 * M**ay seem like a valiant soldier, but
 * A**mbition will haunt him until his death.
 * C**aution rules his life to make sure he is superior.
 * B**elieves in fate, that exclaims his power overall.
 * E**vil characteristics fill his soul,
 * T**ill the day when all threats have vanished.
 * H**iding secrets from all.


 * Explanation of Macbeth Acrostic-** Macbeth started out in the play as a very heroic figure, for he just helped win the war for Scotland. Everyone commendedhim for his courageous acts on the battle field. However, when the witches told him of his fate, he tried to do everything possible to ensure his “rightful” throne. Macbeth murdered many of the royalty around him, but he hid his ambitious side from almosteveryone. I thought it was very important to mention in this poem how Macbeth’s characteristics changed throughout the play. During the beginning he was a courageous, honorary man, and then he went to the complete opposite, a power-hungry and evil man. This was such an important part in the play because the main character had to experience drastic changes throughout the play.


 * L**oves the idea of becoming Queen
 * A**ddresses her husband as an equal.
 * D**ecides Duncan deserves death
 * Y**ields to nothing in order to receive the thrown.
 * M**akes sure Duncan moans.
 * A**nother murder paranoids her
 * C**overs up her husband’s mad stir
 * B**egins to sense the problems.
 * E**erie nights transpire
 * T**he blood still lingers on her hands
 * H**ence the fear, seen in the whites of her eyes.


 * Explanation of Lady Macbeth-** In this poem I wanted to show that during the beginning of the play Lady Macbeth was very ambitious because she wanted to receive the throne. I used alliteration and rhyming to show the change in Lady Macbeth and how she was going to carry out her plans. It also was used to represent the evil side of her. And, like the witches who rhyme and are evil I wanted to bring that rhyming scheme into my poem. By the end of the play she begins to see the flaws and how one lie leads to another, which makes her full of fear. When her characteristics changed I ceasedthe rhyming to symbolize the point when she began to realize that the evil she had committed may not have been a wise choice.


 * B**rings a threat to the longevity of Macbeth’s superiority;
 * A**lthough he is one of Macbeth’s good friends.
 * N**ever seemed to be a threat until,
 * Q**uestions arose about his predicted fate.
 * U**ltimately killed by his so called friend.
 * O**fficially returns from the dead to haunt Macbeth


 * Explanation about Banquo**- In this poem, I thought it was important to show that Macbeth and Banquo were very good friends and that Banquo had complete trust in him. However, when Macbeth and Banquo were stopped by the three witches and told of their fate Macbeth began to see Banquo as a threat, because his progeny were supposed to rule next. As, the play continued Banquo died which was an important part in the book. However, Banquo should not havedied this way so he returned to avenge Macbeth as a ghost. He appeared as an illusion that only Macbeth could see and this made Macbeth go crazy and many people began to wonder about the King’s health. This was a very fascinating part in the play because now Banquo got to control Macbeth instead of vice versa. To me this was the best way for Banquo to get back at Macbeth because he could make Macbeth look like a fool without Macbeth wanting revenge. So, I thought it was very important to portray this theme of revenge throughout the poem.
