Macbeth: Act 1

        Witches are seen as devil worshippers that only brings disaster and chaos and them taking part in Macbeth's future reveals a huge secret in the play, Macbeth. After act one, Macbeth was respected as a honorable man that's loyal to his wife, king, and friends but all of that change when he met the three witches. When the three witches predicted his future and having one of their predictions proven right, Macbeth started to believe in their prediction of him soon becoming king that his secret ambitions arise within him. But this can only work if he already wanted to be king. If Macbeth didn't want to be king, he wouldn't have let the witches' perditions affected him so much, that just shows that somewhere inside he wanted to be king if he first didn't see it. Another example would be when he said " if it were done when 'tis done. Then 'twere well it were done quickly: …" ( act 1 scene 7), At the time Lady Macbeth hasn't used her power of manipulation yet, she only told him her plan and yet he was already thinking he could do it until his concession kick in. Why would a man with no desire to become king thinks this was okay, Macbeth already had desire to become king he just need certain people like his wife to bring reveal his true deep yearning. Not only does the withes helps bring out his secret ambitions but they also gave us a foreshadow the ending of Macbeth. The play starts off with the three witches committing a supernatural act. Most of the time when people hear the word " Supernatural" they think of the unknown and usually connect the word with negative concept. Starting off the play with dark vibes send the readers that the end will be nothing close to happiness but instead a tragedy.  

       As written above, Macbeth already had a secret ambition of becoming king but her never took action toward it. Macbeth was loyal to his king and always believe King Duncan was a great man and plus he always thought there was a very limited chance for him to become king. But when the witches told him he will become king, his hope rise up and surfacing causing him to fall for their trap. When Banquo first hear the witches tell Macbeth his fortune, Human nature kick in and Banquo got curious and wanted to know his future. Even though he ask for his future he didn't believe in it and thought it was ridicules. Even when they were right about Macbeth getting the name of Thane of Cawdor and he still didn't believe. He only started to kind of believe it when Macbeth became king while Macbeth believed it one hundred percent when he was given the name. By Macbeth complete trust in the witches words helped Lady Macbeth push him to action. Even though he was push and wanted to do it at first, his concession took over and reminder him how "Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office, that his virtues..."( act 1 scene 7) and
so much more. He reminder himself he was " his kinsman and his subject" ( act 1 scene 7). Because he reminder all those things and more he soon realize his plan wasn't right and wanted to back out. He wanted to do the right thing but his wife planed other wise. 

      Back in the past, women were weak, empty minded people that had no power and in that type of environment, yet lady Macbeth has a powerful, undull personality. I admire her strong spirt but as all humans she has flaws. First she was inpatient, when lady Macbeth got her husband letter she was already plaining a plan to get her husband to the top. Her inpatient attitude created a huge mess of events that will soon follow by more madness. Second she was blinded by ambition , Such a prideful women wouldn't want to settle for less; these women only see what they want and they would do anything in their power to gain it even if it means losing their humanity. Lastly she lack concession, she call on the demons to rake control and transform her into a cold hearted women. Since Lady Macbeth is a strong women she wouldn't want a weak man. Even though she attack his manhood in act 1 scene 7 but in act 1 and scene 2 he was called a hero and a brave solider.  She see her husband as a strong, brave, courageous man but also see him as too loyal and too kind hearted. And because of theses two types of different personalities the wife is top dog in the relation ship. Because usually the one with the stronger personality takes charge. And Macbeth love his wife so much that he respected her ideas and thoughts that he making her become more powerful in their relationship.
