Macbeth and Macduff Essay

You have some excellent points, yet I think youre missing an essential part of the heading here comp be and contrast. So far youve spoken about Macbeth in great detail and neglected the other dickens. The key here is balance. enjoin Macbeth is comparable so. where as Banquo is like so and Macduff like so (this is contrasting)When comparing you be going to have to look at how separately reacts in certain situations compared to Macbeth. For instance, Banquo reacts to the prophesies of the weird sisters with suspicion, mistrust and a certain take of foreboding whereas Macbeth reacts with elated disbelief, hangs on every word and sees it as the first base of great things. And from his reaction the things said by the sisters were ambitions that were within him already whereas Banquo had no real ambitions to become father to a line of kings before that. Thats why he says Speak to me who neither begs nor fears your favors nor your hate or something like that.And use quotes. A good essay always has good quotes interweave into it. But dont go wild with them. Just break through nonpareil or two here and there to support a point.Also, personally I have never viewed Macduff and Banquo as grinderes. They lack the heroic meter potency of a Shakespearean hero.Shakespearean heroes are dense characters and these two are pretty straightforward. With Shakespeare theres always more to a hero than meets the eye. So I would say, it is clear beyond doubt that Macbeth is the hero of the play. But the key is hes a tragic hero, one who ends up a fallen hero.And arent such heroes always the better?Banquo and Macduff would have been boring heroes, clean, cut and straight as they are. They would have been so predictable. Whereas with Macbeth you could never know what he was going to do.In the beginning we are introduced to this good, noble guy whos fatal flaw is ambition and we go for he wont go through with Duncans take but he does we pity him, hope for his redemption e ven and are shocked by the things that he begins to do after the murder as he grows bolder and bolder.
