As well as murder, Macbeth is also guilty of lying, deception, cowardice, seeking out further contact with evil forces, behaving brutally with both physical and verbal violence and showing a lack of love and concern for others.
The activities of the Witches - The Witches' appearance at the start of the play in the middle of a thunderstorm (apparently of their own creation) sets the tone for what is to follow. As well as predicting the future, controlling the weather and casting evil spells, they also discuss the wicked acts they carry out against ordinary men and women. In a couple of scenes they interact with Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft.
The disruption of nature - The opening of the play takes place in the middle of a thunderstorm. A further storm rages on the night of Duncan's murder and many highly unnatural occurrences are reported in Act 2 Scene 4. In the final scenes of the play, it seems that the trees have come to life as Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane and Macbeth is defeated by Macduff who was not naturally born.]]> 2023-02-10 12:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/9bishopjaydon/hq5hu4331f37bon6/wish/2476336427 9bishopjaydon https://padlet.com/9bishopjaydon/hq5hu4331f37bon6/wish/2476353163 2023-02-10 12:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/9bishopjaydon/hq5hu4331f37bon6/wish/2476353163
