Diction Of Macbeth

There are many factors that determine how people behave in their daily lives. We are run by a number of rules and regulations that influence the way we behave, talk and live. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding shows that without the influence of a civilized society and law and order, people’s characteristics can change drastically. Similarly in Macbeth, Shakespeare represents the loss of morality of a leader as his hunger for power clouds his judgement. Both pieces of literature present how both writers view the breakdown of morality through the breakdown of civil behaviour.

Macbeth is the Shakespearean play that features the triumphant uprise and the inevitable downfall of its main character. In this play, Macbeth’s downfall can be considered to be the loss of his moral integrity and this is achieved by ambition, despite this, Lady Macbeth and the witches work through his ambition, furthering to assist his inevitable ruin. Ambition alone is the most significant factor that led to Macbeth’s downfall. The witches are only able to influence his actions through Macbeth’s pre-existing and the three witches see that Macbeth has ambition and uses it to control his action.

Shakespeare’s Macbeth exhibits the intriguing themes and concepts of violence and power. The play is based around the central character Macbeths and his miscalculation whilst attempting to gain power and to be king of Scotland. The theme of violence permeates the play and all the characters use violence to their own gains. The obsession of power can lead to the downfall of many characters. Though these themes, the characters of Macbeth are driven to the point of destruction.

This written task is based upon the play Macbeth. Though readers identify the titular character of Willian Shakespeare’s Macbeth, another character stands out as a much greater protagonist. While Macbeth is driven towards madness and into committing atrocities as to fulfill his ambitions to the throne, Macduff lacks such a flaw and endures an uncorrupted and loyal behavior throughout the play. As Macbeth strives to gain power and accomplishes his purposes at the expense of King Duncan’s life, Macduff meanwhile endures great personal loss in his attempts to cease Macbeth’s despotic behavior and restore justice and freedom to Scotland. The format has been changed from a script to a soliloquy as to highlight Macduff’s perception of the tragedy that has sadly inflicted his family. Lady’s Macduff, wife of Macduff, the Thane of Five, and her, in the play, unnamed son’s appearances are brief: she and her son are introduced in Act IV Scene II, a climactic scene that ends with her and her son being murdered on Macbeth’s orders.

But this didn’t happen on its own; things that affected his character were his power and confidence in front of others, how his relations to the witches increased, and his insufficient restraint in evil activities. There are many sides to this powerful drama, including different sides to just one character. This essay could be written about nearly any of the roles in the play and would still be just as layered with many different examples.

In what ways are the themes, messages and ideas of the play “Macbeth” relevant to contemporary society?

Renowned playwright William Shakespeare is often praised for his manipulation of the English language into beautiful poems and plays. However, when Shakespeare wrote these famous plays in 16th century England, he was often censored and his works were released as other poets’ adaptations. While the censored versions usually followed the original plot, they typically failed to deliver the same experience to the audience due to their diminished language. William Davenant’s adaptation of Macbeth is one of the many rewritten Shakespeare plays that pale in comparison to their originals. Unfortunately, Davenant’s version is one with less vivid and sub-par imagery as well as simplified and misguided dialogue.

Macbeth is a play, written by Shakespeare, that parallels with history. During Shakespeare 's time, there was much discontent with the ruler of the time, King James I, and as a result, many English subjects plotted to kill their king. Furthermore, The Holinshed Chronicles is another source of inspiration for Shakespeare 's play. Many historical characters from The Holinshed Chronicles such as, Macbeth and McDuff, appear in the play. However, Shakespeare alters their achievements and qualities from history to fit more perfectly into his play. History and The Holinshed Chronicles impact Shakespeare 's Macbeth, and this proves to be important to the reader in understanding the underlying meaning of the work.

Not only has Shakespeare’s, Macbeth, been told through page but also through the theater, opera, and the magic of Hollywood. Many writers have attempted to bring Shakespeare to audiences many a times with new settings set throughout time. There are a plethora of adaptations of Macbeth, some brilliantly made, others that weirdly work, and some that just should have never been allowed to have been made but there is no doubt that each one allows the viewer to dive into William Shakespeare 's original story.

If one has read ‘Macbeth’ a number of times, it is clear to recognise that there are large parts of the speeches and soliloquies that have been left out. However, Shakespeare’s story does not lose out as a result of the cutting down within this film adaptation. According to Kurzel in an interview with Film 4, the director stated that he did not want the soliloquies to lead the film (YouTube, 2015). I found that the way the soliloquies were presented in the film, as though the characters were in conversation with a figment of their imagination, to be a clever and inventive way to adapt a traditional screen version of Shakespeare’s work. It aids in the translation of their growing insanity and reclusiveness, but also in understanding post traumatic stress disorder that both Kurzel and Fassbender have claimed their adapted Macbeth to have (Film 4, YouTube, 2015). In this instance, it can be said that Kurzel and Fassbender have appropriated the character of Macbeth and his issues down to post traumatic stress disorder to ultimately bring the past to the present
