What lead to Macbeth's downfall? Elaborate (100-120 words)
Answers
Answer:
A war has just ended in Scotland, thanks greatly to Lord Macbeth. He and his fellow lord, Banquo, meet witches who tell Macbeth he'll soon be king. Macbeth and his wife conspire to kill the king, and then Banquo because he suspects them. Macbeth becomes king, goes mad, sees a ghost, and makes himself so suspicious that his fellow lords start a war against him, led by Lord Macduff and the dead king's son. Macbeth kills Macduff's family. Macbeth's wife goes insane and dies. He believes himself invincible thanks to another prophecy, but Macduff kills him via a loophole, thereby winning the war. The dead king's son becomes the new king.
I enjoy writing about Shakespeare and Macbeth, but I do draw the line when it is so obvious that you are asking me to do your homework for you. The knowledge you will gain from reading the play and giving your own voice to the response is key to your development of critical thinking skills. I will suggest that you find a recording of the play and listen to the recording as you read… it will help you to better understand the text and write your 119 words on your own. Good luck!
