Character Summaries
Karten in diesem Stapel (6)
- 1MacbethThe character of Macbeth represents ambition, betrayal and guilt. The witches' prophecies transform him from a loyal warrior to a morally weakened and psychotic.
- 2Lady MacbethThe character of Lady Macbeth represents ambition, cunning, manipulation and guilt. She is a rebel, challenging the submissive role of women and the divine right of kings.
- 3King DuncanThe character of King Duncan symbolises nobility, dignity and trust. A compliment to royalty, he is respected and trusting - but then betrayed.
- 4BanquoThe character of Banquo symbolises nobility, loyalty and trust. Through his loyalty and rejection of the prophecies, he is a foil to the character of Macbeth (a contrast)
- 5The Three WitchesThe Witches represent the supernatural, evil and equivocation. The witches' prophecies never give the full answer (they equivocate) and therefore tempt Macbeth towards his tragic end.
- 6The MacduffsThe Macduffs symbolise family, loyalty and vengeance. The Macduffs serve as a contrast to the Macbeths: they are loyal; they are a loving family; Macduff is the noble warrior when he kills Macbeth
