Wat is Macbeth abOUt?

 Macbeth is organized into 5 acts.  Each act contains several scenes.  The play starts with a prologue scene given by the three witches who occasionally appear between major scenes to foreshadow or comment on events.  Shakespeare has some offstage action in several points in the story.  He uses offstage action for Duncan’s murder and Lady Macbeth’s death.  The single plot is chronological and easy to follow.  There are no flashbacks but there are some dream scenes, for example Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking.  The attention is generally paid to Macbeth as the focus follows him through the play.
Exposition - The exposition is very vague since the characters are introduced throughout the first part of the play.  It can be considered that the entire first act is the exposition.
Initial incident - The three witches start the play off with a prophecy that Macbeth will become king and that Banquo’s children will become kings after Macbeth.
Rising action - The rising action is when some of the prophecies are coming true and Lady Macbeth is trying to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan.
Crisis / Climax - The climax is the actual murder of Duncan.
Falling action - The falling action is all the events occurring after the murder where Macbeth tries to hide his crime and cement his position as king by killing other would-be kings.  Lady Macbeth goes insane.
Denouement - Lady Macbeth dies and Macbeth is executed.  Malcolm becomes the King.
 Now to my Favorite character which is Macbeth which i think a lot of people will chose as he is the main character but i like macbeth is because  Macbeth shows us that cheating will not get you were you want to go. And he is brave-well he deserve that name- with his brandish steel and steel plate he chopped his way through his enemy like squishing an ant as the two spent swimmers choke their art thou didst leave it.
  Lastly, i can learnt that greed is something that cannot be avoided when power comes. when greed crawls over your body choking you, you will fall into the dark trap and do any thing it want as thou it control you like a puppet.
WELL TILL NEXT TIME...
