Murder of Duncan
-Flaw: ambition
• Macbeth is ambitious
-Thinks of surface impression. Not of why
-Macbeth does not blow it off
• Many say because that’s what him and Lady Macbeth wanted
• Macbeth is not a hypocrite: he knows there will be a price to what he wants
• “But in these cases we don’t have judgements..”
Lady Macbeth
• Pure evil
• She tempted and taunted Macbeth to be King
• She’s animus
• She taunts Macbeth to keep the dream alive
• Anima: Connection with other people , war-like heroe
• Animus: maternal quality
What makes Macbeth heroic?
- politically savvy,
- never evades conversation,
- has a sense or right and wrong
- no hypocrasy in him
