Dead Butcher in William Shakespeare's Macbeth
The term 'dead butcher' suggests that Macbeth is a killer with no
feelings and no remorse or guilt, so that he could freely kill 100
people with no worry on his mind at all. The term suggests that he has
never loved or lost and is a sick human being, this is not Macbeth.
Macbeth justifies this when he feels immediate remorse and guilt after
killing Duncan. He can't even get over the fact that he had Duncan's
blood on his hands. Also the fact that he didn't even make that good a
job of it as he left trails behind him, showing that he was nervous
about what he was doing and was not focused like a 'dead butcher'
would be.
Macbeth at the start of the play has a very good reputation; he is
looked on by the others as a very brave, very strong leader. At the
start of the play this is what his reputation is, by the end his
reputation has crumbled. He is brave by the amount of people he has
killed in battle. Others view him as a very powerful figure in
Scotland.
Macbeth does indeed have a fatal flaw and yes, I think it is ambition.
I think that his very strong willed wife builds up the majority of his
ambition. The way she persuades him makes out as if he is a puppet and
she is pulling the strings. In the end his doubts and awareness of the
evil killing and its consequences are weaker than the persuasion of
his wife.
Macbeth, after he has killed Duncan is in depth with remorse. Once he
has committed the murder he cannot think at all for himself and if it
had not been for his overpowering, domineering wife then he would
probably end up confessing to the murder or being found out. He is
certainly not a dead butcher as the way he acts is totally
inappropriate for a cold-blooded killer. His nervousness is just one
of the signs.

He then suffers a fall from grace before finally becoming a noble figure again in the end.
