The story is the rise and fall of a great man.
Really no humor or humanity, except the scene with Porter.
The book has many compelling characters.
Everything that made him a great man in the begininng, ends up turning on him.
- But unlike any other shkaespeare character, this is all his fault.
Murder of Ducan
Ambition; story of morality
Witches tell him he's going to be king; Macbeth doesn't question it, shows that he may of already though about it.
-Consumed with regret after killing him.
Lady Macbeth
Pure evil impulse
-Makes sure Macbeth never stray from being evil
Tells Macbeth to be more manly
-Animus: Masculine
-Anima: Feminity
Still can't blame her for Macbeth's actions
-He always wants to carry out the deed.
Couldn't handle the regret, unravels and commits suicide.
Macbeth
Macbeth is a mass murderer-- What is thier to admire?
- His determination, despite what he is determined to do.
-He knows what's its gonna cost him, but he still does it.
-Tools to keep his inner soul at bay.
Nobody suspects he's murdering him.
-But he's still going crazy
He's always have had the idea of killing the king.
-The witches were just there to give him a push.
He doesn't feel, he doesn't care.
This is very dark play, physically and mentally.
