Macbeth Presentation
By Mia Parco
Period 3
In the play The Tragedy of Macbeth written by William
Shakespeare, The continuous
theme of “fair is foul” is woven throughout the story, delivering the point that with everything good that comes,
something bad arrives as well.
Theme
Thou Shall Get Kings
•Macbeth and Banquo run into the 3 witches who
give the men prophecies. Macbeth was to be the
Thane of Cawdor as well as the King. Banquo will
not become a king like Macbeth will.
However, He is be blessed with
descendants who will be
Kings.
“Thou shalt get kings, though thou shall be none” (1-3-3-68)
So even though Banquo is not fortunate enough to be granted such a glorious future for himself as Macbeth is, his
endless line of descendants are destined for such.
Thane of
CAWDOR
•As war rages on, swords
clash and blood is shed. The blood of one particular man is shed.
That man was the Thane of Cawdor.
•The Thane is
killed by none other than Macbeth, thus Macbeth earns the honorable title as Thane of Cawdor,
Just as the 3 witches prophesized...
“No more that Thane of Cawdor shall deceive our bosom interest: Go pronounce his present death, and with his former title greet Macbeth” (1-2-3-63-65)
UNSEX ME HERE!
Lady Macbeth was
never the traditional female role. She is neither helpless nor weak.
In fact, She is more
dominant Than Macbeth.
She may “Look like th' innocent flower,But [She is]the serpent under ’t” (1-5-3-56-57)
So in reality, Lady Macbeth looks beautiful
on the outside, but is evil deep within.
“…I would while, [the baby] was smiling in
my face, have plucked the nipple
from his boneless gums and bashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this” 1-7-2-56-59
The three Characters mentioned all have done, or been blessed with, something
bad or
good.
In a bittersweet exchange to that something, they are
given its opposite. Be it direct or indirect, these exchanges cause the
characters’ downfall in the end.
