Macbeth+Project+-+Nyal+P+-+Acrostic+Poem

Motivated to kill by his Ambition or his Companion's ambition as he Bestows death upon Everyone who remains a threat to his Tyranical rule over His Scottish throne.

Leading Macbeth on an Ambitious journey. Duncan's death Yields great fortune for her.

Monstrous like a zombie And self-ambitious as a child. Crazy like a drgu-addict Bestowing chaos upon others. Emotions get the best of her Though guilt can put Her sanity in question.

Battle warrior who was Astounded by the prophecies. Now his progeny will take the throne Quietly suspecting Macbeth as he was Unexpecting of his fate as he was Overpowered by Macbeth's murderers.

Macbeth's acrostic poem is quite self-explanatory. The first three lines just reference how all of the deaths were a result of his ambition (which is motivating him to kill) or his companion's (Lady Macbeth) ambition. The next two lines are about Macbeth attempting to protect his throne at all costs. It was for this reason alone that he turned to kill his friend, Banquo, and Macduff's family. The last two lines refer to Macbeth's character through the eyes of his people. There is an obvious association with Macbeth and being a "tyrant". It was for that reason that it seemed appropriate to have "tyrannical rule over his Scottish throne" in the poem of the tyrannical ruler. The Poem for the word "LADY" refers to the beginning of the play where Lady Macbeth persuaded and was ultimately the driving force in the events leading to Duncan's death. Obviously as a result, she became queen so Duncan's death was most definitely a great fortune. Now the "monstrous like a zombie" is really important because here I'm trying to make the analogy between something that only acts on pure instanct (a zombie) and someone whose only instinct seems to be ambition for the throne. Of course I use the word "monstrous" as what she had to do and get associated with when acting out of instinct (or ambitiously) would generally be considered atrocious. The next line refers to a child with ambition because a child is something with great hopes and dreams but generally little means of fulfilling those hopes and dreams. Similarly, Lady Macbeth needs Macbeth to help her fulfill her desire of taking the throne just as a child would need his/her parents to pay for an education or training. Crazy like a drug-addict and bestowing chaos upon other represents how she went crazy in Act 5 scene 1 and how she was a part of a large number of conspiracies. The last three lines refer to act 5 scene 1 again but it's important to note that it could be her emotions, guilt, or both that drove her sanity away. I put battle warrior for Banquo because he went to battle and was helpful in the very beginning of the story but he later found out, with Macbeth, the strange prophecies. For that reason, the second line talks about prophecies because if you think about it, Banquo was really only a threat because of the prophecies. The third line simply references how Banquo's progeny, who married into the royal family, will fulfill the prophecy of eventually becoming king. The next three lines are about how Banquo had his speculation about Macbeth. He knew something was not quite right but never expected that he would die because of Macbeth. How could he?
