Macbeth Character Shakespeare
The character of Macbeth is not an easy one to understand. At the beginning of the play Macbeth is praised by many people as being a hero when he has defeated the Norwegians. The captain says: "Brave Macbeth "When Duncan hears the news he adds: "o valient cousin "and "Noble Macbeth ".
However Macbeth is becoming tied up with things that are not good. ... When the three weird sisters do meet with Macbeth and Banquo: "All hail, Macbeth! ... ", " All hail, Macbeth! ... ", "All hail, Macbeth! ... "Macbeth knows he is the Thane of Glamis but how can he be the Thane of Cawdor, the Thane of Cawdor lives a prosperous life and becoming king is just unthinkable. This gets Macbeth thinking about what they mean.
At the start of the play the audience hail Macbeth as a hero but as he begins to think about murdering the king the audience feels he isnt so heroic after all, and they begin to dislike him.
We learn from Lady Macbeth, the person who knows him best that he is too nice to be able to kill anyone especially the present king: "is too full o th milk of human kindness, "says Lady Macbeth.
