Macbeth by William Shakespeare
The world is changing everyday, sometimes for good, but most of the
time for bad. Macbeth, the main character in "Macbeth" by William
Shakespeare changed a lot in the play, also like the world today he
turned bad. At the start of "Macbeth", Macbeth was a hero, however it
wasn't long in till he soon became the villain. His dreams and
fantasies of becoming King soon became real as he viciously kills King
Duncan and becomes King. Although Macbeth did originally want to kill
King Duncan he soon decided not to. When Lady Macbeth herd of him not
wanting to, she mentally tortured Macbeth by doubting his manliness.
The witches also assisted in this by telling him that he will one day
become king. This eventually drove Macbeth to the killing of King
Duncan.
When we were first introduced to Macbeth, we discovered that he was
very brave and heroic. This made us see him as a good man, who honours
his King and Country. It would be hard for us to imagine him doing
wrong, let alone killing the king.
"For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name-
Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel
Which smok'd with bloody execution"
This shows that even the sergeant sees him as a brave, good soldier
who would fight to the bloody end, also that everyone trusted him and
so him as a hero.
Soon Macbeth starts to change. He meets three witches on the moor, one
tells him that he will become Thane of Cawdor and another witch tells
him that he is going to be King. This inspires Macbeth and sparks off
his ambition to become King.
"Stay you imperfect speakers, tell me more:
By sintel's death I know I am Thane of Gladis;
But how of Cawdor?"
This obviously means that Macbeth is very much interested in the
witches, as anyone would love to be King especially Macbeth. Macbeth
is now influenced by what the witches have said and is keen to become

In William Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, many characters moods change throughout. However, the one character whose mood changes most throughout the play is Lady Macbeth. In the beginning of the play, Lady Macbeth is the one that drives Macbeth into the killing of the king Duncan.

“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” Once said by Marc Twain, this is an excellent example of the human nature that is represented in the play: Macbeth. Shakespeare demonstrates that all humans have the ability to do good or evil. This is strongly affected by the choices that we make and by our actions. These decisions will have a huge impact on our lives and the lives of others. Throughout the play, Macbeth experienced a huge decent into evil and violent action that lead him to his death. With his thirst for power and constant paranoia, he killed his way to seize the crown. By killing Duncan at the beginning of the play, Macbeth soon realizes that nothing can be undone and his blood stained hands can never be cleaned. “A little water clears us of this deed” (2.3 70) said by Lady Macbeth after Duncan’s murder. But what they don’t know is that this is the start of the bloody massacre that will change who they are and how they think forever. Macbeth has multiple hallucinations and his paranoia leads him to hire murderers to kill Macduff’s family out of anger and spite. Lady Macbeth sleepwalks and gets to the point of madness when she kills herself at the end of the play. This demonstrates that our actions can be affected by human nature and our thoughts can be easily corrupted by temptation.

By doing this he showed his love for his country, and history itself, he would do everything to the fullest. He raised his family to the best of his ability, he was a good family man, and a hard worker that endured whatever confronted him. This is why he is my hero, because of his strength and his will to make sacrifices.
