MACBETH REVISION
The witches manipulate him by playing with his ambitions
Metaphor is used to show lady Macbeths fear that Macbeth
is honorable to achieve his ambitions ‘I fear thy nature/ it is
too full o’th milk of human kindness’
The king makes his thane of Cawdor and uses the adjective
‘noble’ to show Macbeth is honorable, ‘what he hath lost,
noble Macbeth hath won’
During Act 1, he battles his feelings of right and wrong.
Shakespeare shows this through Macbeths soliloquies and his
dialogue with lady Macbeth.
Macbeth knows regicide will damn him to hell but lady
Macbeth convinces to go ahead. She manipulates and
dominates him. Macbeths greatest weakness is his wife
Macbeth becomes more corrupted by power and his wish to
secure his position.
Macbeth seems to give up in goodness and decides his life ‘in
blood/ stepp’d in so far’ that he may continue with his
tyranny
At the banquet, Macbeth appears to be losing his sanity.
