Macbeth+Project+-+Mitchell+B+-+Acrostic

Being cautious about the witches And being comfortable in his own will Not enough to save himself Quote he "evil begets evil." About the murder, suspicions he had Unfortunately he neglected to act Master of courage And noble in his cause Chose to make the right Decision to leave for England Underneath the exterior Feels grief for his loss Finds the way to end the conflict Macduff is his opposite as his Attitude shifts from bad to worse. Controlled by Lady Macbeth at first But changes into control Ends the reign due to the witches Then lashes out and friends like foes Had to fall in the end

Banquo's poem is supposed to show another side of Macbeth, in that he was not negatively influenced by the witches. He knew he was righteous so he was comfortable with himself throughout the play. Unfortunately he does not act against Macbeth and that results in his doom. Macduff is the most righteous character in the entire play, and does all he can to extend the life of the true crown holders. He looks like all of the devastation is not affecting him, but really he is stricken by grief because of the loss of his son and wife. He turns this anguish into a drive that allows him to kill Macbeth in the end. Macbeth is the complete opposite of Macduff, he is not righteous, he does not care about the true holder of the crown, and is starting to deteriorate after grief. He is controlled by an outside force, but ultimately descends into madness and becomes his own controlling figure. He kills his friends, turning all of them into enemies, sealing his own fate.
