Then, as the play progresses and he commits the crimes, he becomes more and more comfortable with it and loses his morality in the process. The Macbeth we see at the start of the play is most likely his true identity. ]]> 2023-01-23 12:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453165355 25sportnoy https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453165794 Macbeth was not able to maintain an identity that was true to himself because he easily let Lady Macbeth convince him into killing the king. At first he did not want to kill the king, towards the end Lady Macbeth pressured him into doing it. ]]> 2023-01-23 12:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453165794 25csimpson2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167282 Macbeth is not able to maintain a true authentic identity for himself. By the end of the play Macbeth completely loses his identity. He used to pride himself on being a strong fighter, a soldier for his king, and his country. At the end of the play, Macbeth is inevitably killed by Macduff, has murdered his king, and has brought the country to ruin. He has lost his morals, everyone he had cared about, and everyone's respect. Macbeth does not have the same identity by the end of the play.]]> 2023-01-23 12:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167282 25hmoore https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167565 No, he isn't able to retain his sense of self. At the start, Macbeth isn't a terrible person, just a soldier doing his duty. Throughout the book, he is corrupted by his thirst for the crown, leading him to do things that he wouldn't do normally, such as killing Duncan, Banquo, and then Macduff's family. His identity is eroded into a bloodthirsty king, with Lady Macbeth helping to feed into his loss of morality. His personality at the start was probably the closest to the real Macbeth, unlike what we saw throughout the rest of the book. ]]> 2023-01-23 12:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167565 25charris2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167942 No, Macbeth is not able to keep an identity that is true to himself because Lady Macbeth constantly torments Macbeth to kill Duncan, which causes him to spiral. As the play continues he because less like the man he was at the beginning.]]> 2023-01-23 12:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453167942 25sportnoy https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453168483 Macbeth is inherently good but turned evil. Macbeth did not want to kill the king in the beginning because he felt the need to protect him from harm. Later he is pressured into killing him because of Lady Macbeth not because he wanted to.]]> 2023-01-23 12:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453168483 25asharpe https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453170447 Macbeth is inherently good. He showed his loyalty to his king by fighting a battle for his sake. Macbeth also was very hesitant in killing Duncan because he understood how kind Duncan had been. As far as the reader can tell it was only until he received the prophecy that he began to think about killing the king, and even then he was fairly certain he would do nothing about his ambition. It was further convincing from his wife that finally made Macbeth crack from the pressure being put on him to kill Duncan. This turned him to a path of evil.]]> 2023-01-23 12:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453170447 25csimpson2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453171243 I would consider Macbeth to be inherently good. He had been a seemingly good person, up until the witches told him the prophecy. When the witches spoke to him, he only played with the thought of killing Duncan, but he did not think he would act on it. When his wife enforced the notion that Macbeth should kill Duncan, he still didn't think he would act on the thoughts. By the end of first act Macbeth has a soliloquy listing every reason he has to not kill Duncan. He only chooses to go through with it from his wifes pressure and the power of suggestion from the witches.]]> 2023-01-23 12:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453171243 25charris2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453171713 I think Macbeth is governed by fate. The witches tell Macbeth and Banquo what will happen and from there on Macbeth tries to speed up his prophecy. After Macbeth kills Duncan he doesn't intend for Banquo's children to take the throne however it happens regardless because Macbeth is governed by fate. ]]> 2023-01-23 12:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453171713 25eking https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453173963 I would consider him somewhere in between good and evil. I think that Macbeth is misguided. It is obvious in the beginning that he has good morals and wants to do the right things, but he turns more evil and cold-blooded because he begins to kill for power, even if they had nothing to do with it.]]> 2023-01-23 12:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453173963 25tle1 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453174302 Macbeth throughout the text wasn't able to maintain an identity that remained true to himself. Towards the story's beginning, Macbeth was loyal to his country and king. He fought valiantly and was set on doing the right thing. But, later on, Macbeth was easily persuaded to kill Duncan by Lady Macbeth. She belittled him by calling him not a man or less than a man and that encouraged Macbeth to kill Duncan. Macbeth needed to prove to her that he was a man.]]> 2023-01-23 12:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453174302 25csimpson2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453176502 I feel that Macbeth is guided by fate. It seems that everything that happened in the play was indeed fate. No matter how hard Macbeth tried to change that fact, he still couldn't change anything. Even with his logic, he could not prevent his killing Duncan,  he could not prevent his dissent into madness, he could not prevent Birnham Wood from coming to Dunsinanne, and he could not prevent Macduff, inevitably, killing him. The prophecy was fulfilled in every way, that appears to be fate.]]> 2023-01-23 12:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453176502 25asharpe https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453176759 Macbeth's strongest trait is his battle strength. In the very beginning he wins himself a title and helps win the battle from his prowess. His strength earns him notoriety and is even the reason he was able to meet king Duncan so easily and on good terms. Eventually his uses his strength to kill Duncan. After gaining kingship he held onto his power tightly, and because of his confidence in his skill he doesn't worry about others fighting him. This becomes a flaw when Macbeth uses his strength to hold his title and kill others, and when he fights an unnecessary battle to keep his crown.]]> 2023-01-23 12:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453176759 25asharpe https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182304 Macbeth is governed by free will. He is only guided in thought by the fate predicted by the witches. Each choice Macbeth makes has his final say in it, and at any point Macbeth could have stepped down or back to prevent the unnecessary death. Macbeth is shown the path that would be called fate by others, but it is he that has to walk it. Before he kills Duncan and even after his mind is bothered by the act, it shows that he could have chosen to be different, but he decided to follow a path made by others.]]> 2023-01-23 13:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182304 25eking https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182364 Macbeth's heroic qualities change over the course of the story because in the beginning of the play his qualities were reasonable and understandable. However, by the end of the play his actions become more cold-blooded,irrational, and unreasonably brutal]]> 2023-01-23 13:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182364 25tle1 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182436 I would consider Macbeth inherently good. Macbeth was easily moved by Lady Macbeth and the prophecy that the witches told him. In the beginning Macbeth seemed like a good person, fighting for his country and was "loyal" to the king. With what the witches told him and Lady Macbeth encouraging him to kill Duncan, Macbeth was still hesitant about it all. If Macbeth was inherently evil, he would have instantly jumped on to kill the king instead of reconsidering it. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453182436 25jparker5 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453183211 It is very evident to me that Macbeth is evil. While Macbeth didn't necessarily want to kill Duncan in the beginning, he definitely didn't need to commit all of those other murders, where Lady Macbeth wasn't forcing him to do anything. When he couldn't find Macduff he literally decided to just kill his family, which seems pretty evil to me.]]> 2023-01-23 13:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453183211 25hdugan https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453184593 Macbeth's heroic qualities changed from reasonable and respectable to overpowering and terrifying. He was seen as a respectable warrior in war. But when his mindset began to change those qualities became dangerous. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453184593 25sportnoy https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453185592 Macbeth is governed by fate.

He easily let lady macbeth convice him to commit murder. In the start he is big on morals and not doing doing the murder but then he lets himself be manipulated. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453185673 25sportnoy https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453188406 Macbeth's heroic qualities in the beginning of the book were very honorable.

She loves Macbeth and wants to fulfill that prophecy, but she will step on every moral to get there.

Even from the start, the witches are revealing what will happen; not what could happen, to Macbeth and Banquo. Even though Macbeth tries to change the prophecy, Everything that was foretold happens anyway: which explains why Macbeth is governed by fate.]]> 2023-01-23 13:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453190270 25eking https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453192154 Lady Macbeth and Macbeth have very blurry lines between relationship and sacrifice in their relationship. Macbeth ends up murdering Duncan because Lady Macbeth convinces him to, even though Macbeth did not want to. So, i think that they really do not have any boundaries because of the control Lady Macbeth takes over Macbeth]]> 2023-01-23 13:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453192154 25sportnoy https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453193302 Macbeth's strongest trait is his strength and determination. This became a tragic flaw when he set his mind to kill Duncan.

I think this because his bad choices inevitably have consequences, the witches were able to tell him his fate, and I think that the greater power controls the karma he receives. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453194902 25tle1 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453195517 Macbeth's strongest trait is his ambition. In the beginning Macbeth's good will and strong ambition helped him win battles and fights. That ambition of his also helped him gain the title of Thane of Cawdor. But, that ambition of his can be a tragic flaw. Macbeth has a strong desire for power and advancement. Due to him being persuaded and his strong ambition, he was able to do what needed to be done to get such power and advancement at the time. Macbeth wasn't able to accept the fact that Banquo's descendants would become kings after Macbeth, so he set out to get Banquo and Fleance killed. Without his ambition he wouldn't be able to carry out his evil deeds.]]> 2023-01-23 13:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453195517 25dmills https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453202485 No in the play Macbeth Macbeth's views and action are constantly being changed throughout. the first change could be observed after the prophecy contemplating killing the king. he slowly lost his loyalty to and with a incentive of lady macbeth he killed the king. furthering his loss of identity was the killing of banquo. he lost his true self by betraying his integrity. he follows others or and falls to cowardice ignoring his moral form before.]]> 2023-01-23 13:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453202485 25jparker5 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453208794 Macbeth and lady macbeth definitely dont have any boundaries when it comes to love and sacrifice. Lady Macbeth even makes the strange decision to tell macbeth her plan to kill duncan while they are having sex. When it comes to sacrifice, even when lady macbeth dies, Macbeth says he doesn't have the time to mourn, and doesn't seem to care that much.]]> 2023-01-23 13:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453208794 25tle1 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453214194 I think Macbeth is guided more by free will than fate. Yes, Macbeth was fated to be king, but he was the one that decided to kill Duncan of his own free will. He didn't need to kill the king, but he chose to. His fate may be predetermined, but Macbeth has the power to reach his destiny.]]> 2023-01-23 13:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453214194 25csimpson2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453214459 Macbeth's heroes qualities have changed in the sense that they have completely disapeared. He went from being the hero of the story to becoming a murderer who only does things for his own personal gain. He loses his morals, his beliefs, and everyone he cares about.

At the start of the book, he has his morals in check, and is a decent guy. However, moving forwards, he is pressured into killing Duncan by Lady Macbeth, which starts a spiraling effect of murder & morality. While he is certainly at fault for the murders, some of it can be attributed to Lady Macbeth. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453214757 25asharpe https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453216587 Macbeth stays himself the whole time, but he  changes as a person. The reader perceives Macbeth as loyal and good hearted at the beginning, and through his actions and the words of the prophecy and his wife he murders Duncan. Even though he was influenced to do this he still said that he had ambition that drove him. This was the personality of Macbeth. As he continues to do bad things to keep his title as king he is not acting like a different person. This is something that he wants and pushes for.]]> 2023-01-23 13:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453216587 25jparker5 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453217692 In the beginning, Macbeth was very loyal and honorable. He refuses to kill the king over and over, but Lady Macbeth forces him to.

He makes the choice to be controlled by it and had never been forced to make this choice. he had done everything in his power to follow fate and he could have avoided all of this by not doing anything. he could have ignored lady Macbeth and not killed Duncan nothing would have happened. he made the choice to fulfill these prophecies he was never focused to complete them.]]> 2023-01-23 13:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453221322 25csimpson2 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453222848 They do not have boundaries between love and sacrifice. If they had, they would not have gone down this path in the first place. They choose to murder Duncan for their own gain. And Macbeth continues to kill others without telling Lady Macbeth until after it is done. This weighed on Lady Macbeth's conscience, but she did not tell Macbeth about this. Macbeth does not express concern in the play for her. In a similar way, Lady Macbeth did not express concern for Macbeth when he did not want to commit Duncan's murder. One can question if the two even love each other. At the end of the play Macbeth says that he does not believe that he will grow old with anyone loving him. This may express that he doesn't love Lady Macbeth and/or Lady Macbeth does not love him.

In the beginning, Macbeth's qualities were reasonable and honorable. He was strong and fought bravely for his country as most "heroes" would. He even got the title of Thane of Cawdor. Later on, Macbeth completely changed. He went from being a hero to doing whatever it takes for him to get power and advancement. Macbeth loses all his morals and kills Banquo, tries to kill Fleance, and kills Macduff's whole family. ]]> 2023-01-23 13:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453223921 25jparker5 https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2453231978 In the end, Macbeth was not able to maintain his true self.

He is fueled by his ambition to serve his country and king in the beginning, but overtime that ambition turns against him. His ambition changes to only care for himself. He starts to only act in his own interest. He kills anyone who threatens his reign, threatens the witches to get information, and is too proud to admit that he was wrong.

He starts out the story fighting for his king. He has immense strength that earns him respect.

When he and Banquo encountered the witches, they heard their prophecies and Macbeth took the decision to try and take his fate into his own hands.

Macbeth is willing to tarnish his reputation and become a completely different man just to prove that he is manly enough for Lady Macbeth and Lady Macbeth will not hesitate to manipulate and degrade Macbeth to make him do something. These actions are out of love but come with great sacrifice, mostly on Macbeth’s part.

His loyalty made him trusted by the king getting him close to his men. he trust his wife not leave her out of destions. and he trusted the word of others like the witch and their prophecy.due to this trust he had in others he killed duncan and died himself. he could have not trusted the witches or his wife. but do to his trust from the beginning in his wife and in his wife it became a tragic flaw that cost him his life and the lives of others.]]> 2023-01-25 00:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2455477763 25dmills https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2455495836 macbeth has a no line between the two.

At the beginning of the story, he was a good man with good intentions. He only became wicked because he was pressured into killing the king by his wife Lady Macbeth. This led him to become paranoid about everything and everyone and caused him to go on the killing spree he went on in the play.

Macbeth was Thane of Glamis. He went to war and found out that the Thane of Cawdor was a traitor. His heroic actions of killing the betrayer gained him the title of Thane of Cawdor. Once Lady Macbeth convinced Macbeth to kill the king he became the betrayer. His heroic qualities turned into selfishness.]]> 2023-01-25 03:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2455621996 25srimmer https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2455646052 Macbeth is governed by fate. Macbeth was told by the witches that he will become King. Banquo is also told that he won't be king but he will have kings. Once Macbeth was crowned King of Scotland he was so paranoid that everyone is knows his secret that he goes crazy. Due to his paranoid actions, everyone knew that Macbeth killed King Duncan. Since the witches told Banquo that he will have a line of kings, Macbeth tries to fight fate by killing any prophecy in his way of the remaining king.

Lady Macbeth convinced Macbeth to kill that king. Even though Macbeth clearly stated his morals on why he won't kill the king his love for his wife overruled his morals. Macbeth was willing to sacrifice his reputation and dignity for the love of his wife. Lady Macbeth on the other hand doesn't have a line drawn either. Lady Macbeth also went psycho after convincing her husband to kill the king. Lady Macbeth didn't want to be the reason Macbeth was in trouble so she committed suicide. Her love for Macbeth was so strong that she was willing to sacrifice life for his. ]]> 2023-01-25 04:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2455671261 25htoly https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456065004 I consider Macbeth to be inherently good. Before Macbeth became a power-hungry and ruthless king, he was a very loyal and moralistic man. He proudly fought for and defended his country, gaining praise from Duncan and his people. He was honored with a title as well. At first, Macbeth was very hesitant to kill Duncan and did not want to do it. He only killed Duncan after being degraded by Lady Macbeth and he was driven insane from the guilt. ]]> 2023-01-25 12:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456065004 25hmoore https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456065567 In the beginning of Macbeth, the titular protagonist is shown to be something of a war hero, killing Macdonwald, a traitor, in battle. By the end, he has become no better then him, a traitor to both his country and the crown, and absolutely no more a hero. ]]> 2023-01-25 12:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456065567 25hmoore https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456067113 Lady Macbeth doesn't hold many boundaries between love and sacrifice, giving her marriage, relationships, and eventually life in order to get a firm grasp on the crown. She barely regards Macbeth in the sense of a relationship throughout the book, instead we're only shown scenes of her manipulating Macbeth and scheming for the crown. Macbeth also has very blurry lines, hesitant at the start but soon giving into it. ]]> 2023-01-25 12:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456067113 25hmoore https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456070363 I think that Macbeth is governed mostly by free will. While fate plays a huge part in his story, many of his choices are derived from the will to defy fate & the prophecies from the witches. Although by doing so, he does end up playing into his predicted downfall. ]]> 2023-01-25 12:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456070363 25htoly https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456096197 Macbeth’s experience in war creates an aggressive side in him. We can see his aggressiveness in the beginning of Macbeth after he brutally kills MacDonwald by slicing him from bellybutton to jaw, a very brutal and excessive way to kill someone. Macbeth often results to violence as the most effective way to take care of his problems. Macbeth kills Duncan, Banquo, and attempts to kill Fleance all as a way to protect his prophecy. From this, we can take away that his experiences from war may have altered him to think that violence or death is the best way to end his problems. ]]> 2023-01-25 12:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456096197 25srimmer https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456099183 Macbeth's strongest trait is his ambition. Macbeth's ambition drove him to be a great thane. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth fought for his country to keep it safe. Once the witches told Macbeth he would soon be king, that is when his positive trait became a flaw. Macbeth loved and admired his leader and cousin, King Duncan, but since he would be crowned his ambition led him to go against his loyalty. Macbeth's ambition turned into selfishness. He was willing to kill anything and anyone in his way of the remaining king. ]]> 2023-01-25 13:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456099183 25hdugan https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2456101156 In my opinion I believe that Macbeth is governed by fate and free will.

He began to lose himself after after his first murder of Duncan. Where before he was honorable and loyal to Duncan and his nation, he became paranoid and power hungry.

Macbeth was an excellent thane. Macbeth fought for his country and caught a beytrayor. When Lady Macbeth convinced him to kill the king he told her no.

She never considered for a second how Macbeth would feel about killing the king instead she belittled him for having those feelings by saying he is not a real man.

He was a fierce warrior fighting for his king, and was confident in his abilities. However, once he gained power after killing Duncan, his confidence became a tragic flaw.

These heroic qualities change once Lady Macbeth pretty much turns him into a murderer, after that, Macbeth becomes so self absorbed and goes to horrible and desperate lengths to ensure his own self is protected.]]> 2023-01-26 04:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457095951 25tmaher https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457098771 I believe Macbeth was more governed by fate as it was hearing the witches prophecy which caused his actions in the book such as killing Duncan and Banquo. Despite Macbeth's best efforts, his downfall comes anyway signaling that he is indeed, governed by fate.]]> 2023-01-26 04:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457098771 25tmaher https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457104631 The consequences of war on Macbeth were many and great. Macbeth's exposure to violence as a soldier changed him a lot in that it desensitized him to murder which we gradually see in the text like when he is informed of Lady Macbeth's death, he simply brushes it off as he did not have time to mourn essentially. Even though Macbeth may be used to violence/death, he still suffers PTSD from both the killing he's done during the war and after it.]]> 2023-01-26 04:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457104631 25tposey https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457142811 In the beginning Macbeths heroic qualities are that he's brave and a loyal warrior but as the play goes on these qualities disappear. Macbeths desire for power and ambition lead him to commit murders essentially eliminating his good qualities.]]> 2023-01-26 05:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457142811 25tposey https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457146979 Macbeths strongest positive trait is his ambition. His ambition is his strength allowing him to do well on the battlefield but as the play progresses, his ambition drives him to commit terrible crimes. His ambition is his tragic flaw because it leads him to lose sight of his moral compass causing his downfall.]]> 2023-01-26 05:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amanser/ywa3o2plvnfq8uvq/wish/2457146979
