"THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH"


Discussion Questions

1     Describe Macbeth's character. Is he completely a villain? Does he have a conscience? Explain.
Macbeth’s character is not a villain in that sense. Is actually a person that got insane of what the witches told him (about he will be King) and what Lady Macbeth was persuading him to make the killing. For me he had a conscience of what he was going just to get he wants power, money, and leadership.

1    What are the forces that determine Macbeth's destiny? To what degree are the witches responsible for Macbeth's downfall? What roles do fate and free will play in Macbeth's destruction?
The forces that determine Macbeth’s destiny are the 3 witches. The witches were some part responsible like partially; they only influence Macbeth’s fate. Due to that fate that they provided him, he turned ambitious, hunger of power so he’s the only one responsible for his downfall and play his destruction and brought about by his own free will.

1     As a psychological symbol, what does blood represent for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth?
The blood represents murder and dead for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

2     What is your favorite scene in the play?  Explain why this scene is so memorable to you and how it will help you remember The Tragedy of Macbeth for many years to come.
My favorite scene in the play is when Lady Macbeth killed the King by her own hands which means betrayal and it is so memorable to me because you can see in real life how people betrayal you even your own family for insignificant things. Actually Macbeth and his tragedy is and still remembered till many years because we can relate it as I said before with the real life. In how people do bad things to get something but at the end you have what you deserve…

3       What do you think are the most important themes of Macbeth?
The most important themes are: ambitious, appearance and reality, honor, power, greed.

4     Were you satisfied with the ending of the play?  Explain your answer using specific evidence from the play.
Is not bad the end of the play but I would like it to be different. I think it will be better for the ending of the play that Macbeth is in hail for his crimes and when he’s in bars he sees ghosts of all the people he killed and then he gets insane and kills himself.
