The He-Man
(The Examination of Macbeth 's manhood)

According to Oxfords dictionary Manhood is defined as “The state or period of being of being a man rather than a child.” This definition is so broad though, manhood can be related to just about anything; graduating high school, graduating college, getting your first job, getting married, and have you first kid. The possibilities are endless, but when I think of manhood I think of a man, sorry ladies but it is called manhood, that 's one: independent, hardworking, a leader, and a provider. With that being said I going to now talk about a cat called Macbeth, you may of heard of him. He 's that one dude from “The Tragedy of Macbeth” the play written by the most famous poets of all William Shakespeare, …show more content…

Shortly into the play Macbeth is on the battle field tearing stuff up, and let me tell you he is one bad solider. King Dunncan comes to the battle field and his captain tell him how Macbeth defeated the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, “...... he unseamed him from the nave to th ' chops, and fixed his head upon our battlements” The King responds “O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!” In these day your job was to be a warrior, and you worked hard by killing a lot of people, so the King is acknowledging Macbeth 's manhood in his …show more content…

That was my remix to Adele 's song “Skyfall”, just kidding I could never sing like that, but the statement is true. At this point in the play Macbeth is pretty jacked up mentally wise, he just had his best friend murdered and shortly after that he saw Banquo ghost. So it 's safe to say he 's only a couple loops away from being a fruit loop. He decides to go and see four witches to get some answers and some closure. The witches give him four prophecies, but he only understands three of them. The first one is: “Beware of Macduff”, the man who is plotting against Macbeth, the second one is “No man born of a woman can harm you”, and the third one is “No one can take you kingdom until the trees around your castle move.” Macbeth is relieved by these prophecies because for one he had already planned to kill Macduff, two every man is born of a woman, and finally when the do trees ever move. So Macbeth is feeling like he 's to cool for school, nobody can touch him, he 's the man above all men, he is The HE-MAN. Little does he know that witches filled him with a false sense of peace, Macbeths world is about to come crashing down, and Macbeth will get

    Macbeth rejects conformation to traditional gender roles in its portrayal of Lady Macbeth’s relationship with her husband, her morals and their effect on her actions, and her hunger for power. Her regard for Macbeth is one of low respect and beratement, an uncommon and most likely socially unacceptable attitude for a wife to have towards her spouse at the time. She often ignores morality and acts for the benefit of her husband, and subsequently herself. She is also very power-hungry and lets nothing stand in the way of her success. Lady Macbeth was a character which challenged expectations of women and feminism when it was written in the seventeenth century.

  • Masculinity In Macbeth Essay

    783 Words  | 2 Pages

    A prominent theme in William Shakespeare’s novel Macbeth is the idea of universal masculinity. Throughout the play, Shakespeare utilizes male gender stereotypes to present conflicting views on the definition of manhood. Macbeth tells the reader about a man who allows both societal pressures inflicted upon him by his wife and his intense ambition to drag Macbeth into a spiral of committing obscene acts of violence. Characters often associate being a man with courage, cruelty and power. This pervading caricature of a “man” is evident to the reader throughout the play. Lady Macbeth, for instance, goads Macbeth about his masculinity to the point of murder. Additionally, Malcolm and Macduff’s rigid discussion on revenge reveals a defined notion of “true” masculinity. Perhaps the culmination of rigid gender stereotypes is evident in Macbeth's pondering of the legitimacy of the hired murderers' manhood. Clearly, Shakespeare upholds male gender stereotypes throughout Macbeth.

  • Masculinity In Shakespeare's Macbeth

    The play Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, is a story that revolves around reversals and the idea that “fair is foul and foul is fair” (I.i.12). One of the most intriguing characters in the story is Lady Macbeth, who manipulates her husband Macbeth to carry out her nefarious plans. Her obsession over the prophecy that Macbeth will be king incites her to convince Macbeth that he must murder Duncan. Lady Macbeth introduces her own view of masculinity that stems from the idea that men are inherently reckless and greedy. Although Macbeth contemplates whether or not to murder Duncan, Lady Macbeth taunts and persuades Macbeth by challenging his masculinity. She envisions a man to be someone who will take any actions — regardless if violent — to attain his goals. In this way, Lady Macbeth is like a puppeteer who pulls the strings for Macbeth. Because Lady Macbeth appeals to so many male characteristics and acts overpowering in her relationship with Macbeth, it is evident that Lady Macbeth is suffering from gender dysphoria due to her immense desires to

Little did Macbeth know, that all of these foretellings would bring about his demise. Macduff was born out of a dead woman, so he was the only one who could hurt Macbeth. When Malcolm's army attacked Macbeth's castle, they camouflaged themselves with trees, thus giving the appearance of the forest coming to the castle. Finally, Macduff was the only thing that Macbeth had to worry about, because he was not born of a woman, and could kill Macbeth. Macbeth completely disregarded the Witches' prophecies because he thought of them as rubbish.
