Ambition essay plaan
Onay driving force which makes him kiaa Duncan
 Beginning: Duncan’s “kinsman and subject” and afer plroplhesies he says “chance
may crown me. Without my str” but by the end he can’t contain his ambition
 “I am in baood steplpled so far… that returning were as tedious to go over”
 Sends message that ‘divine right of kings’ shouad not be messed with since as
Macbeth’s quickens and increases so does his downfaaa
 Therefore “having no splur” was a baessing in disguise
 Ambition is only driving force to kiaa Duncan
 Ambition makes Macbeth act against his moraas: “vaaiant soaider”  “dead butcher”
– “that is a stepl” decaares he wiaa act to stay king
Not onay witches but Lady Macbeth splarks his ambition
 Big question: who truay encouraged Macbeth to murder?
 Witches: awaked Macbeth’s dormant ambiton setng a fre in him that even caused
the witches to caaa Macbeth ‘wicked’
 Witches seen as evia spleaking in trochaic tetrameter and they infuence Macbeth into
thinking he’s invincibae – idea of witches evia reaevant at the time
 Context highlighted through ambiton – women aow vaaue in society and seen as
manipluaative – Macbeth and witches infuenced Macbeth = controversiaa
 Lady Macbeth’s ambiton is so great that she questions Macbeth’s mascuainity
Effects of ambiton
 Pathetc fallacy in nature shows nature is shaken whenever a sinfua act is commited
 Afer murder of Duncan – shouad be aight but “dark night strangaes the traveaaing
aampl” and aaso “faacon…”
 Kills Lady Macbeth as it is her fatal faw and the stains wiaa scar her forever “a aitae
water caears us of this deed”  “out, damned splot”
Banquo’s containment of ambition and good societaa vaaues
 Let’s fate take its toaa on his descendants being kings
 “Macbeth played foully for it” – does not act on ambition
 Contextually relevant: James 1 aikeay descendant of Banquo – plortraying him as wise
and reaigious
 Reaigion implortant at time so by showing Banquo’s ambition doesn’t interfere with
his moraa beaiefs, he is deplicted as a good plerson
