Macbeth is being discussed as being brave and loyal for showing such immense amount of violence on the battlefield; indeed, his ability to 'carve' his way through humans is described as being a display of valour. The more brutal the act that more courage Macbeth must have shown, it can be argued that it was Macbeth's brutal act of "...unseamed him from the nave to th' chops, and fixed his head upon our battlements" that gained him the title of Thane of Cawdor. ]]> 2016-10-28 02:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ha21/njg9j9lwfgd1/wish/133802532 ha21 https://padlet.com/ha21/njg9j9lwfgd1/wish/133802608 Violence causes more violence

Macbeth drives himself mad, when he sees a floating dagger pointing towards King Duncan's room. Macbeth finally finds the courage to kill King Duncan. "I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise?", this quote symbolises that Macbeth has killed King Duncan but is worried if he will be caught. Lady Macbeth finds Macbeth holding the daggers and immediately moves into action, by using her quick thinking she plants the daggers of the servants and drugs them, whilst Macbeth is cleansing his hands of the blood. After Lady Macbeth commits the deed, her and Macbeth go back to bed and rest for, they believe tomorrow to be a grand day, because Macbeth shall be king and he a queen.

Macduff posses a greatest to Macbeth's throne Macbeth makes the use of the quote "The castle of Macduff I will surprise, / Seize upon Fife, give to th' edge o' th' sword / His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls / That trace him in his line. Macbeth goes to Maduff''s house to kill him but he finds that he had fled so Macbeth kills his family to tell him that he is not afraid of him and and he is challenging him to war.]]> 2016-10-30 21:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ha21/njg9j9lwfgd1/wish/134109791 https://padlet.com/ha21/njg9j9lwfgd1/wish/134349985 In the play Macbeth there is a lot of violence, this is portrayed in many scenes. One scene were there is violence is when Macbeth is brutally beheaded by Macduff in the battlefield. Macbeth was not afraid during the battle as the prophecies set by the witches seemed very hard to fulfil. The prophecies stated that he would not be killed by a man would born by women.  Also the prophecies said that he couldn't be killed until the forest moves and he is told that he needs to beware of Macduff.  Macbeth. "Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother’s womb Untimely ripped."  This shows that Macbeth has been beaten by Macduff as he realises he will be beaten as both prophecies have been fulfilled.  In the play the violence snowballs turning into a never ending vicious cycle, it started with the killing of Duncan and ended up with Macbeth being behead by Macduff in the war zone. ]]> 2016-10-31 20:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ha21/njg9j9lwfgd1/wish/134349985
