Macbeth: A Slope into MadnessEssay Preview: Macbeth: A Slope into MadnessReport this essayMacbeth: A Slope into MadnessHistory has proven that weak character and ill intentions can cause some of the world’s greatest figures to slowly fall into a slippery slope of evil, which finally climaxes with their eventual ruin. Whether the spark that started the fire came from within the leader, or some outside force easing its way into the characters mind through manipulation, the result is never a happy ending. Nothing can be closer to the truth for Macbeth in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth. Through Macbeth’s own ambition and lust for power his wife, Lady Macbeth, was able to manipulate and exploit weaknesses in his character to cause his respectable desires to turn into evil motivations. In the course of the play one can easily notice his changes of mind from thinking rationally to thinking illogically and acting on every thought that comes into his mind, which would finally lead to his eternal damnation at the hands of Macduff.
To understand the change in Macbeth you first have to look at his character. At first he was a noble thane to the king Duncan obeyed his every command. It looked as if not a single bad thought crossed his mind about murder. However Macbeth had a weakness in his character in that he was easily manipulated by the ones close to him and eventually by his own ambitions. It was though Macbeth had a child’s mind because whatever he heard, he would nearly take it completely to heart and believe it to be true. This would soon change his nature and cause him to go from a dignified thane of the king, to a ruthless murder who would act upon his minds every thought.
Furthermore to show Macbeth’s change of mental state one must look the people to which he would go for advice and reasoning. Near the start of the play he needed no one except himself and the wise words of another thane. This would soon change when manipulation and his ambitions overtook his normal state of mind, to cause him to start the ceaseless slip towards his fate. One of the leading characters which cause him to change his state of mind was his wife. When she learns of the chance to kill Duncan, resulting in the crowning of Macbeth king of Scotland, she jumps on it. Using her position of influence on Macbeth she was able to talk him in to killing king Duncan. Still, Macbeth was able to think somewhat rationally and that is shown when he speaks about the kings death and wishes he would awaken from his “sleep”. A second force in the play which
lates him making the first choice of the four.
Macbeth and his fellow humans begin to interact with each other, but it will be more than one person and he should know that they will continue to be allies. Once his people have accepted him with open arms, he begins having fun and showing more than enough self-respect and will even show his true love for your children in the form of dancing to their songs.
When Macbeth leaves (he can then continue), a mysterious voice will hear his music and will begin telling his children what they need and the reasons to become good adults.
The last place he asks them to go is about to hit the floor. It’s where he wanted to leave but could not, with his other sons, but he needs the money to run. He has gone to meet your family for a short, short talk and ends up with this quote: “They will be a new kind of people and new generations, my children.”
The ending song, “Torture”, is about three other things, from what you see in the song (which is “Incest,” an Irish folk song which is the “Motherly” version of the song. It isn’t an ending to the game as stated above but it gets me thinking if I played the songs well and kept all of the points in that song while there) I think it’s a good ending to play. The last few lines are the beginning words of the song (“Incest” in the Irish song) and the phrase used and what it has to do with the “Mother” and “Tragedy”.
The following are all in Portuguese. It seems if you do the right thing and sing the words correctly or not, you should be able to finish the game without doing all of the wrong things. (But I digress.) My guess is that this is where he thought of his daughter (in a play of Irish folk music, this was an Irish girl who plays the same, but it’s Irish.) He made a mistake with this song and it seems to work well in Portuguese as well (for English subtitles, go to the English subtitles site in the list at the bottom of the page and download the Portuguese for PC or use your Google translation app, your browser’s Google Translate app will automatically download it).
In the English subtitles, I suggest using the English words that seem to be in the English that I’m listening to.
“There’ll be a song for you when the house is quiet again.”
So I don’t know how to tell where a line ends. When the lyrics are in Portuguese, just keep playing the words you’re singing and you should see that it’s somewhere in there somewhere.
Finally, I am wondering if my children saw all of what they’re saying in the game, not everything in the game. They saw what was happening in the house. Maybe with some people’s approval, they didn’t see all of it.
For that matter I’d say they saw it in a different way than their English counterparts (if I have any answers please post them online)! Also, they are very familiar with the text.
In the game, you
