"you will be like God" Genesis 2:4- 3:24.5
"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature’s mischief! Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark
To cry 'Hold, hold!'" (1.5.43-57)
"A falcon tow'ring in her pride of place, was by a mousing owl hawk'd at and kill'd/And Duncan's horses-a thing most strage and certain-...Turn'd wild, broke their stalls...'Tis said they eat each other." (2.4. 12-14, 18)
"Well, you may see things well done there: adieu/Lest our old robes sit easier than our new" (2.4.37-38)
"'Lesser than Macbeth, and greater/Not so happy, yet much happier.Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none/So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!'" (1.3.68-71)
"'You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'" (Genesis 3. The Fall. 4-5)
The snake tells Eve that she should eat the fruit because it will give her knowledge and also bring her up to the same level as God
Both the Serpent and the witches provided the wrongdoer with information but twisted the truth to deceive them.
Serpent's Similarities to the Witches
"Come, seeling night,/Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,/And with thy bloddy and invisible hand,/Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond/Which keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the crow/Makes wing to the rooky wood;/Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,/Whiles night's black agents to their preys do rouse./Thou marvell'st at my words: but hold thee still;" (3.2.46-54)
"'Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?...What is this you have done? Cursed is the ground because of you'" (The Fall, 12-18)
Lady Macbeth and Eve both were the ones to initiate the wrongdoing of their husbands
The Original Sin- Eve convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit
"To Adam he said, 'Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,''" You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil 17
Macbeth- Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth that he should kill King Duncan by belitting him and calling him a coward and not a man.
"Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live as a coward in thine own esteem" (1.7.41-31)
"When you durst do it, then you were a man" (1.7.49)
Eve's Similarities to Lady Macbeth
Macbeth and Adam both concede to their wives' encouragement of sinning
The Original Sin- Eve convinces Adam to eat the forbidden fruit despite God's specific orders:
"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it" Genesis 2;4-3:24 17
Macbeth- Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth to murder King Duncan
"When you durst do it, then you were a man;/And to be more than what you were, you would/Be so much more the man." (I.7.49-51)
"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat." (1.7.79-80)
Unlike Adam, Macbeth demonstrates an internal struggle when deciding to betray his loyalty to King Duncan: " He’s here in double trust:/First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,/Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,/Who should against his murderer shut the door,/Not bear the knife myself. " (1.7.12-16)
The Tree is similar to Duncan in Macbeth, because both represent temptation. This is because they are the obstacle standing in the characters way of obtaining more power, changing their place in the Great Chain Of Beings natural order and achieving what they are ambitious for.
The Original Sin- Eve is given temptation to eat the fruit from the tree and become as powerful as god
"You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" Genesis 2:4 3:24 4
Macbeth- Macbeth is told that he will be king. He knows that he would only be king if Duncan was no longer in power, which means that Duncan would have to be dead for Macbeth to be king.
"All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter" 1.3.50
"'There's no art/To find the mind's construction in the face/He was a gentleman on whom I built/An absolute trust'" (1.4.13-16)
King Duncan shows his trust towards Macbeth when he talks about how Macbeth has been by his side for a long time and he is the most trust worthy man he knows
"'
God made Adam in his own image and gave him dominion over every creature in the Garden of Eden, this shows how much he trusted Adam to take care of the garden
God and King Duncan were both betrayed by who they trusted most, Adam and Macbeth. They were the ones that were overthrown, leading to a disturbance in the Great Chain of Being
Big Question?
Is mankind naturally evil?
Ambition causes disruption in the Great Chain of Being and ultimately results in individuals being innately evil
Ambition: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are ambitious individuals which causes them to eliminate anyone who stands in their way
"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil/When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it." (The Fall, 5-6)
"I have no spur/To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting abition, which o'erleaps itself/And falls on the other" (1.7.25-28)
Ambition: Adam and Eve are ambitious individuals which causes them to attempt God-like status
Disruption in Great Chain of Being: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth kill King Duncan to fulfill their aspiration to become king and queen, resulting in a disruption to the order of Scotland
Disruption in Great Chain of Being: Adam and Eve attempt to achieve equal status to God
Evil: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have no morals or loyalty towards God, King Duncan, and individuals interfering with their ambition.
Their ambition and desire to disrupt the Great Chain overpower their judgment and morals
Evil: When given the chance to obey God, Adam and Eve abandon their morals and loyalty to Him and selfishly introduce sin into the world
