Macbeth

Macbeth Macbeth is a tragic story of the struggle between good and evil. One can blame the weird sisters, or Lady Macbeth for the evil deeds done but I believe that Macbeth himself was ultimately responsible for his own downfall. I also believe that you can’t determine his downfall by one single cause but rather three forces: supernatural, external, and internal. In my essay I will explain each of these forces, and I will refer to specific lines of the play to give you a clear image of my points. The beginning of the play suggests that dark supernatural forces will be involved. Three weird sisters are preparing a surprise for Macbeth, a surprise that in the end costs him his life. These three witches’ predictions play a very important role in Macbeth pursuing with evil deeds. The witches are the first to unleash Macbeths’ deep desires by ensuring him he is to become King in the near future. This starts by a prediction of becoming Thane of Cawdor. After this almost impossible prediction becomes true Macbeth decides that perhaps it is not so far fetched that he will become King.
