Macbeth is a renowned play about a man dominated by his appetite for power, the same appetite that led to his demise. There have been many adaptations of this acclaimed play and my group’s own adaptation has added to the list. Essentially, for my group’s Macbeth scene adaptation, we decided to focus on changing the diction, setting, and characters of the original play. Diction is important in a piece of writing because it determines how the audience will interpret it. For our Macbeth adaptation we made the decision to greatly change the diction.

In Shakespeare’s famous tragedy Macbeth, he utilizes various techniques in order to develop the theme of negative consequences when one’s ambition gets out of control. Though usage of metaphors and diction, Shakespeare is able to weave the theme into the core of the play while having it remain an interesting story. One of Shakespeare’s most notable skill as the world’s most famous playwright, is his almost impeccable ability to use figurative language to convey a scene. Macbeth is a prime example of his masterful command of the English language.

The movie adaptation by Rupert Goold instead takes place in a World War II esque era, and it expands upon the rhetorical appeals in the book, by adding visuals that assist the viewer in fully comprehending the original text. Through the uses of different visual techniques, such as panning, facial expressions, and editing, allow for the director to emphasize the meaning of a text by making the message into a visual medium. Lady Macbeth uses rhetorical appeals by evoking emotions into Macbeth by questioning his masculinity, and exhibiting Macbeth feel guilt in changing his mind about murdering Duncan for the title of king. In turn, this scene is enhanced by the Goold adaptation of Macbeth by using visual rhetoric techniques, such as camera zoom, facial expressions, and body language, in order to stress the rhetorical appeals used by Lady Macbeth. Questioning his manhood, Lady Macbeth is able to use rhetorical appeals in order to persuade Macbeth into executing King Duncan.

Macbeth is the Shakespearean play that features the triumphant uprise and the inevitable downfall of its main character. In this play, Macbeth’s downfall can be considered to be the loss of his moral integrity and this is achieved by ambition, despite this, Lady Macbeth and the witches work through his ambition, furthering to assist his inevitable ruin. Ambition alone is the most significant factor that led to Macbeth’s downfall. The witches are only able to influence his actions through Macbeth’s pre-existing and the three witches see that Macbeth has ambition and uses it to control his action. Ambition alone is displayed throughout the play to be the most significant cause for Macbeth’s downfall.

Thesis statement: In Lady Macbeth's speech convincing Macbeth to kill Duncan in Act I Scene vii, the speaker's persuasive tactics, the audience's knowledge of Macbeth's character, and the effective use of rhetorical appeals and literary devices contribute to the powerful rhetorical situation. Lady Macbeth employs the rhetorical appeals of ethos and pathos and utilizes the literary device of manipulation to convince Macbeth of the necessity and righteousness of regicide. Body Paragraph 1: Speaker, Audience, and Rhetorical Situation Lady Macbeth's speech in Act I Scene vii presents a crucial moment in the play as she persuades Macbeth to commit regicide. The speaker, Lady Macbeth, is a determined and ambitious character who seeks power and control.

Throughout the play, Macbeth’s actions are being controlled by the emotions of greed, fear, and jealousy. Firstly, Lady Macbeth begins to ask the spirits to hide her fear. She shows this when she asks the spirits to make her masculine and cruel. This is

Act 2, scene 2 is quite an important scene in Macbeth, since it marks the changes of the characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Their thoughts and emotions are presented in this particular scene. It shows the different roles that they play and how much they have been influenced by the witches’ prophecies. Lady Macbeth claims to be courageous in the beginning of the scene, by saying ‘that which hath made them drunk made me bold’. She seems to be very keen about this murder and very confident, and the fact that she was alone on stage emphasises it.

The scene Act 3 scene 2, conveys the theme that killing someone isn't the most proficient way in dealing with problems nor does it make life simpler, instead it creates more complications. Ironically, In this scene Lady Macbeth and Macbeth discuss the death of Banquo; both of them begin to show signs of fear & guilt. Both of them realize the troubles that come with killing Banquo, and recognize that troubles follow; his son Fleance can still cease the prophecy. This is demonstrated in the metaphorical quote “We have scorched the snake, not killed it.” Macbeth refers to Banquo as a snake, who has not yet been killed and is still able to “attack” them.

The play Macbeth, directed by Stephen Brown-Fried at Northern Stage, makes the audience feel that they are actually in the play. First, the costumes of the actors and the objects they use are modern. For instance, Macbeth and his minions were dressed in a military costume; the props used for set design, the stainless fridge, an iron table, wooden benches, barbed wired fences, can all be seen in today’s world. These modernized props and costumes comfort the audience because they are familiar with those objects and scenes. This familiarity creates the shared interest and is an essential foundation for the audience to feel like they are in the actual scenes.

In this essay, I will be analyzing literary elements, linguistic features and structural features that are present in Act 2 Scene 1 from lines 39 to 72, Macbeth soliloquy. The main plot that happens in this soliloquy is that Macbeth is working on his plan to murder King Duncan so he could become King according to the witches’ prophecy in Act 1 Scene 1. Within this soliloquy, Shakespeare added numerous amounts of literary devices with the purpose of give a visual imagery to the

Macbeth’s state of mind changes dramatically throughout the play. This is revealed through his soliloquy. In his soliloquy, He shows his intention he would like to achieve but its construction shows Macbeth’s mind still very much in confusion. However, most of the time Macbeth shows three different fears considering the consequences of killing king Duncan. At the beginning of Act 1 Scene 7, Macbeth is in turmoil about killing Duncan.

This debate between the pity found in Macbeth’s mental state and the fear he evokes through his actions continues as Macbeth becomes a vicious tyrant. Not only does he kill off more of those around him, including the family of MacDuff, all for the sake of proving his power over those around him, but he rains famine and tragedy across the land. Macbeth’s inhumane actions easily draw fear from the audience as it expresses how uncontrollable and deranged, he has become; Macbeth is truly far from the hero first introduced. Extensively Macbeth begins to trust fewer and fewer individuals, he becomes more paranoid about the things going on around him. Specifically he can’t sleep and fears loosing his power.

Through keen use of action, soliloquy, and dialogue, Shakespeare causes any audience to react sympathetically to Macbeth’s negative attributes and perhaps even relate. For instance, Lady Macbeth’s manipulation is an aspect many readers can level with. Once it becomes clear that Macbeth’s mental health is diminishing, the audience inevitably begins to pity him. In his final moments, the desperation Macbeth feels is hard for the audience to ignore. Evaluating Macbeth’s character in full rather than focusing only on his negative attributes inevitably evokes sympathy from the reader.
