Without Lady Macbeth, he husband Macbeth wouldn’t have gone through with the murders of his fellow friends and King to get the throne. “Look like th’ innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t” (1.6.76-77) This tells us that Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth to be nice to the King while he’s planning the murder. Lady Macbeth deceives and betrays her own womans nature, she bretrays herself when she sleep walks and confesses the murder, as well as her King. She plants the dagger that he’s killed with, next to him so that it looks like it was a committed crime. She is a very loving wife, who would do anything for her husband.
The truth is that many of these decisions that Macbeth makes or follows is based on what the witches told him. One example of this is when Lady Macbeth convinces him to kill Duncan in order to become king. She specifically says, “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be / What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature / … / That I may pour my spirits in thine ear, / and chastise with the valor of my tongue” (1.5.16-17, 27-28). In this quote Lady Macbeth is thinking about the witches prophecy and how she can make it come true.
The Macbeth we first encounter is an important and valued member of his society and the favorite of his king. His bravery and loyalty are celebrated and, though fierce in battle, we are led to believe that his is a fundamentally good and virtuous nature. By the plays end, however, he has 'supped full of horrors' and is regarded as a 'hell-hound' by his peers. In my opinion, key to this tragic downfall is Macbeth's relationship with his wife, Lady Macbeth, and the influence they exert upon each other. Within this relationship there is rarely true equality - one partner almost always has undue power or influence over the other.
Jack Torrence and Macbeth both start out as normal, lovable characters. They both love their family and want what’s best for them. Macbeth tries to achieve this by becoming king; while Jack becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. They also both suffer from severe paranoia. In Jack’s case he first seems paranoid when Wendy hears him screaming and comes to his aid only to find that he had a nightmare about killing his family.
In scene 1 act 7, Macbeth leaves the table and attempts to talk himself out of killing Duncan. Macbeth gives himself many logical reasons as why not to commit the murder, such as Duncan just gave him a promotion, why kill the man who just promoted you. But then Macbeth states that if he knew he wouldn’t get caught then he would do it. Then, Lady Macbeth enters the scene, and this is where the murder plan materializes. Lady Macbeth challenges him, saying that he is not a man.
Lady Macbeth is convincing Macbeth about her plan to kill Duncan when he sleeps. She is trying to convince him about not failing the mission. She will drug the guards and then Macbeth could just go in and stab Duncan to death. Lady Macbeth is very ambitious and wants to seize the throne. "Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised.
How is Macbeth showing ambition and treachery in Act 3 Scene 1? The murder of Duncan has successfully been completed without the murderer whose hands are dripping with blood being identified. Macbeth fears the very thought of exposure and intends to remain a neutral part in the death of Duncan. However, it is soon comprehended by Macbeth that the reality that has played out in front of him lies truthful to the witches’ prophecies which he was educated of when accompanied by Banquo. This causes Macbeth to question whether Banquo will become aware of his sins in order to grasp the throne and unveil him as a murderer before the nation.
From the moment she makes her first appearance in Macbeth, it is impossible to deny that Lady Macbeth is a force to be reckoned with. She doesn’t question her husband’s plan to kill the King; no, she questions his manliness, fearing he is too soft to actually keep his word: Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. (I, v, 15-18) She fears that Macbeth lacks the monstrous brutality necessary to kill Duncan and fulfill the prophecy of the three witches—which is surprising, considering he hacked his way through a throng of innocents just to chop a man in half and stick his head on a pike—and so she tells Macbeth that she will make the arrangements to
Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! ""All hail, Macbeth that shalt be king hereafter!" (1.3.51-53). Macbeth is sceptical of the witches however, he doesn't take their advice for granted and when he returns to his home and the first profecy comes true, he is certain-or determined-that the second will as well. Once Macbeth tells his wife of the recent events she is convinced that macbeth should attain the position as king and although she fears macbeth is too full of "th' milk of human kindness" (1.5.15) she feels it must be done and is certain she will be able to convince Macbeth to take the steps neccesary.
Macbeth betrays King Duncan because the witches told him he will become king. He also betrays his friend Banquo because the witches gave him predictions that can affect Macbeth. The three weird sisters betray Macbeth because he wants things to go his way. In “Macbeth”, Shakespeare demonstrates that betrayal is lead by unreasonable decisions that cause bad consequences.
