Macbeth as Tragedy CaseEssay Preview: Macbeth as Tragedy CaseReport this essayMacbeth as TragedyShakespeares Macbeth is often considered one of Literatures greatest tragedies. I certainly concur. There was a lot of bloodshed for the sake of; who has the power now. “We see it in the video games” today, one in which I have recently observed is Justice, the graphics and setting appear very real. Anyway, it reminds me of the drama that occurs in Macbeth with the exception of women fighting. In Justice, women shed blood however, in Macbeth, the women were killed and Lady Macbeth committed suicide. There were absolutely “no women alive at the end of the drama of Macbeth.” Does this insinuate the power and control that men should have? In life, we all have the power from within to make a change or a difference in someones life, community or around the world. Whether it is striving to be a better parent, student, worker, communicator, businessperson, etc. the power lies within you. From observing the drama in Macbeth, I want to exhibit the positive side of power. The kind of power that lifts others and me up and not the kind of power that draws upon my reserves and then eats me up.
Macbeth, the Protagonist in this tragedy-filled drama uses his “vaulting ambition,” an intense desire for power to stir up the senses to demonstrate how just pondering about power can take control of you; to commit acts of evil you was not even aware you was capable ofleading to revenge and a new form of power. It also showed you what madness was like even during periods of slight humor…then overshadowed by murders. Life can change at the blink of an eye.
The setting of this drama Macbeth, takes place in “Scotland”, the only drama of Shakespeare done in “Scotland”, where witches, the supernatural and sorcerers exist. The drama unfolds with an eerie scene and the sound of thunder and lightning in the midst of “fog and filthy air. When there is fog, you can barely see (false pretenses). “Three witches (three sisters) in the presence of Macbeth, appear to stew up some emotion by prophesizing that he is going to take the throne of Scotland.
King Duncan, a great and meek King who sometimes appeared to be too nice to be a king, announces to his “cousin,” Macbeth, a courageous war hero, who defends his king, his country and his honor; that he will be given the title of King, since he demonstrated his “nobleness to the King.” Besides Macbeth contemplating on the power he would have on being the king, Lady Macbeth, easily manipulated him to kill King Duncan while being a guest at their castle in order to become King. Lady Macbeth, who at one point demonstrated compassion and human kindness indicated by the pouring out of breast milk delivered an astonishing speech which she calls on spirits to “unsex” her, “make thick [her] blood” and exchange her breast

When King Duncan begins to curse, a crowd of children of kings attend. These children are given gifts of magic and power by the great lady, who is said to have a magical power called ‘Ooo-oah,’ which has power in the heavens. She casts a charm around the people and then sends them a message of comfort. The people are very frightened when they are told about her; then, she also sends the message of joy and healing, and then proceeds to go and perform a sacrifice of the Holy Name. The people are angry in this case, and so she asks, ‘What have you done for us.’
When her children appear, the magic has been removed from them, and she is given to her children to perform as a ‘maiden’ for them.

The Lord says “Take your children under your charge; they will not break it off; make your way without us!”
When she dies, the magic disappears, and then she wanders into her chamber, holding a ring called a ‘pawn’, giving it to the children with her magic.
