Lack Of Guilty In Macbeth's Responsibility

Macbeth attempts to immorally control his own fate by ignoring his conscience to pursue his ambition. Before Macbeth murders King Duncan, he contemplates if he should commit the evil deed that will come with consequences. He stresses, Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague th ' inventor: this even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice To our own lips. He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself (1.7 9-17).

At the begging of the film it was showed that Macbeth is in a fight, he wins and he met three witches that told him that he will be king. At the end of the battle they give Macbeth the title of Baron of Cawdor. Lady Macbeth seduce Macbeth to kill the king, at the party the king Duncan makes Malcom prince, when the party is over, Macbeth kills Duncan when he´s sleeping and Malcom saw the murder, with tears in he´s eyes he escapes.

Who’s to blame? The supernatural soliciting of the witches’ is partially, but not fully, to blame for the events in William Shakespeare Macbeth. While the witches give Macbeth concepts, the events that determine the course of the play are the fault of his actions caused by his desires, influences and ignorance. Macbeth perceives the witches’ predictions as dependable sources of information on which to make decisions.

Duncan is murdered as he sleeps, while Lady Macbeth drugs the servants so they will sleep through the murder and the placement of the knives in their own hands. “Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep/ In the affliction of these terrible dreams/That shake us nightly” (III.II.17-19). After the murder of Duncan, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth begins to realize the remorse of their actions. “Me thought I heard a voice cry “Sleep no more!/Macbeth does murder sleep”--- the innocent sleep,/Sleep that knits up the ravell’d sleave of care” (II.II.35-37).

In the play Macbeth there was a lot of stuff that went on that could keep the reader interested. One of these things are all of the murders in the play. With all these murders happening, there has to be someone to blame. In the play Lady Macbeth is to blame for the murders because she called evil upon herself, influenced Macbeth to be a murder, and she wanted power.

Sleep is one of the purest forms of altered consciousness however, traumatic experiences can impede one’s unconscious thoughts. Macbeth returns after killing Duncan and the guards, grief stricken and afraid. He tells his wife that sleep itself has been murdered and that nobody is immune his treachery (5.1.44). Macbeth’s crime is intensified by the act of murder being done at night and to sleeping rather than awake guards. The moment of guilt that Macbeth felt for his actions represents the hidden innocence behind the crimes.

This was shown when Macbeth saw a child and he heard voices saying “Macbeth shall sleep no more”. Macbeth hear this because the voices are implying that he is no longer innocent and the innocent cannot sleep. Although Lady Macbeth did not commit the crime of killing Duncan, she convinced Macbeth to kill Duncan and came up with the plan. This is why for the same reason as Macbeth, Lady Macbeth has trouble sleeping and starts to

The word “sleep” is used throughout Macbeth with various connotations. One of the ways to interpret Shakespeare's use of “sleep,” is as a symbol of innocence. This symbolism is used repeatedly in concerns to Duncan and his murder. When Lady Macbeth is unable to kill Duncan, she explains, “Had he not resembled / My father as he slept, I had done’t”

On page 35, Macbeth states, “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine making the green one red” (Shakespeare). Macbeth states that his guilt will never be washed away and rather turn innocence into the color of his blood-covered hands. Later in the act, Macbeth talks with Duncan’s sons and Lennox about the murder of the king when Macbeth admits that he killed the guards that were guarding King Duncan. “O, yet I do repent me of my fury, that I did kill them” (Shakespeare).

Even Macbeth himself accepts responsibility for the act, “I’ll go no more: I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on't again I dare not.” (2.2.51-53) Despite the fact that he is convinced he is taking the right course of action, directly following the act he regrets it. He does not blame Lady Macbeth for he knows he is to blame, and she is forced metaphorically clean up his mess by making a mess of the

People are responsible for the consequences of their actions. When people are not responsible for their own actions, they tend to blame others for their problems. The lack of personal responsibility makes us as human beings, less responsible. The more you lack personal responsibility, the more you make excuses in order to get out of your own personal problem. In the story, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, it shows Macbeth being a person that has little to no personal responsibilities.

Macbeth feels that he is the true murderer but as seen in Lady Macbeth's tortured state after, it presents compelling evidence for her role in it all. She questions her inability to not get the “blood” of her hands, “What, will these hands never be clean?” (5.1.37) and goes on to exclaim that no matter what, no amount of “all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten (her) hand” (5.1. 43). Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking and need to get rid of the blood by washing her hands is ironic considering what she said to Macbeth right after the murder, “Go get some water, And wash this filthy witness from your hands” (2.2. 49-50). In the end, Lady Macbeth is oblivious to the switched roles and the revelation of who is truly to blame as her drives her to

Macbeth is the tragic play by Shakespeare that tells a story about a king by the same name who shows what power and influence can do to a good man's psych.

The story of Macbeth begins on a battlefield with Macbeth and his friend Banquo as a bloody battle ensues.

After he kills Duncan, Macbeth says he is unable to sleep ever again. It is a proven fact that one cannot sleep while the conscience is disturbed. When Macbeth tries to sleep, his mind is filled with the images of his dead friends. No one is able to sleep under these conditions. Another way Macbeth learns that effects of the mind is through making irrational decisions.
