Macbeth - Context and Themes
Contexts
Kingship
Shakespeare wanted to impress the new King James
Comparing Banquo to King James
Believed the 2 are related
Banquo seemed good but could be seen as cynical for not revealing what he knows about macbeth
King James seemed good but persecuting catholics, a faith shakespeare is sympathetic too
James was fascinated by the supernatural
what did shakespeare believe about supernatural?
Expressed the consequences of killing the king
Equality
Men had control and were stronger
Gothic Theme
dark, gloomy setting
chaos
Ambition
changes macbeth from a "valiant" soldier to a "dead butcher"
makes people ruthless and selfish
macbeth couldn't stop killing, to secure his position as King
Macbeth's destroyed by it
Macbeth's "fatal flaw"
Lady macbeth says "he is not without ambition, but without / the illness should attend it"
He's not ruthless enough
makes macbeth act against his morals and better judgement
"o'erleaps itself / And falls" - aim too high and risk losing everything; foreshadows macbeths downfall
malcom/macduff ambitious for scotland
get rid of macbeth for good of scotland
Banquo is ambitious for his sons but doesn't act on it (reference to witches prophecies"
"I have no spur but only / Vaulting ambition"
Loyalty/Betrayal
Loyalty is rewarded
Macbeth rewarded with title of Thane of Cawdor
Malcolm rewards the thane's loyalty
Betrayal is punished
Macbeth killed
Macbeth betrays his sense of right and wrong, leading to his death
Macbeth's pretend to be loyal
Macbeth is Duncan's "kinsman and his subject"
Lady Macbeth says "Your servants ever"
Juxtaposition of Lady M plotting Duncan's death and welcoming him to her castle - more dramatic
Good/Evil
Macbeth is a good man who does evil things
goes from "noble" to a "tyrant"
lady macbeth links cruelty with masculinity
Wants spirits to "unsex" her and fill her with "direst cruelty"
Femininity holds her back from violent action
she relies on manipulation rather than force
Battles
At start - enemy army is led by "merciless Macdonald" whose "villanies of nature" show he's evil
The last battle show macbeth is an "abhorred tyrant" who represents evil
Reality and Appearances
deceptive
"look like th'innocent flower, but be the serpent under 't"
macbeth needs "false face" to hide murderous acts
when see's banquo's ghost his face is "the very painting" of his fear and betrays his feelingss
Lady Macbeth has no trouble with a disguise, faints to keep up the persona, but her guilt becomes too big to hide and begins losing her mind
Play shows people's true nature comes out in the end
"fair is foul and foul is fair"
good things are actually evil
witches convince macbeth of a false reality
"none of woman born" gives him false confidence
Pardoxes creating uncertainty; nobody can tell what is real
macbeth says "Nothing is / but what is not"
"False face must hide what the false heart doth know"
Fate/Free Will
Not clear if it was fate that killed duncan, or macbeth's free will
macbeth is happy to let fate take it's course
"chance may crown me / without my stir"
lady macbeth thinks macbeth is fated to be king but makes macbeth act anyway
"fate and metaphysical aid doth seem / to have thee crowned"
macbeth thinks people aren't in control of their fate and are actors playing a part
"life is a poor player / that struts and frets this hour upon the stage"
Chooses not to kill Duncan - he is in control
Macbeth then chooses to act, via persuasion from his wife, ignoring banquo
"instruments of darkness"
some prophecies are self-fullfilling, macbeth causes it to happen
