Macbeth - Scenes 1 To 3
.... with the emphasis of lightning, thunder and darkness. Shakespeare instantly creates a mood of terror and unearthly evil. The audience is immediately plunged into the midst of things and captures their attention by introducing them to the main themes, evil and good, in an effective way. The witches are highly ambiguous creatures that create a sense of mystery. As the witches do not invite Macbeth to or even suggest the idea of killing Duncan, I feel that they are only symbolic of evil and temptation, and .....

Macbeth 3
.... We no longer think that the "perfect" family consists of a mother and a father in the same home. Affairs in marriages are even becoming more and more common. The President of the United States openly admitted to having improper sexual relations outside of marriage and still remains in office.
With the new millennium fast approaching, we can expect to see more and more changes in society. There could be more advances in the field of technology and in the way that the world lives, or there could be .....

Macbeth 6
.... anyone.....and thats not saying much.
she is a tender woman, sweet and kind. But on the inside, she is a pure murderer with no concious. The entire plot to kill Duncan was thought up by Lady Macbeth alone. She ridicules Macbeth for feeling guilt and remorse. She got angry at him when he could not place the daggers on the murderers. Lady Macbeth does all these horrible acts, just so that she may become queen. Ultimately though, her actions lead to her demise (self induced?). Lady Macbeths character is that of someone without remorse or guil .....

Macbeth 4
.... visibly loyal to him. Still Macbeth fears Banquo because he is a good guy and is very respected. Macbeth is spineless because he even believes that his friend is after him and is a danger to his throne. Macbeth says “our fears in Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared”. Macbeth is pusillanimous to the point that he even believes that his friend posses the greatest opposition for him as king. As well as this Macbeth is also a coward because he himself .....

Macbeth 7
.... of killing Duncan in, 3.1, “ Thou hast it now—King, Glamis, Cawdor, all as the weird sisters promised, and yet I fear thou has played most foully for it.” MacBeth knows of this so he hires people to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance. That murder is committed in 3.4. When MacBeth finds out they have only killed Banquo and not Fleance he gets angry. When he returns to the table none other than the ghost of Banquo greets him. He gets pretty freaked out by this and he says, “Thou ca .....

Macbeth As A Tragic Hero
.... This passage is clearly demonstrating that Macbeth cannot fit in these garments. They are not meant to and the clothing imagery is therefor effective.
The second form of imagery used to add to the atmosphere is the imagery of darkness. Macbeth, a Shakespearean tragedy contains and demonstrates the darkness in a tragedy. In the play, the design of the witches, the guilt in Macbeth’s soul and the darkness of the night establish the atmosphere. All of the remarkable scenes take place at night .....

Macbeth Blood Will Have Blood
.... toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.”(II, i, 33-34) The first image Macbeth sees is right before he kills Duncan. This image is not really there, yet it makes Macbeth worried. A second later, “and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood /Which was not so before. (II,i, 46-47), there was blood on that imaginary dagger. Macbeth probably appeared very serious and very worried at this time. A dark and lonely setting helped to make Macbeth’s fears even greater. This vision was the fi .....

Macbeth Comperitive Essay
.... is forced to chose between a king who has always been there and supported him, and his wife, whom he dearly loves and cherishes.
Macbeth remains hesitant and uncertain throughout these complications. He wishes to remain loyal but begins to realize that the only way to inherit the throne is through murder. Macbeth's characteristics would have remained the same with the absence of Lay Macbeth, but due to her presence we can slowly see them change. Starting off loyal to Duncan and Scotland, Macbe .....

Macbeth Lit. Analysis
.... blow might be the be-all and the end-all here, but here, upon this bank and shoal of time, we’d jump the life to come. But in these cases we still have judgement here; that we but teach bloody instruction, which being taught, return to the plague of inventor: this even handed justice condemns the ingredients of our poison’d chalice to our own lips. " (Act I, Scene VII) Macbeth has confused feelings about murdering Duncan, his "worthiest cousin." He hesitates to murder Duncan because he is sc .....

Macbeth Relationship Analysis
.... a brave soldier and good man “O valiant cousin, worthy gentleman!” (King Duncan, I, ii, 24). This can be considered a weakness or, perhaps, strength in the relationship, it depends on the point of view. It is a weakness if we analyze Macbeth’s side. He is “…too full o’ the milk of human kindness…that wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false…”
(I, v, 16 & 21). It is strength if we analyze Lady Macbeth’s side. She has a very strong n .....

Macbeth-tragic Hero
....
is rebuked like a schoolboy by his wife and who, on the other
hand, proves himself a lion on the battle field.
(p.95, The character of the Elizabethan Tragic Hero)
Macbeth's vulnerability to the witches is caused by his corrupt desire, which moves him to take a false step. Macbeth is aware that the deed he contemplates is evil from the very beginning. He admits that its 'horrid image' makes his hair stand on end, and his heart knock against his ribs. Macbeth does not have an inclinatio .....

Man Over Nature
.... contaminated the land. The human beings have lost complete respect for nature and will probably have to face the consequences. It is incongruent to think that exploiting a planet will not end up harming all the living things that coexist together in it. In Never Cry Wolf, hunters face the problem of having few caribou to hunt. They immediately blame the wolves of being monstrous and obnoxious beats who savagely devour deer, and never stop to consider the possibility that this problem might be caused by t .....

Marxist Analysis Of Thomas Cro
.... the halo" by using the proletariat as pawns in his respective heists. In the 1968 version he uses five middle class men who are all in some sort of financial trouble to pull off a bank robbery for the mere chance of getting $50,000 each, while Crown would keep $1,750,000 for himself. That is, as Marx would put it, "exploiting the proletariat." At the end of the movie, just as a jest for the police, Crown hires five more men to do the same thing. He is shown constantly using people to do the dang .....

Mary Shelleys Frankenstein Com
.... Felix a family member of the blind man shows up he hits the creature with a broomstick many times showing how many people see only what’s on the outside. In the book Felix tried to shoot him. In the film Elizabeth got her heart ripped out by the creature, and in the book it is not written specifically what the murder method was. The huge plot change near the end, really amazed me. Victor had to bring Elizabeth back to life, because he wanted her so bad. When she realized what Victor had done she .....
