There are may means by which ne can become corrupted by evilness. In William Shakespeare’s play of Macbeth‚ the main characters are described to be controlled by their ambitions.

In literature‚ a foil character is someone who shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualties’ of another character. In Macbeths play I find that a couple characters fit that quality. And the characters are Banquo‚ Malcom‚ maybe King Duncan. Banquo is a foil character because of the fact that in the beginning of the play the witches told Banquo that he’s promised to be father of many kings. Which later in the play we learn that isn’t true. But both Macbeth and Banquo become obsessed with

By DAVIS HARRISON 11/28/10 THESIS: It is said that whilst William Shakespeare was writing his famous tragedy Macbeth‚ he consulted several witches for actual incantations to use in the dialogue. The witches themselves were opposed to the manner in which Shakespeare portrayed them in the script‚ so they placed a curse on the play. Ever since‚ there have been many recorded accidents and tragic occurrences in the making and performance of Macbeth. Are these happenings a matter of circumstance or

1038 A.D. Dear Diary‚ I cannot help but find myself thinking about the three witches prophesies. Part of me thinks it is complete nonsense that I will become king of Scotland. The other part of me thinks it could be so. To accomplish the position of king I would need to commit murder. My dearest Lady Macbeth urges me to control my own future and murder Duncan to obtain the position. But to imagine myself‚ dagger in hand‚ scares me. Our plan seems foolproof but‚ if we should fail‚ I will surely

lose everything he had worked so hard for. He became engulfed in greed and would stop at nothing to gain what he believed was rightly his. He went from somebody who was a strong courageous and well respected man who was an honourable warrior for Scotland.

Macbeth’s disloyalty is a huge flaw in his character and

clears us of this deed: (II. Iii. 67) This perhaps tells Macbeth that it was okay and perhaps this also acts as the catalyst to Macbeth’s later tyranny. Lady Macbeth has been there all along‚ cheering Macbeth on as he ascended to the throne of Scotland. During his celebratory banquet‚ as the king‚ with the thanes‚ Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo and has a fit. Lady Macbeth comes to his rescue‚ Sit‚ worthy friends: my lord is often thus‚ And hath been from his youth: pray you‚ keep seat; (III

How “Bad Luck” is evident in Macbeth PHIL 375 March 30‚ 2012 Many people are superstitious‚ which leads to the belief that “bad luck” is often the cause of tragic circumstances. “Bad luck” can be something as simple as your shoelace breaks to something cataclysmal like a windstorm blows a tree through your living room. McGinn describes tragedy as “a miss match between situation and character” (194) but in Shakespearean literature you need an element of “bad luck” to get a tragedy. McGinn

Macbeth: the Realms of Evil In Shakespeare’s Macbeth ‘The heavens‚ as troubled with man’s act‚ / Threaten his bloody stage. By th’ clock ‘tis day‚ / And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp. / Is’t night’s predominance‚ or the day’s shame‚ / That darkness does the face of earth entomb‚ / When living light should kiss it? The natural order of the universe has collapsed giving rise to the realm of darkness where ‘Men must not walk too late’‚ since things are not what they seem and evil
