One of his most famous ones was Macbeth. Macbeth starts out with Macbeth and Banquo defeating two separate invading armies. Later on in the play, these two men encounter a trio of witches who tell Macbeth that he will be thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland. The king promotes Macbeth to thane of Cawdor. Macbeth lets his greed get to him as he murders the king so he can become the leader of Scotland. He eventually goes mentally. As Macbeth grows more and more reckless in evil throughout the course of the story, his tragic flaw becomes ever so evident.
Macbeth was clearly unable to save himself as he took that enduring fall from grace. Consequently, he destroyed all of Scotland in the process. Evil is a common theme in most literature. An almost unstoppable force that seeks out the deepest desires in people and uses their ambition against them with avidity, while destroying natural order in the process. As evil appear throughout a story, trouble is brought along with chaos and mischief that pushes the characters to follow the path set for them by these forces.
In William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, evil is the driving force that leads the play forward, and the main character Macbeth to. Macbeth written by, William Shakespeare takes place among a gloomy, and aggravating setting during the 11th century. During the start of the play a war against Scotland, and Norway is broke out. This is where readers are introduced to violent, and vile attacks that only get worse as the play continues.
Among the characters that are introduced there is one that protrudes out, his name is Macbeth. The ruthless leader does not allow himself to see the pain, and horror he conflicts. The Witches' predictions encourage Macbeth to think wicked thoughts and carry out evil deeds. 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.
Act 1 Scene 3. Before the first murder of the play takes place there is a slow build up as Macbeth wrestles with his conscience. He becomes more concerned with what might happen rather than reality 'nothing is, but what is not' and uses evil methods to achieve his desires. Once Duncan's murder has taken place, a line has been crossed and further acts of wickedness keep on coming. 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. One of the Witches describes how a sailor's wife has insulted her and how she plans to take her revenge 'I'll do, I'll do, and I'll do'.
Good and evil Macbeth himself is not a totally evil man. Heroism - Duncan and his men represent right and order. They are trying to restore peace to Scotland. Bravery - Macbeth is described as being a brave man, brave Macbeth, well he deserves that name Act one, Scene two, Line 16 Symbols of good - Malcolm and Macduff are built up as figures of goodness and provide a contrast to the evil of Macbeth.
The supernatural - the witches and their spells are linked with the devil.
