Act 1 Macbeth Questions

1. Well, although macbeth has much power, I feel that his wife very much uses him for that. That's why she influenced him to kill King Duncan. So i would say that she is very much seductive and controlling. She only really uses Macbeth to get power.

"From now on, I know what your love is worth. Are ou afraid to matvh your acts with your ambitions? Can you want the glittering crown yet be a self confessed coward: "I'd like to, but i daren't." pg. 57

"What monster was it then that made you share this scheme with me? When you dared to do it, then you were a man." pg. 57

2. He decides to murder Duncan because his wife pretty much makes him feel that the only way to be successful is to kill him. So his wife, again. tricks him into doing what she wants. At first he didn't want to kill him, but after hearing what his wife has to say, he is forced to change his mind.

"We fail? Just screw up your courage to the uttermost, and we wont fail" pg. 59

"When you dared to do it, then you were a man." pg. 57

3. I would say that he is a man very anxious about his future prophecies. But i can tell that he always wants what he wants as soon possible. But i can tell that he knows what is good and not. The reason is because he has a very good conscience and he always questions whether or not what he is doing is good or not.

"Stop. You've told me half the story. tell me more. I know IM thane of Glamis, since, my father, died. But how can I be the thane of cawdor?" pg. 33

"[Brooding] Your children should be kings......"
"You shall be king"
" And Thane of Cawdor too. Thats what they said?" pg. 35

4. Honestly, I think he will. The reason is because in those days, framing is very much easy to get away with. But I know that something bad will happen because he got away with it. I feel that because the prophecies stated that he'll gain power in time and he didnt fulfill it properly, karma will come to hurt him.

"Who would dare to take it otherwise since we shall grieve and lament his death so loudly?" pg. 59

"Im settled on it then. All my faculties shall be devoted to this terrible deed. Let go pass the time as perfect hosts. We must conceal our false hearts behind false faces." pg. 61

5. I honestly think that he shouldn't kill Duncan. The reason is becaue the prophecy already states that he will eventually be king. So really, all he has to do is be patient. Also, he should get rid of his wife because all she does is use him.
