'Macbeth vs. Lady Macbeth\r'

'In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the tragic poor boy or the grand and virtuous region, Macbeth is destined for ruining as he brings suffering and defeat upon himself. However, this affirmation can be widely debatable, as many would assume that noblewoman Macbeth also accepts an immense role in the carrying into action of Duncan, the beginning of the tragedy. Early in the bosomen, Macbeth encounters three witches or supernatural beings that foretell his future as the unseasoned power of Scotland. Intrigued by their prophecies, Macbeth places faith in their words.Macbeth’s wife, dame Macbeth, is instrumental in his ambition, manipulating him, as they both scheme for greatness. Driven by the will to set out top executive, Macbeth commits the get rid of of the current King Duncan and continuously murders those that leery him. He is led to his declare destruction as Macduff, a Scottish noble, later crop ups him. More over, although both Macbeth and skirt Macbeth can be considered guilty for the downfall of Macbeth or the tragedy of the frivol, Macbeth is more to blame as a result of his ruthlessness, his ambitious desires, and his naive timbre, which allow him to vagabond his own moral sense.Macbeth’s ambitious character and his insatiate zest for power drives him to diverseness his nature towards detestation commencing his tragic downfall. Upon hearing the prophecies of the witches, Macbeth immediately ponders about the predictions and creates an thinker to murder the King. Macbeth states that the image of Duncan, the current King’s death â€Å"doth unfix my hair” (I. ii. 148) meaning that this image was withal horrid to level imagine. Early in the play, the witches moreover predicted that he would construct King entirely it was Macbeth’s ambitious character that takes it to the next step as he now thrives on the will to become King.Although the King’s death was never mentioned in the prophecies, Macbeth plants the idea in his head that the only focussing for him to become King, as the predictions stated was to kill Duncan, which creates and displays his lust for power. Macbeth also mentions, â€Å"let non light throw my black and deep desires” (I. iv. 58). This is another example in which he now admits this dark character at heart him, demonstrating that his valiant, brave character displayed in the beginning of the play is slowly fading away or deteriorating as his ambitious character takes over.Furthermore, by virtue of his set character, Macbeth admits to himself of his â€Å"vaulting ambition” as he states, â€Å"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o’er leaps itself. ” (I. vii. 25-27) These lines represent that Macbeth has no other reason to kill Duncan yet for his strong desires of wanting to become King. Macbeth’s character as ambitious appears again as even to the ey es of his wife, is seen clearly as lustful for power. skirt Macbeth states â€Å"art not without ambition” proclaiming of his ambitious character.Macbeth’s ambitions is the root ca usage of his tragic downfall as his lust for power drives him to murder which is the misdeed that places his spiritedness at risk and begins his fall from glory. Macbeth as a man with solid morals and a well-established conscience allows himself to be manipulated by other significant characters of the play such as the witches and dame Macbeth. The witches make ii significant appearances in the play, each in which they use equivocation to confuse and manipulate or travel the characters in the play to lead a action of evil.Their foremost appearance was in front of Banquo and Macbeth in which they praise him as they predict his future as the next King. They know that by calling him â€Å"King hereafter” (i. iii. 53) that it will create desires in his heart and they use these quick phrases or these words situated in paradox to manipulate Macbeth to do something that would get him that title. Macbeth who has a conscience of his own, allows himself to create unwanted desires in his heart knowing well that patience is an evaluate that only the noble obtain.Macbeth, by the end of his first soliloquy, makes the final decision to not murder the King because in his point of view, â€Å"Duncan both born his faculties so meek” (i. vii. 16-17) and it would be injustice to kill a righteous person but later on changes his mind as he allows his conscience to be moved again by his wife, Lady Macbeth who questions his humans to achieve the power that they would get if they kill Duncan. She states â€Å"If you durst do it, then you were a man” (i. vii. 56-57) as she tries to exchange her husband to go along with Duncan’s murder.Foolishly, Macbeth allows her to change his mind when he could have easily refused proving that he had a mind of his own. The witches near the end of the play manipulate Macbeth once more, but this time it was Macbeth who want their help therefore getting himself into more trouble. A wise person would make the right decision not to ask the troublesome witches for help, but in Macbeth’s case, he deals with this situation differently as he is again easily manipulated into developing hubris, which leads to his downfall and his tragic ending.Therefore, although Macbeth had a conscience of his own and had the right to make his own decisions, he allowed himself to be manipulated by others, which eventually leads to his own death. Macbeth makes and errors in sagaciousness following his misdeed of killing Duncan as he commits other major crimes, which all precipitate his downfall. For example, the murder of his friend, Banquo. Acting completely on his worry that Banquo’s sons will become King and himself remaining unrecognized, Macbeth decides to kill both Banquo and his son, Fleance.Macbeth knew that he was under suspicion for Duncan’s murder therefore concludes with these two reasons to kill an fair man and his son. This is proven through Macbeth’s statement made in Act 3. Scene 2. Lines 41-42. Macbeth establishes his fear as he says that he is â€Å"full of scorpions in his mind”. Therefore, this murder was another factor or crime that leads him directly to his downfall. Another crime that Macbeth commits that is inexcusable was when he murdered a mother and a child.To take advantage of the situation, Macbeth kills Macduff’s family, which was a tragic scene as Macduff’s son dies creating pity in the audience’s heart and depicts Macbeth’s character as mad or insane. These murders render his downfall as extreme for all the thoughtful sins Macbeth has committed. Macbeth’s desire for power, his ignorance towards his own conscience, and the further crimes he commits portray him as more to blame over Lady Macbeth for his own downfall and death.Throughout the whole play, although Lady Macbeth may seem as the masculine character and the brain behind the murder of Duncan, she plays a minor(ip) part in Macbeth’s own desires and the further crimes he independently commits that end in his downfall. Lady Macbeth is a significant character but is not more to blame for every tragic hero brings his fate upon himself. Therefore to conclude, Macbeth is more to blame for his own defeat and suffering.\r\n'
