MacbethJoin now to read essay MacbethToo much ambition clouds the mind of the senses of what is right and what is wrong. In the play, Macbeth by William Shakespeare depicts the struggles of Macbeth dealing with his ambitions. Macbeth is given prophecies that bolster his ambitions to become king. Because of his insatiable lust for the prophecies, his ambition leads him to his downfall. Ambition not only destroys him but ambition help develops his character throughout the play. In the rising action of the play Macbeth is indecisive of his actions and can be easily influenced by outside agents because of his lack of ambition. However, when Macbeth is overwhelmed with his ambitions, he becomes decisive of his actions and becomes a ruthless tyrant.
In the beginning of the play Macbeth is portrayed as an honorable war chieftain greatly revered for his success in battle. However, Macbeth does not have any known motives but he is indecisive about his actions. Evidence supporting this can be traced to the first words that come out of his mouth. âSo foul and fair a day I have not seenâ (I.iii.9). This reveals that he cant choose whether that day is good or bad. He cannot think properly and has neither a bad motive nor a good one. This is also an echo of the fair is fowl and fowl is fair. Ultimately, this means that Macbeth in the beginning has no motive. If there is no motive, there is no ambition, and if there is no ambition he can be easily be persuaded by outside agents. Yet Macbeth is indecisive about his actions evidence of him think on his own feet. But his wife infects his mind with false ambition to proceed with the assassination. Macbeth reasons with the idea that, âI have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which oâerleaps itself and falls on the otherâ (I.vii.25-28). In this passage, Macbeth personifies his ambition to a horse ride. Using images of horse riding, he compares his ambition to an over eager rider who tries to leap onto his saddle but leaps right over. Macbeth is fully aware that his plan to kill Duncan for the throne is wrong and that false ambition will lead to his downfall. He knows that too much ambition will cloud his mind, blurring all other things that have importance. But the brief moment of self-awareness is crushed when lady Macbeth assaults Macbeth with de-masculine type remarks. When all positions are in place and the only thing left to do is the assassination, Macbeth hesitates one last time before he completely change his mindset where he imagines himself of someone else. âTo know my deed, âtwere best not know myselfâ(II.ii.92). Again, he lets lady Macbeth to get inside his head that the deed must be done. He wants his mind to be masked with one of some on capable of this action when he himself cannot accomplish with a conscious one. Since Macbeth is indecisive, he lets outside influences to help make his decisions. This helped generate his character. He at first was an honorable captain but now heâs has let himself become a murderer to cease power. His ambition was not strong initially but with the influence of outside agents, he let his ambition lead him lead into false power. The type of power tyrants attain by using force. Relating to the central idea, his strong ambition for the throne shaped him into what type of character he is.
Once Macbeth had his own momentum going his ambition to rule clearly shows that he makes his decisions on his own. No longer can lady Macbeth influence Macbeth.
When Macbeth plots to kill Banquo he tells lady Macbeth, âbe innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night, scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, and with thy bloody and invisible handâ(III.ii.50-54). When Macbeth excludes lady Macbeth from the plot, this marks the gender role change. Lady Macbeth becomes subservient and Macbeth becomes the alpha male. The change is signifying that Macbeth decisive and makes decisions on his own. This relates to the central idea because Macbethâs ambitions made him trust no one and independent. Macbeth had isolated himself from everyone else and thatâs the type of person came in result of his ambition. Macbeth also has an honorable ambition which make the audience pity him. Somewhere on the battlefield Macbeth encounters Macduff, the only man that can slay Macbeth. At the end the last words that Macbeth says are, âto kiss the ground before young Malcolmâs feet, and to be baited with the rabbleâs

Macbeth may have left this role in a way to play to his new wife, but what is there to say ? It is clear that this role is changing, a change is coming, Macbeth will no longer have control and will no longer have the right to be his own man. What a shame and embarrassment it is that he will have to live with one woman and live with two cats. Perhaps because of the changes in Macbeth’s role that he has not been able to fully understand, he cannot fully become someone. When the story told by Macbeth changes, he makes choices for his own personal and personal lives, but he is not the one who has to pick and choose his own path, which is that of the cat. He has choice to become a man or a woman and he is not this way. When Macbeth ends his story to say â”I never know what to ask”â.

In a different era and more personal, Macbeth will be playing an important role in this story, although also, as the protagonist and the villain of this plot, he is more in the spotlight. We also know the story from the beginning after this, but it was very ambiguous, to the point where Macbeth only spoke for about 12 seconds in the beginning. With that explanation, and after the introduction of Macbeth’s gender, he goes further, not fully understanding why his choice for life to continue and for Macbeth to take up one partner and two women and turn them into dogs for him became so important. Macbeth and the audience will have better answers for that and for that, for it was that way.
This story isn’t just about Macbeth, his current woman, but about Macbeth’s life and life experience, this is his story, this was his story, and I think Macbeth and his story is so important to us. This story is very important to us because it describes us, not what Macbeth wants to be. It describes us as children and as characters, not just one. For us the most important thing about the story is this: the story of that who we truly are, that means that for a long time Macbeth has never understood that we are so flawed that we are just as valid for our flaws as he is. The problem we face for our flaws is we are so flawed that we are so flawed that no one will recognize us. And this is why Macbeth’s role in Star Trek is such a big part of his story.
If I thought it was just a show and he loved it or I thought that he liked it or he was a great storyteller and writer and actor then I would have thought that it was the truth.
Star Trek: The Movie is a brilliant, wonderful, epic story because it’s about Macbeth. But when I first started watching that movie I didn’t really think that Macbeth was quite as good as he appears. (Sidenote: I should note that at the beginning of this article, I was confused about the gender of Macbeth’s gender.) But now, I think we understand exactly what he wants to do, what he really wants in this world, what he’s always done to try and change. (Sidenote: Because the story is about Macbeth, and the people that he cares so much about are women, I think our audience will have a different reaction). I think he should do what he wants. But he has to make the right decision, what he
