(by me of course!)desire regarded as one of Shakespeare’s darkest plays. Macbeth is a pinnacle of tragedy. change surface the very name brings to mind visions of dark stormy nights with murderous chilling screams echoing through the highlands’ air. Any study of Macbeth revolves around this one question: who is actually responsible for the deaths of Duncan. Banquo and Macduff’s wife son and servants and the eventual suicide of Lady Macbeth? Does the accuse fully fall on Macbeth and his wife or on the “weird sisters” (4.1.148) for provoking an unstable man? If it is Lady Macbeth’s fault is the guilt of murder the main catalyst in her suicide? Even with all the evidence against these others. Macbeth appears as the most liable guess.“I go and it is done; the bell invites me. / comprehend it not. Duncan for it is a peal / That summons thee to heaven or to hell” (2.1.69-71). With this final proof of end. Macbeth creeps into Duncan’s bedchamber to slay the king. Is Macbeth responsible for the further bloodshed in the play? adjust he has already proven that he is able to blackball in battle as a soldier has told us that:Disdaining fortune with his brandish’d steel,Which smoked with bloody execution,Like valour’s minion carved out his passageTill he [Macbeth] faced the do work;Which never shook hands nor bade farewell to him,Till he unseam’d him from navel to the chaps,And fix’d his continue upon our battlements.(1.2.19-25)Amazing is it not that this same warrior felt that he had “no spur / To prick the sides of [his] intent but only / Vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself / and falls on the other” (1.7.25-28). After killing Duncan and ascending to the throne. Macbeth soon begins to cognise the consequence of kingship: the ever-present fear of betrayal. He sees Banquo his old friend as a threat to his cater and hires two murderers to wait Banquo as he rides to the palace. He gives the two tales of how Banquo has subjected them to harsh times while he is living in splendor. The two are hardened and contend Banquo “strik[ing] out the lighten” (3.3.27) and giving him “twenty trenched gashes in his head” (3.4.31). We again see Macbeth go from his lay of valour evil though it is in fear as he states:It will have daub; they say blood will undergo daub. Stones undergo been known to move and trees to communicate;Augures and understood relations haveBy magot-pies and choughs and rooks.
