So Macbeth is crazy and so is his wife.
She has a serious sleepwalking wound where she is over taken by her own actions.
Can her actions be connected to the curese of the witches and Hecate?
And she dies.
But Macbeth shows no sorrow.
Maybe this was his revenge to her for pushing him over the line. I have read many heores and the main reason of their fall have always been women. WOMEN. they should be avoided at all costs if you are in a position of greatness.
And comes the "dramatic" fight. Macduff has his reason for revenge and Macbeth has his confidence on the witches' words. But he must have known their faultiness because he is not shaken with fear when he hears his destruction.
He keeps clinging on to something. The witches, his wife, his power, and prophecy of fate.
I agree with Yurie in that Macbeth sould have had a more dramatic ending. But maybe Shakesphere did not want to limit his play by giving specific accounts. I think he wanted the play to lay open for the audience's imagination. Whether Macbeth said sorry, surrendered, cried, begged for forgiveness, or cursed like a mad man, fought feircely is only a part of all the possibilites SHaesphere could have used. But he did not want to make it fixed.

Maybe you misunderstood a bit of my post because I kind of came to the conclusion that Shakespeare was right to give Macbeth an un-dramatic death because it showed that he was just human in the end. But yes, a part of me still would have liked it to be more ... interesting? Climactic? Even though I guess it was to some extent.
ReplyDeleteI think Macbeth clung onto those people/things because he was so insecure even though he achieved power. It wasn't the power he desired though, because he never felt safe in it, always paranoid, hence his beliefs in others and his ultimate downfall.
Oh, and I guess you'll never have to avoid women then, Ben, since you'll never be in a position of greatness.
;)
hahaha oh I must have misunderstood you then.
ReplyDeleteyeah, he must have felt insecure he needed something, someone to depend on.
That is much the case with insecure people i know. They cling on the one person and then, that one person changes over time.
I just hoped that Macveth would find his peace at the end during his battle.
HA
ReplyDeletewell you will have to see and wait if i will be great or not.
