In the Shakespearean play, MacBeth, A Scottish nobleman starts off by killing one man to have king but in the end has left a whole path of destruction behind him. MacBeth, is the main character who alongside his wife, Lady MacBeth, kills moreover to become king. Then kills again just so he can keep the throne, and once he becomes suspicious of another person he kills them. So I will try to show the advancement of MacBeth&8217s aggression. At offset MacBeth is rather nervous to commit the first murder, and Lady M. isn&8217t bear upon but after that MacBeth begins to have no remorse. In the first 2 acts of the play, MacBeth, Lady M. keeps on urging MacBeth to kill Duncan, The king. So I will comparing and contrast the beginning attitudes of MacBeth and L. MacBeth and as the story goes on.In 1.3 of MacBeth, MacBeth and Banquo meet the Weird Sisters and they greet MacBeth, &8220Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and King hereafter. This is the beginning of the demise of MacBeth&8217 s sanity. As the story goes on and MacBeth is at Duncan&8217s castle, 1.4, Duncan names his son, Malcolm, the new Prince of Cumberland, meaning he shall be king. MacBeth then says, &8220The Prince of Cumberland That is a step on which I must fall shore or else o&8217erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, Hide your fires Let not light see my black and deep desires. I think this is when he gets the first ideas of murder into his head. But when he goes home and tells L. MacBeth that Duncan is coming to stay for the night she says, &8220 O never, that sun shall morrow see.(1.5) She is getting the same ideas of MacBeth of killing Duncan, but MacBeth begins to think it is a bad idea. And MacBeth even says, 1.7, &8220 We shall proceed no further in this business. But L. MacBeth seems to want it more when she said back in 1.5, &8220 Come, you spirits, That tend on soul thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me to the toe top-full of direst cruelty. Implying that she wants to become cruel and ev il enough to commit the deed herself. Finally in 2.2 MacBeth kills Duncan.After the murder of Duncan MacBeth becomes real jolty and nervous. He shows his nervous he was when he was killing Duncan when he said he heard voices, &8220Sleep no more, MacBeth does murder sleep &8220Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor.
