The play Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, is probably one of the most enjoyable plays I have ever read. Shakespeare uses fantastic language to help you envision the play in your mind. Although the play is easy to read and picture in your mind, things are not always what they appear to be. In this play there are various situations that play out much differently than they are said to.
In the beginning of the play Macbeth encounters three witches. He talks with the witches and they claim to have a great prophecy for him. The witches tell Macbeth that he will one day become king and all great things will happen. What Macbeth doesn’t know is that one day his wife will pressure him to murder King Duncan and that is how he inherits the throne.
After hearing the witches prophecy, Macbeth goes home and tells his wife about it. Lady Macbeth likes what her husband tells her and she schemes up a plan to assassinate King Duncan in order for Macbeth to take the throne. Her plan was to poison King Duncan’s guards and then sneak into his room and kill him with two daggers. Macbeth forgot to place the two daggers next to the guards after hi killed the king so his wife returned and planted the two daggers on the dead guards. Her intention was to stage the crime to look like the guards killed King Duncan and Macbeth and his wife would get off clean.
Later on in the play the witches return to Macbeth with another prophecy. They tell Macbeth to fear Macduff the thane of fife, but they also tell him that he cannot be killed by any man born to a woman. After a series of events, Macduff and Malcom lead and army into
The play Macbeth happens a lot differently than the characters make it seem. This play is filled with much trickery and deceit. Many of the characters in this play have two-faced personalities and bad intentions. Although Macbeth contains all this negativity it makes it a very interesting read.
