Macbeth-Alex+U-Acrostic+Poem

M ade to kill A mbitious after Act II   C orrupted by his loved one B ad in the mind, but still has a heart E xpands his villainous plans T ruthful in life, not H ath not a sane mind
 * Macbeth: **

As ambition is a major theme in this play, and as Macbeth continuously kills, I thought it appropriate to include his ambitious behavior as well as include the Act that his ambition started to shine. My poem goes through the play. There is un-sureness throughout the play, as Macbeth's character changes, the poem changes too, he starts to become ambitious, because of his wife, and then he becomes bad but still slightly sane. However, by the end, he turns psycho. This poem describes his behavior. The sarcasm, apparent towards the end of the poem/end of the play, portrays the changes in the play, and in his character. Over the course of the poem, it the change is present.

**Lady Macbeth:** L ooking for the power A dvertises her love for her husband D eadly but silent, except with her spouse Y outhful, not thinking about consequences M oody, thou can't make up thy's mind A ccidently dangerous C leverly corruptive B ad donkey E legant at sight, until she stabs you in the back, literally T il the death seems to be her motto H ath not a heart, or so it seems

Lady Macbeth, one of the more intriguing characters in the play, has a crazy mind, and eventually makes her husband have a go insane. This poem is more an explanation of her all around character and her personality. There are some lines which describe her, and then there are other lines that describe her mindset. Again, just as in Macbeth's poem, there are little notes/remarks commenting on the line, adding a personal effect to the poem. Some of the lines could also be considered gender roles, "Moody, though can't make up thy's mind". This could be thought of as women being moody. Also this line is in Shakespearian language, though this was not used in all lines, it was used in some to spice up the wording of the poem.

**Banquo:** B loody in the end A live in spirit N oble and loyal, though does not trust his friend towards his own end Q uiet as a mouse U nderstanding how things have changed, but doesn't like how the change has been executed O bsolete in Act IV

As the play moved on without Banquo, most of this poem refers to him as dead. The lines talk about his loyal characteristics, and who he was. He was an important supporting character, always had fidelity to whoever was king. Even when he suspected Macbeth, he still showed himself as a loyal kinsmen. When he was leaving he tried to make it seem as nothing was wrong and tried to act as his normal self. He was a thoughtful and understanding man, and these lines represent that through the vocabulary used.
