebrated and‚ though fierce in battle‚ we are led to believe that his is a fundamentally good and virtuous nature. By the plays end‚ however‚ he has ’supped full of horrors’ and is regarded as a ’hell-hound’ by his peers.

The tragedy of “Macbeth‚" by William Shakespeare‚ follows the fall of Macbeth from a man in a position of power with a contented life‚ to a man with nothing but “mouth honor” and a corrupted soul. In this essay‚ I wish to show to what extent Macbeth’s tragedy was his own fault. The downfall of Macbeth begins early on in the play when he and Banquo (a fellow Scottish noble) meet the witches. The witches waylay Macbeth and Banquo whilst they were on their way to meet Duncan‚ King of Scotland. They
