- “Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep” (2, 2, 47) These are words speaking
- of an evil person. As much of the play Macbeth is about. The play starts with evil, the
- three witches burrying different wierd objects. As well as throughout the majority of the
- play, evil is the basis of all within this story.
- The blood in this story is evil. And I don’t mean the blood which pours from a
- dying king. I mean blood in the sense of gore, and violence. The whole play it self is full
- of fights. The plot goes from a fight to a scence that plans a fight, to a fight, to a scene
- with more planning or reflection. It’s a viscious cycle in this play. It’s all violence. I
- suppose that would be ok if your making an action movie staring Arnold Schwarzeneger,
- but this is supposed to be a classic, a tragedy, the only tragedy was that it sucked. A
- playwrite such as Shakespeare wouldn’t have wrote a play of just violence. He actually
- has good content in his plays. Although there is a bit of good content in this play.
- There’s just no transition of it within the play. It hardly makes any sense. All of this
- further makes me believe that there are scenes missing.
- The witches are pure evil as well. they are the ones who filled Macbeth’s head
- with all these visions of power. Which in turn transformed Macbeth into a psychotic
- killing machine. Before he met the witches, he was an innocent warrior, an honorable
- fighter of the king. But once the witches filled him with greed, he no longer was a loyalist
- of the king. He in a short period of time pulled a hundred and eighty degree turn and did
- the furthest thing from loyal he possibly could of done to the king, he killed him in his
- sleep. And if that isn’t evil enough, he blamed it on two loyal, innocent gaurds, and
- slaughtered them on the spot.
- Lady Macbeth is as well pure evil. She is the persuassion behind Macbeth. He
- would never of murdered Duncan if Lady Macbeth hadn’t persuaded him to. Macbeth
- was too full o’ the milk of human kindness. Perhaps Macbeth would have received the
- throne loyaly and honorably to begin with. Many times Macbeth had tried to back down
- from killing Duncan, but Lady Macbeth wouldn’t of let that happen. She made fun of him,
- called him down. She did what was necessary to keep him from chickening out. Perhaps
- Macbeth did whatever she told him to because of sex. Lady Macbeth certainly is made
- out to be a very sexy woman in the play. She may have used her powers of sex to
- persuade her husband to perform the irreversible deeds. The murder of Duncan caused a
- chain effect on Macbeth, making it necessary (in Macbeth’s eyes) to kill Banquo,
- Macduff’s wife and children, and all the other innocent casualties.
- Although there are many evil objects in this play, the most evil of them all is greed.
- No matter who was more influenced by this power, Lady Macbeth to become queen or
- Macbeth to become king, it caused this whole predicament. If Macbeth didn’t care at all
- about becoming the king, he probably wouldn’t have murdered Duncan to become king,
- and to later have his life fall apart.
- Throughout the play Macbeth, there were many very evil people, places, and
- things. The evil in in the play was a domino effect. Starting with the withches, and ending
- with Macduff taking Macbeth’s head. The evil, be it the witches, his wife, or greed, ended
- it with a blood bath of revenge.
