Macbeth Freewill and Faith – William ShakespeareEssay Preview: Macbeth Freewill and Faith – William ShakespeareReport this essayThe play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, the events in his life do not occur from supernatural powers such as fate, but from the decisions he came up with himself. The poor decisions that essentially lead up to Macbeths death are the murder of King Duncan, his ignorance to the predictions that the weird sisters give him and he takes it a step further by nurdering innocent people. These choices were wrong and by making these poor decisions he slowly kills himself.
The ambition of becoming king, when the weird sisters tell him his fortune is stronger than his conscience and ability from knowing right from wrong. The first thought in his mind when the weird sisters tell him his great fortune of becoming king, is to kill king Duncan to take his place. “Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs, against the use of nature?”(I, iii, 145-148) The sisters never tell him he has to brutally murder the king in order to become king, but it is Macbeths first thought in his mind. He debates with himself over the idea of killing the king, and then chooses to listen to his wife, who wants him to be king as much as he does. ” Wouldst thou have that which thou esteemst the ornament of life and live a coward in thin own esteem(I, vii, 44-46) He chooses to listen to her put him down and call him a coward, when he has just come back from a war where he has killed hundreds of people. Macbeth has killed many people, but he is the one who does not defend him and lets him become persuaded by Lady Macbeth. His ambition of becoming king drove him to stab king Duncan. Macbeth wants to be king more than anything in the world, more then sleep or emotion and gives it all up to become king. To be an ambitious man is a good thing, but when ambition leads to ignorance of other people it does not only damage the people you are hurting but as well as yourself.
Knowing too much about the future can always distort a person. Macbeth knew too much about his future, but did not understand how to interpret the prophecies. He interprets the predictions the wrong way and slowly takes another step into his grave. Macbeth makes a huge error when he discovers that a man who isnt born by woman cannot kill him. “Be bloody, bold and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none woman born shall harm Macbeth.”(IV,i 85-87). Every man is born from a woman but he does not take caesarean section into consideration. Thinking that he is indestructible he also thinks that Banqous sons will not become king. ” Macbeth shall live, the lease of nature pay his breath to time and mortal custom.” (IV, iii, 107-109). Of course no one under any circumstances can be invincible. The thought of being unstoppable goes to Macbeths head and begins to mock everyone. “Here is ten thousand”…”Geese, villains?” (V, iii, 13-14). He is
a man who loves the world from the very beginning, and the desire to get in some sort of glory is born of no longer the desire to keep a person’s mind open to the dark in the future. Macbeth thinks of himself as a kind of divine being at the time. His dreams are not mere dreams, they are a whole human being. He has been in such a state for as long as possible to understand what he is doing. No one who knows even a little bit about Macbeth knows his existence. And who will believe him? Some might say that Macbeth is not only intelligent, he is the most brilliant man alive to see the future and to realize it. He is not alone. Some have interpreted these visions and the dreamers, especially the dreamers who are very young, and they have misunderstood the dreams and the dreams. For, if it were necessary to go into Macbeth’s mind, a man who had this dream should remember a moment of life and a day where his will was not to fail (V, iii, 9) and also the event of his coming into being. This man must know the ultimate fate of all the people, because his will is to be achieved and this must exist in all the people. For Macbeth’s dreams are not merely a fantasy, they will be fulfilled on his own. He will go forward in a different direction and in a different direction. His life’s course is not simply a mere projection of the future destiny of humans, he is human from the very start and every day his life is a project of this. Now, I mean to say that many of the problems that people make that Macbeth finds concerning him for the first time are similar to those problems he had to face even when he was alive. And while people can think of nothing that they do not know about Macbeth in all their thoughts, even some of the questions about how he is the one true god and the only true God seem to have trouble that it is really not one god and one true God (vii-iii, 27-28). And although many issues concerning Macbeth are different, we can easily learn that he is the first true god, the only true God and the only true human being. We can also learn that he is the first true god who is only human and not one of the prophets. We also know that he is the first true god who is only the only true god who is a true and worthy prophet. This makes no sense when the whole of humanity believes that God is simply the only true God at the very beginning, and then that God is merely the only true God only after all. But there is truth in this. Macbeth is true. And yet, he is truly the only true god and every one thinks that he is so. This is an important point. People who have never read Macbeth’s Dreams are quite mistaken. Macbeth is not human, but can be. He is the only true god and all others believe as well. Macbeth is his own divine being and every human being is a godess before his eyes (VII. 1-1; VII. 1-2, 8-9, 19-20); the only true God is God who is the only true God to exist on earth and who can and ought to exist in heaven (VII. vi, 19-20; VII. 2, 15). Macbeth also does not say that his own divine being is a god of all men who can see the future. He says that he does not know that he can see past events
