Ruthless ambition and moral scruples in Shakespeare's "Macbeth"


Essay, 2008

7 Seiten, Note: 1,0


Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung

Is Macbeth blinded by his ruthless ambition? Or does he still have moral scruples? This essay is an analysis of the figure Macbeth with the aim to proof that he does have moral scruples, which eventually lend credence to his character.

Macbeth is certainly one of the shortest tragedies written by William Shakespeare. Still, it is one of the most well-known Shakespearean tragedies. The entire play consists of only five acts which tell the story of the ambitious Thane of Glamis Macbeth, who murders his king in order to accede to the throne. The main character shows an unusual complexity for such a concise play.
