This is displayed when Macbeth is lured by the witches as they prophesize he will be the King. He demonstrates it once again when entice by his wife as she persuades him to kill King Duncan. Macbeth knows that even listening to these ideas are dangerous so threatening he compares it to eating from "the insane root, that takes reason prisoner" (I.iii.84-84.) This show that when Macbeth thinks logically he understands the repercussions of his actions. He is only unmindful of his actions when the posability of increasing power is involved.
It is here where Hero ties to the theme. The theme of “Much Ado about Nothing” is that losing your honor is worth dying or killing over. Hero even goes to say “Prove you that any man with me conversed At hours unmeet, or that I yesternight Maintained the change of words with any creature, Refuse me, hate me, torture me to death!” (IV i 191-194) Hero would rather die or be killed than to live having people think that she is no longer a virgin. Her virginity to her was a sign of her honor as a maid. Hero’s own father says “Death is the fairest cover for her shame” (IV i 122).
But, she is afraid of his personality ‘too full o’th milk of human kindness’ and decides to take matters into her own hands. This is also the scene where we hear her first famous soliloquy which is ‘unsex me here’ when she calls on the evil spirits. Really, she wants to be the same as the three witches, but because of who she is, she has to repress all her inner feelings and her conscience in order to carry on with her plan to murder Duncan. She has to be two-faced. When Macbeth returns later in the scene, she immediately pounces onto him and tries to persuade him to murder the King and she says it in a very manipulative way.
Yes sir!” External: Scout agrees with the compromise her father, Atticus and her agreed to. Level C Behavior: Scout is Level C because she follows through with the agreement her and Atticus had made about her staying in school. 6 Pg:”He declined to let us take our air rifles to the Landing (I had already begun to think of shooting Francis) and said if we made one false move he'd take them away from us for good. External: Scout continues to dislike Francis but she remembers what would happen if she attempted to do something. Level B Behavior: Scout is Level B because she wants to hurt Francis badly but then she thinks on what her father, Atticus had told her.
She promised Francis before their trip not to sleep with other men. However, when Macomber embarrasses Margaret by running away from the lion, she decides to spend the night with Wilson. She is a cruel woman, and possibly a murderer, the scene where she shots the buffalo is ambiguous, and gives us space to question if she was shooting at the buffalo or her husband. Margaret is an opportunist. Robert- Wilson is Hemingway's masculine ideal character.
This forebodes the death of Macbeth and also Lady Macbeth by suggesting that they will not be able to kill the King and live a normal, guilt free life afterwards. Lady Macbeth then creates irony as she mocks Macbeth for thinking this way, she refers to him as a ‘coward’ and insists that this murder is necessary. This part of the play is extremely significant as we realise just how harsh Lady Macbeth is and how far she would really go. She removes any maternal characteristics that she may have had by explaining that her lack of pity would extend so far, that she would murder a baby. “Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains out”.
The betrayal of Polynieces causes his sister, Antigone, to start another long line of betrayal throughout the rest of the play. Antigone begins planning her betrayal against Creon and her justice against her brother when she goes to her sister, Ismene, for help. “You must decide whether you will help me or not.” (Line 30, Pg 774). Ismene is a coward and claims she cannot help Antigone, “But I have no strength to break laws that were made for the public good.” (Line 66, Pg 774). The fact that Antigone is now alone is this process does not slow her down at all; not even after Ismene warns her that the consequence of her actions could be death.
Also that she is his instigation in his plot to kill the king, although there is some theory that he already suggested the murder in the letter but it was never shown in the play. She defiantly has the drive for her husband to become king as she say’s “unsex me here” he shows she wants all compassion in her to be removed so she can kill without remorse or guilt. She is shown as possibly a witch and maybe even an embodiment an evil spirit but most likely she is a miss directed soul. This shows her to be the centre of Macbeths life and strangely for the time to be his equal women were thought of in those as lesser beings this could also show Macbeth as a modern man a man who fells women are equal despite their sex. This links in with Macbeth leaving his wife out of the murdering to save her and her eventual suicide.
It is true that Lady Macbeth originally came up with the plan to kill the king, but it is also true that Macbeth was selfish and greedy. If he had been patient he would have learned that he had already been promoted to Dane. His wife did encourage him to commit murder, but she did not force him to choose his path. The three witches could also be considered responsible
If they had been the doctors, he would have used them for slaves without even thinking twice about it. With Linda’s thinking, if they were Mr. Sands, she believed they would have a chance to be free due to Dr. Flint’s disgust. Though this was not the case, it was a choice she had to make. In addition, Linda had to take into consideration the fact that Mrs. Flint already disliked her so she would be likely to kill her if she fathered Dr. Flint’s
