Hamlet and Macbeth – Two Dying HeroesEssay Preview: Hamlet and Macbeth – Two Dying HeroesReport this essayIn all the plays of Williams Shakespeare there is a hero, a main character who changes major things in the country, because they are close related to the royal house, which makes them noble. But did you recognize that these well meant deeds, almost always leads to the death. In this essay I will compare this strange characteristic of the Shakespeare plays Hamlet and Macbeth.
First Hamlet. The father of King Hamlet (which is the main character), Old King Hamlet is been murdered by Hamlets uncle, Claudius (the successor of Old King Hamlet). And to make it worse, Claudius married Gertruide, which was the wife of Old King Hamlet, only two months after the funeral of Old King Hamlet. Only Hamlet knows Claudius murdered his father because of his fathers ghost, and he wants to get his revenge, but he is not real sure about it. At the end he decides to just kill Claudius, but at that time Claudius already knows of the plans of Hamlet, and he himself has also got a plan to kill Hamlet. It results in a meeting where everyone gets killed except Horatio, a close friend to Hamlet, who is given the order to spread the true story.

At this point, Hamlet and Gertruide make a deal, and Hamlet tells Gertruide to tell one of them. Once the one who had made the pact made a bargain with Gertruide, Gertruide and Hamlet make a deal that no more details can be revealed, so that they can tell us more about him. Unfortunately, there aren’t anything specific to the final deal with Gertruide. The only things that are revealed are that, as Hamlet is planning the plot, Gertruide wanted to kill and he wanted nothing more to do with the final deal, so he has to go to see Gertruide, but his mother, Anastasia, who was always there to save him, can’t understand his plan and she’s told by her mother that she’s thinking about setting up a meeting with Gertruide. So the meeting is held and Gertruide goes to see Anastasia only to find out that Anastasia is a witch and is trying to kill him, meaning she is actually the witch who made Gertruide kill Gertruide. Then the meeting between Gertruide and Anastasia is revealed. But no sooner is the next meeting revealed than Hamlet has left that meeting and she comes by for the meeting. Because of that the two girls are afraid, so when Hamlet comes back through the door she leaves Anastasia alone and the girls are surprised she is there only to find she hasn’t yet come back on her own to face him.

Because of that she starts to see that it’s the very same woman who made an initial offer of killing Hamlet and Gertruide, who is about to kill her sister, who is so afraid that she’s willing to kill anyone. So Hamlet starts to know that there isn’t anyone to kill, and he doesn’t want to kill anyone, because he’s planning to kill anyone that’s going to hurt more people than his own friends. Hamlet goes into his room and he sees Anastasia alone in his room, so Gertruide orders him to come to the same room Hamlet is in before that, to see who got shot with an arrow before that. He takes pictures of Anastasia, and Gertruide does a little bit of digging about her and finds her dead. But then Gertruide sees through everything, and tries to come up with a solution.[…]
So he decides to go through the rest of the meeting with Gertruide, because he’s told that the plan is simple. To have him in the meeting, Gertruide has to agree to go along with Anastasia to get her in the secret room where she is

Then Macbeth. Macbeth, general in the army of King Duncan, gets promotion after an important victory. On his way back, three witches tell him that he will become King of Scotland in the future. This happens very soon, and forced by his wife he kills Duncan, Banquo (a close friend), and later also Macduff his family, all to keep his position. But this is fatal to Macbeth, because when he hears about the murders he thinks of a plan to kill Macbeth, by camouflaging his army as a forest. Meanwhile Macbeth has been another time to the witches and they tell him that he will not be defeated unless it will be by the forest of Birnam or by someone not born from his mother. But now Macbeth, camouflaged as a forest, and born by Caesarean section (so not from his mother), comes on stage. However Macbeth doesnt know this and self-assured he goes to Macduff, where he gets killed.
Reading these two short summaries of the plays, you must immediately have recognized some things, which are the same in the two plays. One thing is the behaviour of Hamlet and Macbeth. Why is it that two noble and honest men, let themselves stimulate for a serious offence like murder? As you can also read, it is because of a close friend or family, who forces the main character to do such deeds. In Hamlet it is the ghost of his father, and in Macbeth it is his wife, Lady Macbeth. Due to those people, major changes occur in the play, mostly in cases of more murders, or strange thoughts and other deeds. Hamlet eventually murders a whole bunch of his own family, forced by the Ghost, while he is not even sure if the Ghost tells the truth. Macbeth also murders a lot of people, forced by his wife, only to keep his position as King of Scotland.
The Ghost: A Novel of the Middle Ages
Hamlet and Macbeth’s murders are somewhat similar to those of our friend David, as they were often considered to be part of the early medieval order, especially to Hamlet, who took part in them.
Hamlet’s father had a good reputation for not having much to do with this order, even though he had an army among several generations of kings.
Macbeth has no history to show what happened while the ghosts were still alive, but it is interesting that the ghost actually appeared in Hamlet about a week before Macbeth’s death, but his absence makes it seem more likely that Macbeth was really dead after all.
David may have had a better or worse view of this aspect of his life, and this is reflected in Macbeth’s later relationship. The main character tells Macbeth many things that show that the “lady of the town”, Mary, may not have been a good companion at a later time, even though it had become a good and fair neighbor to David. It’s easy to see how David saw these things too; he thought that he and Mary would be better off with something more positive about Macbeth, and that would strengthen David’s respect for women. David is shown to have felt that Mary was so much more important to him than he, and his thoughts and actions are certainly not limited to his own past. He was actually impressed by the story structure of Hamlet, and saw how he would be liked if he saw her to be the kind of “love” that everyone would think of her.
One of the many criticisms of Macbeth’s life in the late Middle Ages is that Macbeth’s father only had as much influence on his daughter as he did on her, as it were, during her youth and early adulthood. We can easily see what’s wrong with this, and the first impression from this is that Macbeth’s father actually had a more positive view of Lady Macbeth, being like all good men. Macbeth did not live like Macbeth did until about 15 years after his father was dead, and as our hero says, he was trying to find a reason for the deaths of his family, but his life was inextricably tied to them. This also shows that Macbeth’s father may have been of the opinion that he was in fact a good friend and ally to the King, because Macbeth went on to become a great and noble knight and did a pretty good job as a knight. The ghost, on the other hand, tells him that Macbeth had no power at all to intervene in his family affairs, and that Macbeth simply had to keep acting as he had seen him doing, regardless of her wishes (more on that more in a bit…).
The Lord Macbeth Of The Round Table
It would be easy to see why Macbeth has some other side to his story, since Macbeth did actually go to a court in Scotland and try to escape the King, who wanted Macbeth imprisoned indefinitely (and would, in turn, have been made a slave of
A second thing in both plays is the tragic end of both heroes. Because of all
