Later in the play, Macbeth requests to see The Witches. Macbeth meets with the witches, and they give him three apparitions. The first apparition said to beware of Macduff, while the second said, "Be bloody, bold, and resolute.

In the Shakespeare play, Macbeth, Macbeth is responsible for all the deaths in the play because Macbeth didn’t have to do anything about the prophecies, he could have chosen not to kill King Duncan, and Macbeth decided all on his own to have Macduff’s family killed.

These predictions are effective in attracting Macbeth's attention because they feed off his desire for what they promise. At this point in the play he is the newly

There were many wrongs committed in "MacBeth." But who should bear the major responsibility for these actions? The witches' prophesising? Lady MacBeth's scheming and persuasion? Or should MacBeth himself be held responsible? No doubt the witches and lady MacBeth influenced MacBeth in the course of action he took in his rise to power, but ultimately he must bear the major responsibility for his fate.

When presented with temptation of something greater, humans are not always in control of their choices, in fact most of the time they will unconsciously try to fulfill that temptation without realizing it. In Macbeth, the character Macbeth and others as well, get many visions of what they can possibly grasp. For instance when Macbeth gets a vision about him being king, Lady Macbeth and him set out to fulfill this, setting aside all morals in important decisions. This is just one of many ways in Macbeth that shows that humans aren’t in charge of themselves, and Macbeth is used as a character to not only show this, but to move the plot along with the help of the witches as it happens.

He felt guilty before the murder and he didn’t tell Lady Macbeth no. She was calling him things that were not manly. He decided to take that bate and go on with the plan.

Macbeth takes his trip to the witches and it is there that he experiences his third hallucination, a four-part apparition that foretells his fate in an indefinite matter once again. The first apparition is an armed head that tells him, “Beware Macduff! /Beware the Thane of Fife!” (4.1.81-82) Macbeth has already had suspicions of Macduff and the apparition just confirms what he has already feared. The second apparition, a bloody child, says, “Laugh to scorn/ The power of man, for none of woman born/ shall harm Macbeth.” (4.1. 90-92) Macbeth rejoices to know that no man will beat him that was born of a woman, and he assumes that Macduff was born of a woman.

Who is to blame for Macbeth’s downfall? Himself, the witches/supernatural influences, his wife? Discuss. In Shakespeare’s dramatic tragedy, ‘Macbeth’, the concept of the ‘true antagonist’ is explored and harbingers the tragic downfall of the character Macbeth.

Macbeth is one of the most famous tragic plays written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare uses real, historical people from the Holinshed’s Chronicle. To make the play tragic and disastrous, Shakespeare tweaks the true story to fictional story. Macbeth in the play Macbeth is the main character who later becomes the tragic antagonist of the play. There are several people or even circumstances influence Macbeth to become vicious.

But the witches who could supposedly foretell the future, add temptation, and influence Macbeth. They had told Macbeth that he would be King he became impatient and tried to hurry it as quickly as he could. But they cannot control his destiny. Macbeth creates his own misery when he is driven by his own sense of guilt. This causes him to become insecure as to the reasons for his actions, which in turn causes him to commit more murders. The witches offer great enticement, but it is in the end, each individual’s decision to fall for the temptation, or to be strong enough to resist their captivation. The three Witches are only responsible for the introduction of these ideas and for further forming ideas in Macbeth head, but they are not responsible for his actions throughout the play.

William Shakespeare's Macbeth is the original Game of Thrones – a dark epic tale of ambition, betrayal and murder set in the wilds of the Scottish highlands. A crucial scene occurs towards the end of the play, were Macbeth is finally brought up to the correct punishment for his crimes. In this day and age, however, his actions would have branded him a psychotic serial killer, leaving him to wrestle with the monumental consequences that are established for him from a proceeding legal war. So today, I will present the case that follows the beheading of King Macbeth, where I, the prosecuting lawyer, put forward the case that justifies the murder of Macbeth, and charges him as a guilty tyrant.

They dance around the cauldron and add in the poisoned entrails, chanting: “double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”(Shakespeare, 1996). Macbeth enters and insists that they answer to his questions. The witches call upon the apparition’s: “come, high or low; Thyself and office deftly show!”(Shakespeare, 1996) The three apparitions all have different forewarnings for him, the first being that he must “Beware Macduff”, the is that “none of woman born shall harm Macbeth” and the last warning is that he hasn’t to fear because “Macbeth shall never vanquished until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill” (Shakespeare, 1996), All these being impossible in the eyes of Macbeth.

The first apparition is an armed head that warns him to beware of the Thane of Fife or Macduff. The second apparition is a bloody child. It tells him that no man born from a woman can hurt nor harm him. As a result of this, Macbeth thinks he is invincible and no one can defeat him. The third apparition is a child with a crown and a tree in his hand. It tells Macbeth that he will remain king until Birnam Wood comes to the Dunsine hill where the castle lies. Macbeth assumed that the woods could not get up and move up a hill to reach the castle; so, this boosted his confidence and recklessness. The fourth apparition is a show of eight kings followed by the ghost of Banquo. According to Upton's connotation of the apparitions in Critical Observations on Shakespeare, the armed head represents Macbeth's head cut off and brought to Malcom by

All along, they knew what Macbeth's fate would be, and even though they acted like they could be trusted, they knew what the inevitable outcome for Macbeth would be.
