Macbeth; hero or villain?

Kenzi Whitney

Other Murderous Activity

  • Macbeth murders a sleeping man, his benefactor, and a guest that is with them, in cold blood.
  • Then kills the guards to cover up his tracks!
  • He hires murderers to do his bidding for him after he becomes content with the work that he's done and so he can have a clean conscience.
  • Like murdering his best friend Banquo and his son, Fleance.
  • Sends murderers to Macduff's castle to off him and his family.
  • Macduff's son is stabbed to death in front of his mother's eyes.

Macbeth; Villain

Macbeth was a villain for many different reasons.

  • Because witches tell Macbeth that there are prophecies, he decides he wants to play a part in making them come true. So, he and Lady Macbeth get the guards drunk and kill the king with daggers.
  • Macbeth is then named King and gets power hungry.

In the Beginning

  • In the very beginning of the story, Macbeth has just cut an enemy in battle from his belly to his throat.
  • He then kills the Thane of Cawdor to receive his title.
  • Macbeth carried the daggers with him after murdering the king, and is scared to reenter the castle to clean up the mess/replant the daggers.
  • Then he takes credit for being a hero for finding the guards to be guilty.
