Macbeth

I had talked about Shakespeare and his unforgettable work Romeo and Juliet before. Now, I want to talk about his another important work Macbeth.

Macbeth is the most powerful and intense work in terms of literature in the world and it is still be taught. What makes it important is it has some universal values.  Although Macbeth is the shortest work of Shakespeare, it is one of the most important tragedies of him. That’s why it is still be performed today.

Macbeth is a successful commander and while he comes back from military expedition with Banquo, they encounter with 3 witches. They say that one day Macbeth will become a king. So, his wife begins to encourage Macbeth in order to kill King Duncan. She doesn’t wait until the fate will happen spontaneously. Then, Macbeth become a king and he gets Banquo killed. Banquo’s ghost begins to appear to Macbeth and he goes to witches to question why this is happen. Witches say that no one is going to kill him but if they were born by woman. Meantime, Macduff builds an army to kill Macbeth and he strikes out. Macduff and Macbeth fight and Macduff kills him because he was born by caesarean section. 

In this play, Macbeth’s wife plays an important role. She is the most frightening character of Shakespeare’s created and she always stimulates Macbeth to make prophecy happen. Macbeth chose harm because of his wife, he was aware of what could happen. If I were Macbeth, I would never listen to my wife and choose the harm. If one day I became a king, I would wait that day but the main idea is to see results of desires.
